Q: Cant find this topic

frontrow
In Itunes, I have started importing movies, and using iflicks to get metadata into the movies and all is well.
However, am I wrong to assume that the Genres that show in Itunes, dont show when viewing in Frontrow? I have also tried creating a movies playlist in Itunes, simple. But this doesnt sow in Frontrow anywhere, just a flat a-z list of the movies in itunes. This *****.
Is this right or am I missing something?

Will this be the same for an ATV if I get one of those, or should I stop my importing and find another way to present the movies on my telly.

Thanks

Matt

    Front Row doesn't have a genre category, and movies don't work in iTunes playlists in that app. You can create folders inside of ~/Movies with your genre names and place aliases towards the real movies there. It's kind of a pain to maintain if you are constantly adding movies like I am though.

    Apple TV does respect genres and your metadata will probably read there fine.
