[QUOTE="Dadeo, post: 793815, member: 27204"] Hi dir: Thanks for helping make it clearer. I apologize if the Blog was not clear. I thought when I stated that My Films supports seven different movie catalogs, it was obvious that it is mainly for movie catalog users. It's the hazard when you are so close to something, you assume things are obvious. :) Sorry for that! However, as Guzzi states in the first post of the release thread: If you are happy using Moving Pictures or MP Videos, then please continue to use them. However, I think the hundreds of thousands of users of Ant and other movie catalogs have good reasons to 'bother with them' ;). And for those users, using Moving Pictures or MP Videos would result in duplication of all their data. That is the whole point of My Films, it doesn't! Those are the target users of My Films, and they are already very accustomed to their movie catalog app, and to managing their own data, so My Films is quite easy for them. What I love about MediaPortal is that it provides options for all different users and use cases. My Films is a perfect example of that because it offers movie catalog users a plugin where they do not have to duplicate their data or switch to a whole different user interface if they don't want to.
