[QUOTE="gaiko, post: 339654, member: 85428"] I just started using Media Portal and am pretty impressed (*esepcially* with all the plugins available, that seems to be it's advantage over some other apps). I have found the file parsing to be a bit disappointing though, i have some pretty simply named files that it can't seem to figure out, especially when they have words like "DVD" or "XviD" or the date included. Pehaps it would be possible to give the option of adding words to ignore and to make it use the dates to *help* find the correct movie instead of confusing it. Another suggestion is for the files that MP couldn't figure out, i *do* like that it asks you to make sure (better than putting the wrong info) but i have a really slow connection so it took me a whole day of selecting a movie, waiting, selecting the right description, waiting, etc... perhaps there is a way to have it download all the possibilities, then give you the option of selecting the right ones, then downloading all of the right ones doing this in a que/batch type operation? Anyway, the mere fact that it parses the file names at all is increbiliy useful and very much appreciated! Cheers -Gaiko [/QUOTE]
