## Browsing the Database

The browse view allows you to list the content of your database by applying filters to the available data. On the top of the screen you'll find a row of radio buttons to list the available titles sorted by the first letter of the title.
This means if you select the `DEF` filter only movies beginning with a D, E or F are shown in the list.

When adding movies it is a good practice to move common words like `the` or `a` to the end of the title to have the sorting make more sense.

Example: `A Clockwork Orange` becomes `Clockwork Orange, A`

VideoDB treats TV episodes special, which means they are not shown by default. To show them, `show TV episodes` must be enabled. You can change this behavior in the configuration.

When selecting the `all` filter all movies are shown - please note that this can take some time if you have a very large database!
Usually the list is always sorted lexically, you may change the sort order of the `all` filter to sort by the `DiskID` in the configuration.

The `unseen` filter just shows you the movies that are not marked as seen yet by you.

When using the `new` filter only the 15 newest additions to your database are shown. You can change the number of shown files here in the configuration.

The last filter is the `Wishlist`. Movies shown here are not yet owned by you and will not show up in any of the other views (not even with the `all` filter). To add a movie to your wishlist just add like every other movie but set its mediatype to `wanted`.
