I come from the myhtpc world. One thing I really like is the Media module with .my files. What is great about the .my file (against a simple folder scan), is that you can, in the movie presentation page, put your comments on the movie or IMDB info, the release type (ok this can be done integrating a program like GSpot), the quality.. etc. One example : with this you can differentiate DVD-rip from TV-rip, PDTV etc.. (ok, this can be done with a proper naming of file).
With software like Antmovie Catalog http://www.antp.be/software/moviecatalog, it's easy to create .my files using IMDB to get proper information.
Another advantage of a catalog is the possibility to keep tracks of burned CDs and DVDs. In the presentation page of the movie you can get the location of the CD (if you have organized your collection
, just insert and make it play the movie (in myhtpc it's done with the My OMP plugin)
Reading the todo, I understand there will be a database, cool.
