[QUOTE="fforde, post: 545708, member: 52082"] I will let others speak for themselves, but I started the Moving Pictures project because: 1) The data importers in MyVideos were not very accurate. 2) The data importers in MyVideos did not always provide complete information. 3) The UI for managing my collection in the config screen was very slow and non-intuitive. 4) The UI in MediaPortal itself supported [I]too many[/I] media types (movies, tv shows, video clips, music videos, etc). This in my opinion created a less focused and therefore inferior interface. Item #4 above is the main reason I chose to create Moving Pictures rather than contribute to MediaPortal and MyVideos. The focus of MyVideos is just too broad for me. I use MPTV-Series for my TV shows and I needed a separate (but similar) view for my movies. MyVideos did not provide this, it was too generalized and generic to suit my needs. Hence, the creation of Moving Pictures. [/QUOTE]
