[QUOTE="dir, post: 793735, member: 24485"] I still don't get My Moves. It requires someone to have created an ANT movie database. The ANT system has always been overwhelming to me - it presents about 200 importers of all languages and systems. I just want english. I don't want 200 options. I just want it to import my existing collection in english. I know that there are many, many, MANY people out there that don't speak english as a native tongue. I get that. I'm not disparaging them. I'm simply saying that the ANT system is so overwhelmingly complex to the uninitiated person that simply wants to point it to their collection and have it import the **** [edit: why is the forum editor bleeping out the word 'm e t a'??] data simply. Without configuring a bunch of stuff. I've looked at My Movies 3 times over the past 3 years, and I still can't see why people would bother with it. I don't keep my collection in ANT so that it's available in other systems. It requires a lengthy learning curve and decisions that are not intuitive. It creates a database separate from Media Portal, resulting in duplication of information. Sorry, I just don't get it. but then again, clearly I'm not the target user. And I'm simply posting my perspective so that others that haven't tried it yet can get a viewpoint that may help them decide that it's not worth it and there are much simpler alternatives out there. No offence or fanboyism intended. [/QUOTE]
