[QUOTE="HappyTalk, post: 65606, member: 22671"] MyVideoLibrary is my name suggestion, no confusion on what it is. I'm a bit new to MP, I dl'd Ant set that up with 6 movies from disc_001 of my video library. Grabbed the MyDVD's plugin. I expected to somehow be able to select a file in mediaportal, be prompted insert disk 001 and then the relevent movie files(s) would be queued up and start playing. Looking at the ANT Db entries there doesn't seem to even be a field that holds eg the "m:\matrix.avi" path for the plugin to know where to look? I dropped the files on ant so it grabbed the file info (size, codecs etc) but nowhere is the actual movie filename stored? Anyway once I can get it working I'll write a script to create a suitable file to import into Ant (if not already done) from VideoMetaData in MythTV from which I am migrating and from there into MediaPortal. I achieved a similar functionality to this in myth myself using scripts I wrote. In that case, On import/creation of the library it just prompted to insert disk after disk and grabbed the required info/covers from imdb into the myth database fast and en masse. On playback it requested disk number xxxx and then played the file(s). I'm trying to achieve similar in MP. I saw another plugin - MyFilms, I'm wondering which is best suited to the task in hand?
