[QUOTE="JimCatMP, post: 926040, member: 103549"] Hi To do what you want (which is perfectly possible) in MovingPictures. In config GUI, tick 'organise movies by categories' and drop into Define Movie Categories. In editor, click + and add Dynamic Menu Item, type is Media Label, set as Top Level, then rename accordingly - is SciFi. Now you can add level below, same process, so you get SciFi -> Marvel. Now add level in Marvel as above SciFi->Marvel->X-Men, then IronMan, etc etc.... Continue until you've built your structure, adding kids are new top level, then sub level(s) as needed. Now the hard part - creating the filters for each group - the filters are created at bottom level. Using mix of rules (Full Path contains and Fill Path Does Not contain are most powerful in your set up) plus explicit include/exclude of single movies should give you what you want. You can (close MePO 1st) copy the database [c:/ProgramData/Team MediaPortal/Mediaportal/database/movingpictures.db] to new machine. You MUST also copy the thumbs/MovingPictures directory as well, as you may have images, but the files names are in the DB structure, and you cannot assume naming will carry between systems.
