[QUOTE="fforde, post: 154795, member: 52082"] Hrmm, I think it really depends on what you want to use MyFilms for. As a plugin to cataloge an external DVD collection, MyFilms is a great plugin, but as a plugin to manage locally stored movies, it is very crippled. When it comes to managing local media files the user should have to do very little if anything to add a new movie to the database. It should be as simple as dropping a new video file in your movie folder and opening up Media Portal. At this point all the movie's metadata should automatically be retrieved from the internet database of the users choice. Unfortunately it is not as easy as this. I think the real problem comes from MyFilms being different things to different people. I know I am new around here so my opinion may not carry much weight, but I think MyMovies could gain quite a bit by borrowing code from the MyFilms project. I am not sure if they should be completely merged together or not, but there is definitely a lot of overlap between the two plugins. I would really like to see MyFilms turn into something more dedicated to offline media with MyMovies for online stuff. And sharing the same interface here makes a lot of sense to me! [/QUOTE]
