    Also, what about cast pictures, I see MyFilms supports those, but not sure where to configure grabbing those?

    Thanks!
    If you enable them in config, MyFilms will load them either automatically in the background or manually by choosing menu.
    MyFilms will recheck for new images and data for persons after - iirc - 90 days - so once the stuff is loaded, that won't happen until ttl has passed - however, you can always manually update a person - or all persons - of a movie.

    To get a cover to display for these collections you need to put a "Toy Story Collection.jpg" into the MyFilms/pictures folder.

    I created unique pictires for my collection to quite identify these inside the MP/MyFilms GUI Coverflow view. :)
    Just a note: The next feature release will have the possibility to load the collection covers in GUI interactively via context menu - it offers you the available collection covers and you just choose the one you like most.

    I've found a nice media manager called ViMediaManager (http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=109976).

    My main machine is a Mac, and my HTPC only has a little Logitech DiNovo Mini keyboard, so going through 600 films on EMM with that is gonna be a pain!

    The only thing is to get ViMediaManager to work with MyFilms. I'll have a play tonight and let you know how I get on :)

    If it supports nfo files, cover and fanart, it should work as good as EmberMM - in case, there are sliught differences, you could modify the nfo grabber script to work with what is created ...

    To make sure that al works, I'd just do 10 or so movies and then try an import. :)

    V2 looks good ysmp (y) - but there are not many docs yet :( - you haven't written them? ;)
    For example there is no xml import right? And no easy way to create a nfo for my hundreds of DVDs?
    So how do I import all my DVDs?
