[QUOTE="Nosferax, post: 938710, member: 90549"] Hi! I'm building myself a new HTPC and I'm considering using Media Portal on it. I used MP years ago and I guess quite a lot have change :) . Until now, my old HTPC was mainly used to play DVD and BR rip and for that I used Media Browser in WMC. It was Ok but now I want a bit more from my HTPC especially on the music and internet side. So here is my questions: [LIST=1] [*]What is the recommended folder structure for movies. For example, in MB/WMC I have every movies in a folder by the name of the movie. Can I keep it that way or do I have to have the movie files all in the same folder? [*]Again, the same question but with TV series. Presently I have them in the following structure: E:\<series name>\<Season xx>\series-SxxExx-episode title.mkv. Is it the same with MP or should I use the following instead: E:\<series name\series-SxxExx-episode title.mkv? Or all the series and episode in a single folder? [*]For the music this time. I have my music collection in iTune compatible folder structure, which is: M:\Music\<artist>\<album>\song.<ext>. Is this a viable folder structure or should I let MP manage the song via their tag and have all of them in a single folder? And how is MP tag reading capability when it comes to Flac and AAC files? [*]Does MP, and more precisely Moving Picture or My Films extension support offline media, like DVD or BluRay that I own and don't want to rip? [/LIST] Thanks for those who will take the time to answer my noobish question. Alain [/QUOTE]
