I would like to know how to view the PLOT of a movie. I do not see PLOT listed under presentation and catagory listings, is there a way to add it?

Thanks.

serviio serves it but it's up to the device to display it (I don't know about any that does)

Sorry for my ignorance, but what is a PLOT of a movie? Synopsis, summary ?

Does mrss <description> also get served as 'plot' etc? If not, there's an idea.

Ok, so it's just the TV not making any use of it. No surprise there.

The PLOT of the movie is ==> a synopsis of what the movie is about. The information is generally gathered from a source like IMDB.com or another site that is similiar.

Since that information is gathered I would like to know how to view it. Under the tab presentation in the SERVIIO console and then under videos there are many different listings to show (actor, director, genre, etc.) it would be nice to have one called PLOT, and that is where that information could be viewed and populated.

the tab is only used to configure the display categories, not to view information about the files.
