Hi all. Really nice plug-in, but to discovery it's functionality you need damn a lot of time. Even to find the last version! I know, it's always lack of time to write any docs. OK, just wondering maybe there are some thread about MyFilms in general? About Optional 1, 2 pages, about Logos and Fan-Art. I spent days, before I got that fan-art is backdrop pictures and it should be placed in Fan-art image path and called like Original or Translated Title. Jocking for sure, but docs or some infos would be great.

Try the Wiki first, it covers most of the functions.

    It's a helpful start, true, but the wiki has not been updated since version 3.1 (last edited 2008-07-21 20:23:36) so it's pretty out of date. Quite a lot is missing and some is no longer accurate.

    Where is the sticky post for 4.8.0. ? Which version of the dll should be used? The file in the repository is still the original (not a, b, or c version). Can't even find where I got 4.8.0c anymore! Where is the documentation for skinners? It's a fantastic plugin but I think most users don't realize its full potential since they can't easily figure out all the configuration options.

    That is exactly what I meant!

    Perhaps you can be more specific about which function you like to use, in any case, most of the instructions for Option page 1, 2, Logos and Fanarts can be found among the forum threads, yes it does take some searching and sleuthing to track down what you want to achieve. But big thanks to zebons for creating this wonderful plug-in for FREE.

    I've got some questions too.
    1) Is there any way to add DVDs directly from plugin, without going to Ant Movie Catalog?
    2) Is there any way to add TV Series (on DVD) not by a complete season, but by episode or by disc (MP-TVSeries does not recognise DVDs and I don't have space to store them on HDD) - so that i could find an episode and plugin just says which DVD i should insert.
    3)Everyting mentind must be automatic or 1-click.

    Based on what I know, I don't think any of the above is possible at this time... Except item 2 might be doable MANUALLY by editing the AMC catalog.

    @ Undel, you can add DVDs but not directly from the plugin. You have to specify the media in the Ant Identification Number field. This is documented in the Wiki and I think it is still valid in the latest version though I haven't tried it lately. This should work, as Jaz has suggested, for TV Series on DVD as well.

    z3us afaik the mpi in the repository is still 4.8.0 not 4.8.0c I'd also write a manual if I knew the plugin more thoroughly! If you are willing to write as much as you can I am willing to fix up your English!

    My comments re documentation are not a slight on Zebons, I love this plugin! But good documentation helps developers as much or more than it does users. Poor Zebons has to answer the same questions over and over in the forums and it isn't fair to him. If all of us who have used My Films for a while and know it well were to contribute to the Wiki (which is really easy to do), I am sure it would help him out a lot, and he deserves it!

    I still think there should be a sticky post for the latest version though!
