[QUOTE="fforde, post: 812098, member: 52082"] [B]The Good:[/B] There are dozens of things I love about MPTV-Series, too many to really list here. Really what makes it great is not any one thing but just the whole package. It makes it easy and enjoyable to browse your movie collection. The UI is fairly strait forward and focuses on the content. MPTV-Series is the top rated MediaPortal plug-in for a reason. [B]The Bad:[/B] I was hesitant to even post here because MPTV-Series is such a great plugin and it doesn't feel right making a post dedicated to trivial short comings.
