Yeah, that's about what I have been doing, Basically change folders for home videos, misc videos, etc... through Myvideos
but it is computer like, not the feel of a Home Theater. (Love the software don't get my wrong):)
I was thinking if it could be in likeness of: Moving Pictures or MP-TVSeries.

But just a thought.(y)

    Can, create NFOs for each file, make a cover, and import into the database. The media portal can not come up with information about your home videos.

    FYI, this can be done with MKV-Buddy automatically. It generates poster and background from screenshots with custom design and .nfo files based on the folder (the folder- name is used as genre so you can prepare various different genres of "not categorized" videos at once) and the metadata of the videos. That's how I import my home videos into MP. A sample how this can look:
    Zwischenablage-2.jpg

    Ok, this is a look from MP2 but with Moving Pictures or MyVideos a similar result can be reached in MP1 too.

    My problem is that I would like to switch from Kodi to Mediaportal.

    The only changes I see are: Updated Marcel Groothuis version of the plugin to now support Media Portal 2.5 I can't say anything about the functionality of this plugin, I don't use TV Part, but if there are any changes that can be simply transferred, then I can try. But I can't give any guarantees.
