I have seen a few times around here people mentioning issues with loading a TV Series into Moving Pictures, or maybe a Music DVD. I think it's great that people are finding new uses for the plug-in and are able to use it in areas outside our originally intended scope.
I just wanted to make clear the current design goals of Moving Pictures though. From the start I have intended this plug-in to be a very focused application. I feel like one of the main advantages it has over tools like MyVideos is that MyVideos does not have the luxury of dealing exclusively with movie content. MyVideos needs to deal with music videos, and clips and maybe even TV episodes. Moving Pictures is not designed for these things. By design the plug-in is meant for Movies only. I am not saying that you can not or even should not use Moving Pictures for other types of Media, if you can get it to work I would encourage you to keep on. But please understand that, at least for the time being, Moving Pictures is not intended to be a full replacement for MyVideos, and our bug fixes and enhancements will be focused exclusively on movie content. Other types of media are just outside the scope of the plug-in right now.
If you have any questions, or want more clarification, fire away.
