[QUOTE="Lehmden, post: 1160825, member: 109222"] Hi. A [B]M[/B]edia[B]I[/B]tem is any kind of media. As example we will use a video file here but it also can be an audio file or an image or a game or whatever else may be useful... Such a video has lots of "properties" like duration, name, codec, size and also lots of "virtual" properties (aka metadata) like IMDB ID number, director, fanart,... Al those properties are called [B]A[/B]spects of this MediaItem. So voilà, here is the "[B]MIA[/B]". Before the often named MIA Rework every Media Item only can have a single Aspect of one kind. And it was not possible to have "virtual" MediaItems like e.g. "Series", "Season" or an Audio "Album". All information about a series or an album used up to now is stored as an aspect of the series episode or the audio track. So it's hard to show information for series or audio albums at all. Or you can not stack multi part videos into a single movie (Cd1, CD2,...). With the MIA Rework this limitations will be gone what gives us many new opportunities to store and present data in our ML ([B]M[/B]edia [B]L[/B]ibrary). Something long time users of MP2 are desperately waiting for this to be included. [/QUOTE]
