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.

    create NFOs for each file, make a cover
    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.

    Yes, unfortunately, this would need a code change to support it. Next time I'm doing something on the plugin I'll try and remember to add support for this sort order.
