After a very long gestation period I am pleased to announce the initial beta release of mvCentral.
This Plugin is an evolution of 'My Music Videos' by metalla_nz and is designed to catalog and display all your Music Videos, it is based around code from Moving Pictures and TvSeries and I would like to thank the developers for allowing use of their code. The Plugin uses last.fm as the primary and Discorgs as secondary source for matching, additional providers will be added in due course.
I am releasing this beta now as I require help in testing and in translation. The Plugin is in continuous development and I have not finished the user documentation, any questions I will try and answer here as quickly as possible.
When reporting issues please include full logs and screenshots if they will help - refer to How to Post Logs page for details on generating and uploading logs.
This release does not support the importing of DVDs, the importing of ISO images not fully impemented, they are on the roadmap.
The plugin is installed via the MPEI extenstion installer though is not yet part of the update system or present on the MediaPortal Plugin directory.

Some note on Filenames
The plugin will parse two formats
1.(Filename) <artist> - <track>.<ext>
A clean up on the filename will be run, replacements run first and then a regex parse so they dont have to be to clean. It is very important that the artist and track are sepereted with '-' (hypen).
2. (Folder layout) <basefolder>\<artist>\<album>\<track>.<ext>
In this mode the Artist and Album are parsed from the folders, the track will work best if it is just <track>.<ext> and not <Artist> - <Track>.<ext>
There are 3 settings that control this behaviour, the two options in 'Album Parsing'
Enable scraping of Album from Track dataThis option will attempt to retrive the album from the data returned on the track, this will be overidden by folder layout in the 2n option is enabled.
Use scraper found album instead of parsed oneThis option will force the scraped album to be used overriding the parsed album.
The 3rd option affecting album parsing is
Ignore folder structure when parsingThis option will ignore the folder structure and is useful if you store your videos in a genre folder structure like
<basefolder>\metal\english\Black Sabbath - Paranoid.mp4
