    You need to scan your files, so that they are in the Music Database.
    Read the Sticky entry in this foruim section named "Guide to the music section of mediaportal".
    It explains everything that needs to be done.

    Then grab the "Global Music Search" plkugin from the "Plugin + Extensions".
    Once this is installed, the "Search" button from within the Music section allows to search your music library

    Well then use the Tracks view, which will list all tracks and then you can use the SMS style input to find something.
    But it won't be a search on any field. it'll just search on the beginning of the name.

    if you want something more, you need to use Global search

    Hi. I was probably being a bit fast and loose with my terminology. I meant "somewhere within the files that MP2 uses in its database". Anyway, I found a way to do this which was far from automated but relatively low effort. I found what looked like all the images (CD covers, DVD covers, backgrounds etc all lumped together in...

    Fixed, I think. Certainly the vintage MP2 installer that I was using no longer installs the LAV filters. I can only assume that these were never part of the install package itself, but rather downloaded during the install, and that link no longer exists. Shame that the installer doesn't indicate this. Last time when I installed the...
