There are two 'types' of menus in MediaPortal, the 'main' menu, and often a Context Menu, sometimes called an Actions menu, which displays in most windows when you select an item and press F9 or the Info/More remote button.

Main Menus are are available on most screens in MediaPortal. Sometimes they are visible right away, sometimes 'hidden' or accessible by pressing the left or right arrow key.

The first three options are 'standard' on most MediaPortal menus:

• The Layout button opens a dialog to select the layouts
• The Sort by: button allows you to select Sort options while the up/down arrow button determines ascending or descending sor order.
• The Switch View button opens a dialog window where you can select different Views, such as Title, Year, Genre etc.

Other buttons allow you to:

• Perform related actions, such as Play DVD
• Configure settings (in some cases)
• Navigate to related screens, such as Playlists or Trailers (if the Online Videos plugin is installed), or Subtitles (if the SubCentral plugin is installed), as on the Video Menu above.
