Are Video and Moving Pictures DB's linked? (1 Viewer)

[dmcaloney]

Hi there

apologies for the stupid question (bit of a newbie)

I have my system all up and running with Moving Pictures looking after my movies just as I want.

However, I now want to import about 100 or so football matches I have ripped from DVD, but keep them separate from MovingPictures.

Therefore I was wondering if I could import these using the standard Video feature of MediaPortal and this would keep them separate?

Are they two completely separate entities? i.e. if I clear the old stuff out of the 'Videos' database and then import the football matches in there then I could use the 'Video' feature to scroll through these and the Moving Pictures side of things would remain untouched?

Or is there a better way to do this?

Many thanks.

AW: Are Video and Moving Pictures DB's linked?

short answer: yes.
Both databases are seperated and you can manage your football games in myvideo without "seeing" them in moving pictures

Thanks Joe.

Is there a long answer I need to be wary of

You should also take a look at TV Series support for sports.

Thanks guys. Went for the 'Videos' option rather than the TV Series in the end. I already use the TV series for TV shows and I wanted the football stuff to be completely separate.

Not as many options as using Moving Pictures (no summary details etc) as I cant match my games with IMDB obviously, but displays the filename and I can put them into sections etc, so does the job.

Thanks.

oh and while we are on the subject... I am using the StreamedMP skin and created a specific black homebutton for a football menu to tie in with the theme of the others.

If anyone wants it I have attached it.
