[QUOTE="fforde, post: 301571, member: 52082"] I don't understand your distinction. My goal for Moving Pictures is to be the MPTV-Series of movies. Why is MPTV-Series allowed to ignore unmatched files, but Moving Pictures is not? But Moving Pictures is not designed or intended to manage home videos. It's not designed to manage music videos either, or TV Shows. It's designed to handle movies. We will be implementing a "custom movie" option because online matching will never be perfect, and some people just don't want to connect to and update movie-xml.com. Don't misinterpret this as an intention to create a general purpose video manager though. Because that's not what Moving Pictures is. You could just as easily ask for "home video support" in MPTV-Series, and who knows maybe it will get implemented eventually. It still would be a tacked on feature though. The purpose of that plug-in is to manage TV-Shows, not home videos. What you are describing is MyVideos. Or maybe a slightly enhanced version of it. The main reason I chose to create a new plug-in rather than help enhance MyVideos was because I didn't feel like the focus of the plug-in allowed for a highly specialized movie management experience. It is a great tool, but I think it would be difficult to provide the kind of interface Moving Picture already provides, while still supporting all these other video types. So I guess my point is Moving Pictures is not intended to be a MyVideo replacement. It's a movie manager, not a video files manager. The differences are subtle, but those are the reasons I started working on this plug-in in the first place. [/QUOTE]
