Re: Blog comes later, pics says more than words

Just working on it . GIT is something new to me so need a little time to make it proper and not to commit to master

Added source in GIT. You can find it in MP1-EXP_MyVideos branch. Added 3rdParty folder where is unofficial Fanart handler dll which supports new stuff. Good luck and do not try on live system (even I use it ). Also need to write some documentation about changes, where to find it etc... But it will be easy to see, just look in menus or context menus and Win MP Configuration.

PS. It's without BluRay support currently but all the rest are inside + changed skin files (DefaultWide only - pretty raw but usable )

Added installer link here : https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/...-rework-mediaportal-1-3-0-a-97254/#post768649

Still in progress, changed skin files are only for Default_Wide.

Added new installer with latest version on first page 2nd post (new skin files, more bugs killed, some goodies in MovieInfo screen...)

Hey I'm looking forward to this. I'll try it as soon as possible.
Again some new alternative to the movie plugins. For me the old one lacked some features which I really use like trailers and "search by actor" but I think it could do a fancy job in the future.

Greated plus would be to support import AND EXPORT for XBMC nfo files so everyone could rebuild his / her database in a few seconds after a new installation or something like that.

This is a good solution !! i use only My videos in share views ! and it's cool to use directly .nfo with share views without import video on database !

I also think that this would be great.
I tested really much with MyFilms, MovingPictures and with XBMC and I found out that the most intuitive and easiest method is the use of nfo together with fanart.jpg and folder.jpg and an actors folder like in XBMC. It has so many advantages.

- You don't have to use a database which is lying in one specific folder and so this hasn't to be reachable.
- You only need to import the data once even if your whole OS crashes or your MediaPortal has to be reinstalled.
- You are able to also use other programs like XBMC , Windows Media Center or something else. Many programs support it
- You are able to take your video file folder to a friend and he directly also has the imported data together with the video (!)
- It's regardless which database is used by the plugin or software you are using as long as it understands nfo.
- Databases are only needed for speed purposes and for sql but not for central holding of data
- ...

The only way this will get into the next release is if people test it.

Only if is based on MePo 1.2.2 for use on my htpc

I think that all of the 1.2.2 fixes are in there (even though the version number will be 1.2.0).

However, you will have to use the default skin I think because of the changes.

The bottom line is that this is up to the community. With the number of things needing testing, and the number of 'official' testers, we are asking for your help. There really is no point in you telling us how great this looks and how much you are looking forward to it being an official part of MP. Without testing my the community, it simply won't happen.

Deda has put a huge amount of work into this. Please make it worthwhile by testing.
