[QUOTE="Dadeo, post: 773062, member: 27204"] Hi matejdro: I do exactly what z3us recommends for all my CDs/DVDs/BRDs. I have many binders for my discs and I use a catalog system: e.g. CD1-001 which means it is the first CD Binder and the first 'sleeve' or 'envelope' (no those are not usually called 'folders' in English ;)). Then: [LIST=1] [*]in my Ant Movie Catalog DB I enter 'CD1-001' (or the correct catalog #) in the [B]Media Label[/B] field for each film (you can use whatever field you wish though) [*]in My Films setup on the General Tab at the bottom I select [B]Media Label[/B] as the Ant Identification Item [*]I add a 'label' I want to display in My Films when I try to play the film on that CD (e.g. 'Cat ID' or 'Index #', whatever you like) [/LIST] Then when I try to play a film in My Films that is on CD/DVD/BR, My Films will tell me where I stored it. :) I also usually create a custom view by Media Label so I can see an index of all films in my binders. However in My Films 5 I find I hardly need that anymore because I can search for a film so easily and look up my catalog number or even search by properties using media label and find all the films on that disc. Of course, you could create a custom sort order instead so you can just sort your films by Index/Catalog number. If your index number is very important to you, then you can make it a User Defined Display Item on the Views/Filters tab in My Films Setup. You can even change the display items within My Films on the Options Menu > Display Settings. Display Items 1+2 usually display on the main window in most skins, so that way you can always see your index numbers for each film without going to the Details Window. All user display items usually display in the Details window normally in the Overview view. If you need to see screenshots - see [URL="http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/17_Extensions/3_Plugins/My_Films/Customizing_My_Films"]Customizing My Films[/URL] in the Wiki Of course the above applies to Ant Movie Catalog (which is why Guzzi asked what movie catalog you use). However, IIRC most movie catalogs offer a similar field you can use. I have added your question to our MyFilms FAQ under [URL="http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/17_Extensions/3_Plugins/My_Films/0_My_Films_FAQ/Index_CDs_DVDs_BRDs"]Index CDs[/URL]... because I think it is an important one, and a very good example of what My Films can do for you. So thanks! [/QUOTE]
