Hello

I am a new forum user on Mediaportal and a big fan of plugin MovingPictures The last's versions of MovingPictures are great but in my daily use, I have an little sugestions to say if them are possible of course. The first is every time i use the plugin configuration to add my movies, some times i need shearch a particular movie to change someting. Nothing special but when you have more than 1000 movies (just example) in your movie datebase is really boring searching one by one and if is possible add a little textbox to find a movie will be great Other thing is an option to automaticly export a movie info like background, cover, movieinfo.nfo etc... directly to the source of the movie.
Thanks a lot for this great plugin

Hi.

Other thing is an option to automaticly export a movie info like background, cover, movieinfo.nfo etc... directly to the source of the movie.

Search has been added in recent version of MovPic as well, which if memory serves me can be found under context menu (F9 on keyboard, or whatever remote control button you use for that).

And you could always do SMS-filtering to get to a movie as well, which is what I'm still used to as it's a hard habbit to beat once you remember what each remote number stands for letter wise (and it is printed above each number on my remote). Any part of a title with more then 4 letters in a word is very accurate and quick to filter down with.

So to find "John Carter" in thousands of movie, I just go 2+2+7+8+3+7 (to spell out CARTER), but after entering 2+2+7+8 the movie already shows in the visible filter list, so that up/down arrows can be used to select. Unless you have a remote with keyboard ability or a keyboard itself handy, then using a full QWERTY search on a regular remote control is extremly irritating and time consuming. I could find a movie faster via Page Up/Down then myself (which I've mapped to Channel +/- on my remote).

Of course to each their own, but that's the beauty of Moving Pictures, is that many ways to do the same are supported so you can pick the method that you prefer best, or if you have the C# knowledge; code it yourself
