[QUOTE="Padraig, post: 1301092, member: 171906"] HI, I'm new to MediaPortal and have a question about searching for data. I have an extensive collection of music, films, and TV shows that I've collected over the years. I've ripped all of the CDs and DVDs and have a dedicated external hard drive hosting the collection (and two back-up drives, too). I frequently have movie nights here at my home and I want people who come for these to be able to search my collection, preferably using their phones, and find something to watch. Currently, we scroll through the folders on my smart TV and often spend more time trying to find something to watch than actually watching! I want a browser page with just simple search functions: Song Title, Film Title, Show Title, Artists, Actors, Director, Genre, which, ideally, would search across the music, film, and show collection so if someone searched for "Comedy", films like "Groundhog's Day" would appear, as well as TV shows like "Blackadder" and music like "Vaughn Meader - First Family". Maybe this won't work and I'll need Genre for each subhead of the database, I don't know. Anyhow, my question is if there is such a search page available in the plug-ins or wherever? Thanks for the help. Padraig [/QUOTE]
