Ant Movie Catalog XML into MP (1 Viewer)

[Tesla]

My first MP setup is going nicely.

I'm using TV-Series and Moving Pictures for local copies of movies (favorite movies I have room for, either XVID or whole VIDEO_TS). I like how TV and Movies are separate.

I'm looking for a 3rd (and final) separate area/screen to upload my XML DVD catalog from Ant. I like updating Ant on the desktop, and just exporting the XML (and .jpgs) occasionally. Ant contains all my purchased DVDs collection (only). In Meedio, it let me display the static catalog, separate from the videos list (local files).

It looks like either TV-Series or Moving Pictures has deactivated or replaced the internal Video Database. Is there some way to use that for Ant? Updates will always in done in the ANT desktop app. and XML exported (one-way) down the MP.

Maybe somebody using Ant (or similar desktop/external DVD colection database) is doing something similar?

ysmp,

That looks like just what I was looking for. Appears to be separate from TV-Series and Moving Pictures (again ... perfect).

This appears to be the old version:
MEDIAPORTAL - free media center - My Films (ANT database Importer)

So, instead, I should get it here:
MEDIAPORTAL - free media center - MyFilms v4.8.0

--- and install it with the MPI in Configuration? (Haven't used MPI before/yet)

Looks like it will work with StreamedMP (even better).

Works Great

ysmp,

Thanks for the tip about MyFilms.

I installed 4.8.0 through MPI.

After simple config, a XML export of my offline DVD catalog (stored in Ant Movie Catalog) shows up as a seperate menu item in MP ... perfect!
