[QUOTE="Rur, post: 171178, member: 54861"] Hi all, I'm new to media portal. After fiddling around with the options and reading the manual. I found that it is rather difficult to just open a video file. Every time I want to watch a file, I have to import it into the database through MP configuration. And if my file is not in IMDB, it won't even show up in the database. I have lots of family videos from camcorder that will never be in the IMDB, is there a way to just open them and not through the movie database import ? Or am I missing something ?
