[QUOTE="Dadeo, post: 1018913, member: 27204"] Hi totopsgr - I have not actually done it, but MyFilms automatically generates a tmp XML file in AMC format. It should be located in the same folder where you store your Eax XML file - and named the same except for tmp in the filename, e.g. EAX3.xml > EAX3_tmp.xml. Try opening it in AMC 4.1.2 to see if all your data reads correctly in AMC. At least that much should be easy to test ;). You can check the MyFilms wiki page about [URL='http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/17_Extensions/3_Plugins/My_Films/21_Supported_Catalogs/Eax_Movie_Catalog']Eax[/URL] to see what fields are supported and how they are mapped to AMC in the tmp file. In particular if you use any fields not supported by MF, you might lose some data. IIRC Eax3 only saves the cover filename to XML, not the full path like Eax2 did. So if you want to move your XML db (tmp file above) to a different folder, I would recommend you copy your covers to a \pictures subfolder of the folder where you save the AMC catalog XML file. That way you can use the default settings for cover paths in MF setup. I would also recommend you copy your fanart to MF fanart folders (if you did not already add fanart via MF), or use the 'easy' way and just download fanart again for all your movies using MF GUI > Global Updates > Download fanart (all films). If all that works, you can just use the setup wizard in MyFilms to create a new config using AMC4 catalog type and point to the AMC XML file and start using it right away. So start with that and let's see how good the result is. If you run into issues, let me know and I might be able to come up with solutions for you. [/QUOTE]
