[QUOTE="JimmyBoy, post: 256644, member: 72806"] Hi, I am looking at using Media Portal and this is something that interests me as I too would want to do something similar. Now I havent even used Media Portal yet so I may be jumping the gun a bit so, correct me if ive gone way off-topic! It strikes me that it would be reasonablly easy for the developers to implement a solution directly into MP. Surely if you was just allowed to add directories to an internal list, and then MP would take the contents of said drive(s) and place them internally in it's database, and any search or other types of fuctions would reference the database so you would see all appropriate files (in appropriate sections, ie movies / music) displayed. For example, when setting up, you would enter a part of MP to specify directories, with an "Add" and "Remove" button. You could then specify for example : D:\Movies D:\Music E:\Movies F:\Movies G:\Music H:\Movies H:\Music Media Portal would then scan all these directories and import them into it's database which it then uses internally. You would also want some kind of "Watch" so that MP would scan these folders say every day / week / month, so that any new material added to the directories would be imported into MP's database. So you would goto "Movies" in MP and you would see all the material from D:, E:, F:, G: and H: displayed to you. This is what WinAMP does and I dont see why the same thing couldnt be done in MP. Sorry if I have totally missed the point! hehe Thanks [/QUOTE]
