My Films 6.1 released!
(supports MediaPortal 1.6, 1.7 and 1.8 with .net 4.5)
Have you ever wished you could use your own database management software with MediaPortal? With MyFilms you can!
My Films combines the powerful features of movie catalog software with the superb media center features of MediaPortal. It incorporates many advanced movie catalog features into MediaPortal. Eight different movie catalog apps are supported out of the box. You do not need to re-scan your data and you can continue to use your current movie catalog app with My Films - or create a new one using the integrated AMC Updater (AMCU)
My Films offers many features not supported by other movie manager plugins, or even some movie catalogs!
What's New in My Films v 6.1 ?
Lots! 54 changes, including 34 new features! Far too many to list here!
There are major new features to display 'Online info' views (Popular, Now Playing etc) from TMDb website, several new trailers features, certification logos by country, auto scan/import movies, Box Sets/Groups/Collections management including downloading Collection covers from TMDb, Network Setup and a whole lot more!
For an overview of the major changes, See What's New > Version 6.1, or for a complete changelog see the MyFilms Issue Tracker.
The MyFilms wiki has also been updated with information on how to use all the new features!
Note: As a result of the skin changes (new skin xml required for downloading Collection covers from TMDb), the skin requires an update. If your skin has not been updated, the respective features won't be available.
Download (warning .net 4.5 required)
via MediaPortal Extensions repository, or MPEI (Extensions Installer)
Note: installer includes a new option to overwrite your MyFilmsLogos.xml config (to get new logos rules). If you do not use custom logos rules that you or your skin provides, please enable this option.

My Films offers many features not supported by other movie manager plugins, or even some movie catalogs!
- extended features for the popular Ant Movie Catalog (AMC) or for new catalogs created in My Films (AMC XML database format):
- update in real-time (since they both use the same XML database)
- update by field or multiple fields but never overwrite the data you wish to keep
- batch/global updates for some/all records by field, value, etc using AMC Updater
- built-in support for networks (centralized data, covers/posters, fanart and configs)
- multiple databases - as many as you wish for different types of videos such as documentaries, home videos or even to keep your kids videos separate if you prefer (you can switch database easily within My Films)
- multiple users - watched status, date watched user ratings (and thus favorites) are supported per user.
- multiple configs (like profiles) for the same database with different filters/settings for different users
- advanced search, sort, view or update by ANY field
- integration with Trakt, Sub-Central, Online Videos (Trailers), and Browse the Web (to view related web pages for movies, cast and crew)
