[QUOTE="zebons, post: 148456, member: 18292"] The two plugins are based concepts differents : MP scans HD and amovibles Drives to find movies and display only those. MyFilms is based on a movie collection database and all movies aren't presents on HD at any time. When you want to launch a movie which isn't stored on HD, it asked and prompted you usefull information (that you have to define) to mount the right support.... Here a list of some discrepencies : 1. MP display only movies stored on HD or present on amovible Drives with standard MyVideos. It doesn't manage a collection of movies stored on differents supports (CD, DVD..). in another hand, you have to enter new movies in your AMC database to see it with MyFilms :-(( 2. You cann't display informations (like synopsis) to choose the movie you want to see before launching it. You only have OSD informations after launching the movie 3. as it's not a movie collection, you cann't manage borrowers to know who have the movie you want to watch ! But no matter in MyVideos because thoses movies aren't displayed.. 4. My Films is more customizable, you can define your own views, add some specifics items that you want to see... 5. With MyFilms you van define specifics views by theme. So you can define a specific view for your childrens and protect by password a specific collection that you donn't want yhey watch (hards movies....) 6. as MyFilms is based on an external free software (ANT Movie Catalog) and because that software enable you to choose the IMDB server for movies informations, you can choose the best site for your needing. There is a lot of movie site proposes and ANT Scripts are always updated by users if sites changed. It's hardcoded in MP so evolutions are more difficult and you cann't choose the site in MP (IMDB or FRDB..). 7. Scan informations in MP is very very slow and you cann't change wrong informations (you have to go in serup Movie databse to do so... With MyFilms, you can change all informations in AMC and some in MP (rating, borrower, ... and other you choose with settings) 8. an advantage for MyVideos : it's integrated to MP Core so evolutions are always made with new versions. MyFilms is an external plugin so adaptations can take a little delay...but SVNs help us to anticipate that problem 9. as MP scan directories, all movie file present her are displayed even if you don't want so you have to organize your storage with that point. 10.

With AMC, filename is only an attribute, you give the real name of the movie and if more than one movie is founf by scripts, you choose the good one. You cann't do it with MP. So you can have wrong informations in your MP database. In defavor of MyFilms : 1. You have to manage your database with an external software 2. Movies not added to your AMC DB are not visible in MP 3. setup of MyFilms a little bit complexe to understand all possibilities 4. plugin not integrated in the MP's Core 5. less skins as only 4 skins are already maintained (you can try to put BlueTwo files in another skin, it sometimes work) I hope that help you...
