Couple of questions (1 Viewer)

[Binarycow]

Hello,

I have a couple questions:

1. Is there ever any plan to make this a standalone application?

2. I notice on the details tab, each series is highlighted in a different color:
- For a Series, Black and Blue
- For a Season, Grey and Black (Grey if none of the episodes have local files, Black if at least one episode has a local file)
- For an Episode, Grey and Black (Grey if the episode does not have a local file, Black if it does)
What does the color coding for Series mean?
Is there any way to make it so the Season is only black if all aired episodes have local files, and grey if only non-aired episodes are missing local files?
- My intent is to use the application to determine if one or more episodes are missing at a glance, so I may acquire them (thru legal means of course)

You can use the ConfigPluginLoader.exe tool to directly load the configuration screen. The ties with MediaPortal are too strong to become a full standalone app, but you can at least launch the config easier that way.

There are also other applications out there on SourceForge and such that allow you to verify if you have any missing episodes. But MediaPortal offers a lot more, so you could consider using all the benefits.

Can you recommend some applications to organize my TV collection?

I stopped caring for any other solution since I switched to MediaPortal. The best way is to find one that ties into your method of obtaining new media.

My best guess on your method would be: Sick Beard - Internet PVR for your TV Shows

Sickbeard looks great....

Thanks a lot!

I still plan to use MP-TV for Media Portal, but SickBeard provides the UI I want to use.

You can also sync follw.it if you prefer. This will give a webfront end to your tv series collection (amont many other things).
