[QUOTE="piranha, post: 301544, member: 15076"] Well, I am not sure what is your "big plan" about implementation of it, I can only see what we currently have and suggest a way of solving it. Currently it is even worse than my videos - if it ain't in the db, you can't access it. Shares view is stupid idea, but that was solution of my videos. As long you let the user see or interact via MP gui with any supported video file in the defined directories, it is fine. TV Series doesn't have to deal with series that are not in the db, Moving Pictures will have to. I see no reason why I should not be able to see my home videos that I have done with my camcorder using the plugin. Obviously there is no info about it on any db, and maybe (but not necessarily) I will not want to provide info for it manually. That's why I always think about having a base db of the video's, and then you have additional layer of enhancing those videos with additional information. Additional information in case of normal movies will be movie info from imdb or other scraper, then it will be a backdrop or coverart. But the user should not be required to have that info to see the video. Two things you can always provide about the file is filename and screencap. Then user may attach categories (attributes to filter them by), or more detailed info from scrapers and/or media providers. That keeps the architecture open and expandable in the future. [/QUOTE]
