[QUOTE="jedipunk, post: 139999, member: 48457"] I have been flipflopping between MediaPortal and BeyondMedia for a month or so looking only for a way to play my AVI movies. Personally, it is a toss up in all areas. I like BM's VideoLibrary plugin more than MP's Video and I alos feel it is faster when adding new movies (plus I can add new movies from the BM portal and have to use MP setup to add movies in MP as far as I can tell). Regardless the one thing that is killing me is music. BM has no problem getting my music info but MP hangs everytime I load My Music in the portal. I have prescanned (in setup) all the music and only use one dir+subdirs for my music on a NAS device. That worked fine. BUt in portal it hangs and for minutes never appears (if I decide to even wait). Right now this is the deal breaker. If I could get this to work I would be very happy). Does anyone have any advice? I have roughly 5300 songs. I have a total of about 9000 items (songs, folders, coveart, etc). I have not been able to test the music playing, obviously, so I would like to know if MP will shuffle all music and play while doing a slidshow of my pictures? Also, is it possible to add more videos via the MP portal or at least have new files in the directory appear and I hit F3 on those files to get the IMDB info?
