[QUOTE="Wii60, post: 172953, member: 55155"] Hey, I just installed MediaPortal and I'm stuck on this minor point, but it will be a deal-breaker for me. My media is in many different formats, so I've always just thrown them at VLC, and it works fine. However, I now want a windows-like program to do this for me. I've converted this old machine into a media center and it works well. Media Portal itself seems to be unable to play all of my files, but VLC can, so I use the VLC plugin for everything. However, some of my files won't show up at all in the lists. VLC plays them fine, but it still won't show up in my directory on Media Portal. I need them to show up so that VLC can launch and play. Thoughts? Thanks.
