Development / PVD In MediaPortal with My Films plugin
« on: October 01, 2011, 10:34:52 am »
A new version of the MediaPortal plugin My Films v5.1 has been released. It now includes PVD as one of the supported formats.  ;D

You can read all about My Films in the Blog: http://www.team-mediaportal.com/team-blog/my-films-5-the-future-is-here

If you use MediaPortal:
1. Install My Films
2. Export your PVD catalog to XML
3. In My Films setup/config, run the setup wizard - point to you exported PVD XML file

That's it!  Most of the options are preset for you so you can display all your PVD catalog and artwork in MediaPortal in minutes.

There is an extensive Wiki for My Films, including how to setup MediaPortal if you have never used it before, and any special options for PVD: http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/17_Extensions/3_Plugins/My_Films

Support / Scan folders/file scanner confusion
« on: June 10, 2008, 04:13:39 pm »
I admit I am new to the program, but I am at a loss how to use the Scan folder/file function properly.

In the case of TV Series, sometimes the scanner puts all the file paths for all the episode files into the file path field for the existing Series record instead of putting one file path in each episode record.  Is that what it is supposed to do?  Sometimes it puts them in separate records for each Episode but then it does not group them by series! The only thing I can see is that it depends on how the files are named. If the filenames do not have spaces, they seem to all go in the one record (and it takes forever!). If they have spaces, then they go in separate records, but never in episode records (this is much faster)!

In the case of Movies with more than one file, it tries to create a separate movie record for each file, instead of putting both files in the File Path. Again this may be because there are spaces in the filename.  I don't know!

Please help!
