*EDIT* Looks like you can set the view using 'Container.SetViewMode(id)' . Not too sure how to find the id value for 'Media Info' though. I'll keep looking.

Good find. I noticed on the site below there are various built in functions we can try to us... SetViewMode or even things like SortDirection, etc.

In reading around the forums though, it sounds like SetViewMode's ids are skin-dependent and could vary across skins. Like you, I would love it if the "show" level could have one view and then the "episode" level could have a consistent view and not be different per show. Have you found anything else in the forums that would help us? Thanks for continuing to look!

FYI... Kricker just gave me access to the github so I just checked in the code from post #40.

I just stumbled upon an addon that appears to set the view to fanartposter in the default confluence skin for menu items off a list view (does that make sense)? It's Bluecop's Amazon Prime add on . I briefly looked through the code in \plugin.video.amazon\resources\lib\listmovie.py and found:

Code:

# 501-POSTER WRAP 503-MLIST3 504=MLIST2 508-FANARTPOSTER
confluence_views = [500,501,502,503,504,508]

then further down:

Code:

if viewenable == 'true':
            view=int(common.addon.getSetting("movieview"))
            xbmc.executebuiltin("Container.SetViewMode("+str(confluence_views[view])+")")

I've got one foot out the door for vacation for the next few days so I won't be able to try this so if you want to give it a crack I think you just need to feed it 503 or 504 to get the media list view to show up in the episode specific menus. Not sure how this would be handled for other skins but I'm using confluence as I would imagine a great many are as it is the default skin.

FYI... just checked in some updates to the github to address this and set default views depending on where you are. Ideally in the future we could add additional settings to allow you to configure what you want your default view to be... but this should be good enough for now. Thoughts?
