[QUOTE="Lehmden, post: 1149391, member: 109222"] HI. The easy answer is: It is all the same "plugin", no matter if it comes to movies or series (or any other type of video like Anime, Documentary, MusicVideos,... anyone may add later to the program). That's how it is working if you look from the outside. An average user normally don't need to know more, but it can be helpful to know more a bit, even for an average user. Especially if it comes to fixing issues one may have... The complicated answer is: The Video section is split into many parts, many plugins that are all doing different things but all are working together to provide the functionality needed for a nice video database. Some examples and what those plugins are doing: There is the VideoMetadataExtractor that is called on every video file and collects informations about the video file itself like video codec, duration,... This is needed for series and movies too, so why developing or implementing it three times? Then there is the FanartHandler plugin that delivers fanart to a client. In fact there are 3 different FanartHandler plugins, one for general, basic purposes, one for Fanart stored locally near the video file and a third one specialised for downloaded fanart. Then there is the VideoThumbnalier plugin that is generating thumbnails for videos without any other fanart. There is the NfoMetadataExtractor that is collecting informations from a .nfo file if one is available near to the video. We have a NetworkNeighborhoodResourceProvider that is needed to access media files stored on another computer in the home network, and so on... The nfo support was added only a few month ago. Adding this plugin to the system improves the usability of the whole program only by adding this MDE. That's why the main components are split into such a lot of pieces... The type of plugin you may be familiar with from MP1 that provides a complete feature in one plugin (like MovingPictures or TVSeries) is existing in MP2 too. As example the OnlineVideos plugin (nearly a 1:1 port from the MP1 OnlineVideos plugin) or the Cinema Plugin. Both are adding an complete feature to MP2 and both are doing this (nearly) by themselves. This plugin type, also it is possible, is not too often done (or needed) in the MP2 world.. [/QUOTE]
