To add to gabbott's question above, you'll need to have your movies scanned into the library before you have the Fan Art view and Hide Information option available. See Adding_videos_to_the_library (wiki) in the wiki for details.

Shouldn't matter whether you're using file mode or Library mode. The fanart view should be there. When you're on the "videos' level, do you have Movies and Tvshows listed there? If not, then your sources need to be scanned into your library.

Head into the files menu and while highlighting your source - Movies (or whatever you're calling it), press "c" on the keyboard, and then choose "set content". Pick movies, check your settings, and then "yes" to refresh all items. After the scan is complete, you'll have the start of your movie library. For more details, check the link in my signature.
