Hello everyone,
I am fairly new to all this, for the past year I have been using a 2TB HD connected to my LG tv and have been happy with that simple set up but I am getting to the point that I want something more functional, which led me to discovering MediaPortal. However, I had a couple questions before I commit to changing everything over. I admit I have only glanced over the website but I haven't found any information on the 2 main things I am looking for.
First, I have theatrical trailers for each of my movies. Makes it easier when having guests over when choosing a movie. Is there an interface that gives the ability to watch the trailer or the movie when viewing the movie's description page? Even one that streams the trailer from the web would work and actually would be preferred.
Second, I also have many of my favorite TV shows downloaded. Is it possible to view them sort of the same way Netflix sets up their TV shows? They have a main page for the particular show with it's general description of the series and list of episodes. Then you can go into the individual episode you want to watch and it gives a brief description of the episode. Also if I start an episode, would it continue on playing the following episodes or not?
Thanks for any help.
