[QUOTE="pStar, post: 25215, member: 14359"] hi, like mediaportal very much and i want to help improving it. unfortunaltly i'm also not a coder and what i think may be terribly worng... ...but i think the easiest solution to this whole mediamanagement problems would be, to create a well layed-out database which holds every information about the available media in media portal. not only the movieinfo, but also the filepathUNC, filename, coverpath etc...(everything mediaportal needs) and to fill this database you could use a) the mediaPortal setup (which fills eg. only paths and filenames after the harddrivescan) - which would be the way for purists or b) let other freeware tools gather your mediainformations (like antmoviecatalog ;) ) and import those informations into the database with sqllite browser or the kind - this would be the way for people like me, who want nice covers, descriptions, castlist and with all the bells and whistles :D and the imdb-query in mediaportal would not be necessary. the database management could be done on a seperate office-pc, which is much more sophiticated for these kind of tasks than a htpc. regards [/QUOTE]
