[QUOTE="AZMedia, post: 999227, member: 141619"] Hi All, When my family discovered an easy way to create "playlists" using PowerDVD, they all stopped using MediaBrowser, over a year ago. MB became frustrating for them and for me to keep up with fixes. However, I never stopped collecting and correcting all metadata, images, and 1080p trailers. I also use Media Center Master. We have an exceptionally clean database of movies and TV shows (artwork, trailers, actor images, metadata, etc). [B]GENERAL QUESTIONS:[/B] [LIST=1] [*]Will we be able to use our existing backdrops, actor images, trailers, and XML metadata? (I can use software to rename files as needed). [*]Can I continue to collect the above type information and keep it as part of our collection. We would like to keep the movie info within that movies folder...futureproof our collection against apps. [/LIST] [B]HOT QUESTIONS:[/B] [LIST=1] [*]We might have a few 1080p files in a movies "Trailers" folder (trailer, trailer1, trailer2...). Can MP play all of them or must you have only one trailer file? [*]Each individual movies folder has multiple backdrop images. These would rotate after a few seconds on the movie details screen. Does MP do similar...can use multiple backdrops? [*]Can you create playlists? Ex: Play the last 4 episodes of "Justified", 3 episodes of True Blood, Avatar movie, 6 episodes of Sons of Anarchy? Does it save the playlist, come back in a couple days to finish the sequence of shows? [/LIST] Anything else we should know to convert our folders/data for use with MP? We have all new hardware, gig network, AC band wireless, 10-bay Synology NAS, and using Win 7 (64). Thanks for the patience. I have read nothing but great things about MediaPortal. [/QUOTE]
