[QUOTE="chumblespuzz, post: 414591, member: 90849"] Got a few questions... #1 I have some lecture series made by the learning company. I was thinking the best way to view these would be like tv show using the 'mp-tv series' plugin. I was just trying to figure the easiest way to import the information. Most of the lectures have 24 parts...one as many as 96. Editing each files info with the MP config. program seems like it would take forever. Can I make an .nfo file for each ep...or one file for all the eps? And if so how do I go about doing this? Also how can I get a screen shot of each ep to be displayed when browsing the lectures...I have the music video pluging and it can grab a screenshot at any specified location. As far as artwork is concerned I can download some stuff to use for this as well as make some generic banners main screen. #2 I have a few movies with multiple discs...like Lord of the Rings. My dvd's are all ripped as image files. When I go to play one it asks if I would like to have it play multiple discs in a row. If I select to do so it just locks up. I checked and saw that Daemon tools only had 1 virtual drive setup and thought this would be the problem and added a second but it did not help. BTW: the image files play fine if I choose to just play one. #3 Any thoughts on organizing and playing home movies? What do you use to play them... #4 I see there is talk of a MP2....does this mean that all the hours I am putting into setting up MP1 may have to be repeated if MP2 is released and I upgrade? #5 Backing up all the effort. Is it safe to assume that if I make a backup of the 'Team Media Portal' user folder then all my settings and tv episode info and art and music info etc. will be backed up? Lets say for example that I removed MP from my pc or formatted the HDD and reinstalled windows....leaving all media in place on other drives. If I reinstall MP and simply copy the user folder back in place will I be ready to rock with all my info in place? The folder I am referring to is located here 'C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Team MediaPortal' #6 Also still having a problem playing .vob files with the music video plugin. About 300 of my music videos are .vob files. When I go to play one of them it simply locks the program up. Pressing F2 frees it up but I still cannot play the file. #7 I sorta asked this previously but was also wondering...in regards to .nfo files. I have a few tv shows and misc that are not listed on thetvdb and as far as I can tell the info will have to be entered manually unless I can use NFO files. I am thinking this would be the easiest thing to do for the home videos and the lectures if it can be done this way. This way if something happens and I have to reinstall I will still have the info for these sort of things without having to reenter it. :thx:in advance for any help!!! [/QUOTE]
