I am trying to configure my 400 DVD movie collection for MP. I am interested in using the DB with it I can create views etc. Though I am having a fairly large range of issues that seem to be fairly simple, resolution of any of these would save me a TON of time manually editing the DB not only now but if I ever have to rebuild.

The imdb importer overrides these covers when I try and use any view based on the DB... It would be nice if IMDB importer just used the folder.jpg file for covers it it was present and download covers if it was not. [B]2.

Or a way for views to ignore these and order titles alphabetically without them? I would bet I have 60 movies that start with "The", this is a ton of manually editing, especially for a feature that is included in the Music database but seems to be missing from Movies... [B]3. Views[/B] - The music db has the ability to group items and thus create a alphanumeric menu (list titles that start with A, B, C etc). The operator field in the Music views for this is "Group", this operator seems to be missing from Videos. Is there a way to create an alphanumeric menu for videos? Thank you much:thx: [/QUOTE]
