Also, dont know if this helps, I full exported DVD copies on a single large HDD. So they have a directory structure as follows:

F:
<movie name>
<VIDEO_TS>
<AUDIO_TS>

Thanks for any info and thanks for a great plug-in.

You mast configure in this way:
on the plugin configuration you mast put "URL" on the field "Ant Item for storage file info".
On the AMC you mast put on the "Sito WEB" field this file structure:
C:\DVD COLLECTION\INSIDE_MAN\VIDEO_TS\VIDEO_TS.IFO (this is only an example).

Thanks for that, I should have responded yesterday, I sorted it out, I checked out the source code to work out how it does its stuff.

I would prefer it the plugin just took the directory name and then executed any video file inside, ie it was a bit smarter. As it stands you have to specify the exact filename.
