    Is this mod compatible with the StreamedMP skin (w.TV series & Moving Pictures plugins)? Or is it obsolete if you have those, maybe?
    For the pure movie collection experience, I think Moving Pictures is outstanding. I also use the Moving Pictures plugin because of its superior autoupdate feature including the backdrop download.

    This mod is mainly for those who use MyVideos because there are a lot of 'undefined' videos like homemade videos and internet movieclip that cant be cathegorised, but also gives a better usability even for the real movie collection. I like the control browsing gives, when you can separate HD-movies in one folder and xvid in another and know the difference. Moving Pictures will soon (I think) support logos and filtering to separate movies from each other but are not there just yet.

    bla.bla.2008.PAL.DVDr-PaTHe
    bla.bla.2006.MULTiSUBS.PROPER.PAL.DVDR-NORDiQ

    So instead of write down all the group names in the "ignore" list, it would be easier to have an option to ignore everything from "-", so "bla.bla.2008.PAL.DVDr-PaTHe" would be "bla.bla.2008.PAL.DVDr" after that option been done.

    Or maby it would be easier to ignore everything from the movie year? "bla.bla.2008.PAL.DVDr-PaTHe" would be "bla.bla."
    Interesting, never noticed that the release group always is after '-', but I just checked my movie collection (the files only, not folder name) and noticed that almost every xvid file follows this pattern but several dvd-images, .img and.iso, has the release name first before the '-', like group-movie.xvid.bla.bla.img.

    It seems like this could get confusing if there is a mix. Perhaps an option to remove all after the year. Nothing of this is too hard to implement, just like to know that it makes a difference.

    What do you think?

    Are you saying there is a plugin that can add movie info automatically by scanning your drives for dir names? :eek:

    Looking at StreamedMP skin i see no option to scan for movies?? :mad:

    I just found this after hours and hours of searching...

    moving-pictures - Google Code

    It does exactly what i need. It scans a dir and finds most logical matches no matter what file name is in the subdirs.

    Then downloads info automatically. For me it got 80/80 movies right. All happened in 2-3 clicks.

    I want to donate to this, saved my day.

    I don't organise my media in the way that you do, so I don't know whether MediaPortal provides the capability that you want. All that I can suggest is that you read this page in the MP Wiki and experiment to see if it will merge the separate folders to give you a unified view of the media. -- from CyberSimian in the UK
