    I'm new to my Z20, but really enjoying it so far. In Home Theater 4, I created some new category's, but now would like to delete the category. I can see how to uncheck and hide them, but how would I delete them?
    Also, I have Movies and Music videos, which all end up in the Movies category. I would like to remove the Music Videos from the Movies category. I tried looking at the filters, but don't really see a way to do that? Is it possible?
    Thanks,
    Tom

    To delete a custom category press <menu> and select "Delete"

    Unfortunately because there are only two parent categories, Movies and TV, music videos will inevitably end up in the Movies category.

    However, it's fairly easy to workaround by using separate "Sources" for Movies and Music.

    So on your storage have a folder "Movies" and a folder "Music" with relevant content in each (TV Series as well if you use them).

    Then use each as a separate scan Source. You could then hide the All, Movies and TV categories and use the Sources widgets instead which would be "Movies" and "Music" (and "TV Series" if required).
