map different folders into one "movie folder" (1 Viewer)

This has been discussed in so many threads, so I dont think there will be a built in solution in MP1.
It is a lack of functionality here, I agree. I also wish that MP could concatenate folders in shared view.
The title view is no good if you have many "undefined movies" that wont be found when scanning IMDB for titles.

As far as MyTVseries is concerned, it actually uses the same technique as title-view in MyVideos. If it does not find correct info it will not show any tv shows, othervise it shows them in the desired and organized way.

Why not? If you don't have raid and have multiple disks, you wind up with your movies spread across more than one share or disk.

LVM, Junction points, Windows Disk Management - all are solutions to the problem that dont require RAID - and all are solutions that exist at the OS level, not the software level. MP should be responsible for how you view and sort your media, but not how you organize the physical files on your computer system.

It shouldn't be so hard to implement it in MyMovies (for someone who knows what he's doing).

It has nothing to do with how hard it is to implement - It's about adding features that dont need to be added. This is a problem that can be fixed within the OS itself. You dont need to modify the program to get this working. Why would you? Why add in features that only a tiny handful of people will actually make use of, and confuse the rest who are new to the software?

Keep it simple. Let MP sort and display your content, and let the OS store and organize it.

Seeing how many people regard this as a problem I wouldn't say a tiny handful of people will make use of it. The juntion people refers to works nice, but ONLY if you have the files locally. I you stream content over a network, the junctioned folders are not readable to the client PC. The database is okay, but it takes a lot of maintenance. The main problem I have with it, is that it add's files to the database, but doesn't remove them if they aren't removed from the mp gui and that it changes titles and covers every time you update. I have quite a lot of anime, and IMDB shows the japanese titles ... not handy. If the wrong cover is loaded, and I fix it manually (which happens a lot) and I update the db again, even if I set the skip files already in database, it still loads the wrong pictures and/or titles.
