Sorry if thus has been asked before..
I have xenporta installed and the homepage URL was like this
http://example.com/index.php
now after installing xenMediaGallery http://example.com/index.php became the forum homepage and xenPorta resides here http://example.com/index.php?portal/
and the media gallery here http://example.com/index.php?media/
------------
What should i do to make http://example.com/index.php the xenPorta homepage, like it used to be?
<nvm...........just found out the solution in xenmediagallery.com>

Yet, on the flip-side, there needs to be some sort of solution for clicking through to the media page when we get to this scenario:
So I guess I'll be looking at a configurable option that is automatically changed when the title style property is disabled.

Me too. It costs a lot of questions if you leave it like this.
Video previews can be disabled in 1.2.0.
People seem to think this is a bug, but it's actually as designed. It's great to have an inline preview of the video right there. But, I also appreciate it isn't to everyone's tastes.
I will be making a post soon about the new style properties relating to the thumbnail container and a few screenshots of various configurations that are possible.

I just made this post, outlining some major changes in thumbnail creation:

Maybe you can think of a way to chose between "inline preview" and directly viewing. It's not that "inline preview" is a bad thing, it's just that people don't understand why it doesn't show the whole thing. Maybe you could put a preview-icon on the video along with the play button. So that the preview-icon shows the video inline and the play button loads the whole thing. that would be better then skipping that functionality.
As for the thumbnails and stuff: I (and i think i can say "we") are really really really looking forward to the user-albums. So if it's me wou're asking, skip everything else and make my day (or week, or maybe even month)!
Of course everyone is looking forward to User Albums. But there's fundamentals that I have to get right first. One of them was thumbnail creation and a more robust way to control the appearance of thumbnails.
On the other points relating to previewing, I'm not sure what you mean...
The thumbnail can either be used as a quick preview to see the video, it has a full screen button if you wish to watch it full screen right there, or you can click the title to go to the full media page. If you have the "Enable Video Preview" checkbox off (or the title disabled) then it will just link through to the full media.

Personally, I can't think of any time I would want to watch a video in the size of a thumbnail.
Upcoming: Upcoming: Find New Media (and Latest Comments)
A commonly requested feature is the ability for media items to appear in What's New.
In its current form, What's New is only geared up to show threads. This is as designed by XenForo. The signs are obvious. The title of the What's New page is actually "New Threads". The URL you are taken to is "find-new/threads" and if you've ever taken a look into the code it will be clear that What's New was only ever designed to show a single content type: threads.
Perhaps then, this is one reason why another commonly requested feature is the ability for threads to be created once media is added to the Gallery. If that were to happen then media item would appear in What's New.
So I have a little good news and a little bad news.
The bad news is, there are no immediate plans to have threads created when a new item of media is added.
The good news is... well... here:
Version 1.2.0 of Xen Media Gallery has extended the existing What's New screen to add an additional tab.
The "New Media" tab will function similarly to the existing What's New page. If you have not yet viewed a media item, or it has received a new comment, then the media item will appear under the New Media page.
The New Media page is accessible either from clicking on "What's New" followed by the "New Media" tab or by clicking the "New Media" tab that appears under the Media nav tab.
To further highlight any new comments that have been added, version 1.2.0 includes a new sidebar block:
(Just in case it's not clear, the avatar is the avatar of the comment poster. Their username is visible in a tooltip. The link in dark blue is the media title and a link to the media. The text in black is the actual comment that has been posted)
In the Admin CP you can specify the number of latest comments that are viewable and the length of the comment text that should be displayed. BB Code is stripped out from the comment text automatically.
I hope you will enjoy these new features
