[QUOTE="MariachiElf, post: 54704, member: 20753"] While I know there has been much debate surrounding the databases I really believe they are critical to the long term usability of MP. Beyond that, I'm can see the current database structure is going to be unwieldly to fully implement the features I'm building. I have no experience with Meedio and with only 20 votes (albeit most for yes) in a thread whose title isn't about acutally implementing it, I'm going to be starting a new thread with the words "Master Media Database" in the subject geared more towrds the work I'm actually going to be doing which is about creating one central master tracking and search database to index all the other databases and normalize the identities of media in the other database. That said, some of the features you've described are certainly worth implementing if someone has the vision and desire to do so. I think what makes the ideas presented here difficult for devs to envision in MP is the current DB structure is not centralized, there are many "silos" of media databases that are each tied to their own Plugins. This is good because developers of those plugins can have authority over their silos, but bad because the end user experience is very disjointed across different media types. Hopefully folks who have posted here can also weigh in on the new thread with some features you'd like to ensure are easy to enable/implement so they can be kept in mind during the design discussion.
