[QUOTE="cyberfix, post: 192047, member: 29304"] I do not seem to find many answers or much help on here for DVD Profiler. I like using it and paid for it, so I do not want to switch to another program. I would rather use MP with the minimum amount of plugins. That is what I am doing with the help of these programs. It still has some issues to work out, but for the most part I am happy. Yes, I corrected it in the main post. MyMovies Assistant was inititally developed for the MCE MyMovies plugin. It ended up being useful to work with My Videos and the custom configuration.exe on here. That is correct. MP Configuration is tied to the configuration.exe in the Team-MediaPortal install folder. Once again, you are correct about the "Reset Database" button. It will clear out your database and let you start with a blank one. I am attaching a couple screenshots so that you can see the options. You select the "DVD Profiler Options" button. It wll show a couple more options. "Use Sort Title" will use the sort title instead of the regular title (E.g. "X-files" instead of "The X-files"). "Copy Images" will copy the dvd cover from DVD Profiler to the MediaPortal folder. The images look awesome doing this (as long as there is an image present in the DVD Profiler movie). Once you are in MediaPortal, go to My Video and the click on "Switch View". Make sure you select Titles and not Shares to see the database movies. It will not play if the path information is not present in your DVD Profiler XML file. This is where MyMovies Assistant can help. Switch View -> Titles (Will not show in shares view)(needs path in DVD Profiler XML file in notes section to play movie). Use MyMovies Assistant to get them there or enter them in the notes section of each movie in DVD Profiler. It requires the directory to the movie folder in quotes. Such as "R:\movies1\South Park - Season 1\Episode 1 - Cartman" and then the next Episode folder would be on the next line (hit enter). You do not put the movie filename. MyMovies Assistant tries to automate a ot of this process. Those checkboxes are to be selected before the import depending on whether or not you want the images copied and the sort title used. You must select the DVD Profiler Options box, though. If you are getting a choose directory dialog, it is because it could not find where your DVD Profiler image files were located. Just select the folder that contains the images and clock OK or open. Hopefully this will work for you. If you end up getting MesFilms or something else to work, please respond with you findings. I with they would include better My Videos in the core product. If you have a season disc like South Park, I have a patched filestack dialog in the original post now. It will show the name of the disc your selecting. Before it did not show anything. cyberfix [/QUOTE]
