[QUOTE="bearhntr, post: 860952, member: 117357"] Deda, Thank you for your response. I am completely confused by the remark you made: [COLOR=#3366ff]"What you used is what we called "Shared view" which is more or less file explorer. It can show metadata for movies but you need to dig it to a file lvl (only DVD folders are specially treated so there is no need to dig inside of them)."[/COLOR] Can you elaborate on this? I wanna make this HTPC the best and easiest to use - but was a little shocked when WMC7 displayed all the IMDB data that I pulled down using MediaCenter Master into the folders where the movie was stored. What is the purpose of having the MSSQL2008 installed and the IMDB pull function if the MP is not going to show it? I have tried all of the various views, and it still does the same thing - no metadata, and I still have to navigate to the folder (which is displaying the movie picture (either poster or DVD cover image) to the actual file and then choose it to get the movie to play. Is it possible to have the MKV, MP4 and MPG folders when I choose them display something other than the default MP ICON (image) - do each of those folders need some kind of FOLDER.JPG file as well? Is it preferred to put everything in one folder and do away with the sub-folders for each movie? Thanks for your assistance. Curtis [/QUOTE]
