[QUOTE="foxbenw, post: 831051, member: 115475"] Hi I just voted for AMC. To be honest it's more because of a process of elimination than anything else. It seems to me that none of the other external programs have all the functionality needed to be good enough to give up the extra functionality of AMC updater. A lot of them can't cope with bluray folder structures, for example. At first I thought both MyMovies and Extreme Movie Manager (XMM) looked promising. But MyMovies can't export the actor photos for MyFilms, and while XMM looks like it would be good, I never got past stage one (importing my movies) because it couldn't do a recursive folder search (ie sub folders) for DVD folder structures, and I was roundly ignored on the forums after pointing it out. Therefore rather than trying to change something that is not really there to support MediaPortal I thought it best to use AMC. Currently I am running both Moving Pictures and My Films (!) because I haven't decided whether I want the customisation of my own database with MyFilms/AMC or the no interaction but some inevitable film matching errors from MovingPictures. Both are great plugins. As an aside, is it possible to grab actor photos via AMC? Ben Had to edit as I kept saying MyFilms instead of MyMovies :oops: [/QUOTE]
