Movie Database (1 Viewer)

MP does read iso in the My Videos module. TV Series, though, is a plugin, so can have different rules. It's supposed to work with ISOs, but that functionality is currently broken. Plus, you'd still want one ISO per episode, rather than disk.

MP

ok thanks for that is there anyway i can put my own thumbs in the movie folder and get it to display on MP as imdb is very finicky. thanks

You can go to MP Config->Movies->Movie Database, Editor tab. Then you can edit (or manually add) your movie information including thumbs. It's the slow way to do it, but I manually add all my movies so they are shown just how I want them, using the titles and thumbs I want instead of the imdb data.

Actually, see this thread that discusses using image files in your movie folder for DVD cover art:
https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/newcomers-forum-240/question-about-dvd-cover-art-48179/#post326761

Note that this indicates it's moviename.jpg (or maybe moviefilename.jpg) and NOT folder.jpg.


A quick search of the forum find lots of hits on "movie collector" but it seems to work my plugins like My Films rather than the My Videos module.

ill read that I have had a look at my tv plugin and its a little to technical for me it reads and analyses the files and some of mine are iso series and not individual episode, is there any way I can get the program to read just the initial folder and download info from that on mytv and my films i am not up with this parsing it looks hi tech, my series would be filed as A:/British comedy/Allo Allo for eg

can i get it to just read info ALLO ALLO only and download content based on that info, as I know where my series are and dont need each one identified just the actual show? regards Wayne.

or can I downlod and do it individually.
