GDay All,

I would like to suggest the following:

1. A play button that invokes Windows Media Center instead of Windows Media Player, without changing filetype associations. Useful if you have a Media Center remote  ;D
2. A function that allows one to save all poster images to a designated folder, particularly useful when the images are stored within the database.

Cheers and season greetings to all.

Why don't you want add change file associations?

You can create an export template for this task.

Nostra, Simply because I use Media Player for watching video clips and I don't want those clips populating Media Center. I use Media Center for watching movies and it is controlled by my TV Card/Media Center Remote Control.

It's a file association issue, and should be resolved as such. If you can't find a way to restrict video clips to types associated with Media Player, you can add them to PVD using a particular playlist type and associate that playlist type with Media Player.

How can it be a file association issue when all the files have an .avi extension?

My .avi files are correctly associated with Media Player, however, if I choose to open an .avi file with Media Center, then that file is included within the Media Center database, which is fine as long as its a movie file and not a video clip.

The only distinction between a movie file and a video clip is the filename, not the extension.
