Gamacky (from the Mymovies forum) has created a hack for MyMovies 2.43PR4 that allows for 6 thumbnails per row instead of the typical 4 on a 16:9 display. You can follow the progress in this thread.

This is a great little hack. For those of us who have hundreds (I have over a thousand) movies in their database, it can take 30 minutes to scroll through them all when looking for something to watch. This puts more on the screen at once and should really help.

If you do this hack, make sure you backup all the .htm files that it replaces first. I’ve tried it on one of mine and it works, but it is a hack, afterall…

Update

Apparently, the thread has been yanked. I’m going to assume the developer for MyMovies pulled the thread. I don’t blame him for not wanting hacks posted on his own forum…they can lead to dirty support issues. If there is continued interest, I can provide the files necessary. Just register with a valid email and leave a comment requesting it.
