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.

    Hi. I was probably being a bit fast and loose with my terminology. I meant "somewhere within the files that MP2 uses in its database". Anyway, I found a way to do this which was far from automated but relatively low effort. I found what looked like all the images (CD covers, DVD covers, backgrounds etc all lumped together in...

    I do not know why this xml was in my theme folders, it must have sneaked in some time ago (years?). I simply removed the file. The Latest Media Handler plugin seems to be working as expected. I've had no lock-ups.

When the list on the right is a list of episodes, the area in the middle contains the programme information for the episode that has the focus. In your screen shot, the list on the right is a list of folders. You could fill the area in the...
