[QUOTE="gmeleski, post: 215204, member: 62387"] Hello, I'm not sure if I have placed this in the right place, but if any Admin would let me know I'll change it or you could kindly do it for me. Well, I honestly have been using XBMC as my media center, and of it works well. Over the course of this last weekend, I searched high and low for a decent Media Center Software other than Microsofts. I tested LOTS of them. The only one, too me, that was the best was Media Portal. In order to play High def stuff, I needed a "REAL" computer. My question is this: In XBMC we can have file conventions named as shown: (This is from my complete "Enterprise" collection on hard drive but others are arranged in a like manner) s01e03 - Fight Or Flight.avi s01e04 - Strange New World.avi s01e05 - Unexpected.avi s01e06 - Terra Nova.avi These are in a directory "Enterprise Season 1" In the "Movies" folder we can have: Directory >> Waitress >> waitress.avi I normally compress down to .avi using h.264 or xvid as it saves a ton of space and the results are perfectly adequate. What I do not understand about Media Portal is how it grabs info (or if it does) automatically and applies it to the database and then shows the thumb which it can get from TVDB.com or wherever. I know I can use "folder.jpg" but that is incredibly time consuming. Could anyone help me out here ? Thanks, Gary [/QUOTE]
