[QUOTE="gxtracker, post: 274003, member: 14004"] Well, just as a point of reference for you, I have a folder D:\movies that stores all of my movies. In that folder, each movie is named "<movie> (<year>).avi" and saved as a single file. when performing an IMDB scan, the majority of the time its pretty accurate; out of over 100gb of movies, only 3 or 4 require manual correction. I have MyMovies setup to display the shares view, and simply list my movies in alphabetical order, but with the database shares, you could have them sorted by year, genre, etc... I dont download the actor info, since for the most part its irrelivent and and simply consumes way too much time during an IMDB scan. I know that some people store their movies in different ways, such as in subfolders for example, but if you rip your movies into single files, seperate folders shouldnt be required. I like the idea of a centralized database, since the TV server EPG is stored on the TV server. It would only be a natural progression to have the movies, pictures, music databases stored on the server as well. Right now though, there isnt any way built into MP that automate the process for you. you may have to use the XML and manual update (or scripted update) method for the time being. [/QUOTE]
