Hi ysmp,
If the MyFilms database is stored in a consistent location it would not be too hard to create a MyFilms scraper script right now I think. The scraper engine for Moving Pictures is capable of opening files on the local file system and parsing XML. The only problem would be the path the the My Films database. If this is different for many people it might be tricky. You should post this idea in the forum; I think our team would be happy to create such a script for you but we are pretty busy trying to get 1.0 as stable as possible right now so it might get delayed for a bit.
If you want to make a formal enhancement request, we will schedule it for the next major release (1.1).

I tried MoPics and found it very slow in comparison to MyFilms. If I had the choice, I would currently stay with myfilms - having centralized database, fast access, flexible search and configuration and easy scripting etc. all in place. I think for people starting from zero, MoPics is an impressive, easy and preferrable solution, for users not willing to deal with lot's of components (AMC-DB, myfilms-plugin & AMC-importer).
If zebons would have gone completely and someday myfilms would stop working, this would be a nice migrationpath for current myfilms users...

While I would love to see MF development continue (who knows?) I agree that MP would need an incredible amount of work to come close to the flexibility and usefulness of MF; my opinion of course.
+1 I really hope MyFilms continues - Zebons we still really need you!

Looks like there's some kind of error regarding translations that I can't pinpoint about Subcentral. You'll find it in the log file I attached to my previous message.

It may seem strange, but the open-source license allows anyone to sell physical CDs or DVDs to customers, provided that, for example, the source code is made available upon request and additional value is provided, such as an installation manual. Both of these are mentioned in the product description, so it appears to be legitimate...

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.

Thanks for the update on this. I should have searched before posting, always assume it is something I have done wrong.
