First off -- let me just say WOW on media portal. I installed in last weekend and loved it. I will be transitioning my HPTC and from MyMovies on Vista to exclusively using MP. I am running a 7tb file server for dvd, mkv, and bluray content.
Question 1:
I currently have around 500 movies in the MyMovies database (added via their collection management software). I would like to be able to import these somehow but am willing to enter all my movies again if that is the best method for getting them in MP. I am also interested in using DVD Profiler if I can import from there into MP. I plan on using the View Type "Titles" because of how I have my movies distributed across my unRaid array.
Question 2:
In myMovies I use the "category" feature to label films as "Kids" so that my children can quickly look at only movies they are interested in. How can I accomplish this in MP? Can I add a new main menu item called "Kids" that maybe launches a seperate Videos section or something? Or maybe just blank out all Genres and manually add the 100 kids movies to a "kids" genre?
Question 3:
Being so new to MP, should I just use the built in "Videos" section or should I look at installing a plugin that was built for large movie collections? Maybe myFilms or something?
