[QUOTE="eventone, post: 139426, member: 46567"] I have tried to tackle this problem in a different way, and it worked quite well for a while. I usually name my dvd's as "series S1 D1" with S being season and D being dvd/disc, whatever. I parsed each of my dvd's containing avi files through the plugin in manual mode. Then, using the manual edit mode, I changed the "DVD_DiscID" field (or something like that) to contain "S1 D1". Then I changed the display settings so that this field was shown in the bar along with the title. This way I always knew that episode 1x23 was on disk "S1 D2", for instance. In fact, since it shows up on the list, I could easily put in the matching disc when browsing through it. When I hit play, if the right disc was inside, it would play directly. This worked perfectly... until the next major online update took place... and all my DVD_DiscID fields were blanked (cause that's they way they're shown online)... after going through my 400 episodes stored on disc... lol Anyway, my bottom line is: could it be possible to just add a "label" field to each episode entry on the database? This field could then be displayed in the list as any other field. I wouldn't mind filling that field manually. I'd be using it like that now with DiscID if it didn't get blanked with each update... Or could you just disable the update of DiscID field so I could keep my custom data? In the future, and I don't even know how hard or easy this is, couldn't the database just store the dvd label automatically in that field? [/QUOTE]
