If I want to change the My Movies metadata for a title, or correct an error originating from My Movies, where can I do this? Can I do it all directly on my HD200? Can I do it from my Mac or a web browser? For example, I do this via a web browser when using BMT - on my Mac. I was under the impression that interacting with the collection manager was something that could only be done on a Windows OS, per the installers I'm seeing on the My Movies site. Let me know if I'm wrong in this understanding please. Last edited by Tomahawk51; 08-04-2010 at 12:08 PM. |

OK, nice. Thanks for the clarification, that removes a significant barrier for my particular case.

Well, I LOVE the UI in SMM. Very nice work indeed Plucky.
BUT, the way I have my stuff setup, and the way I like to navigate, MyMovies, just doesn't do it for me. My system has always combined Movies and TV, in fact all video media, in the Video menu. As folders. I like it that way. So I can't see how to use SMM effectively. If it used BMT, I could probably use it. Am I seeing this all wrong? |

IMO, it seems like most of the arguments people are making against MM is that they are trying to shoehorn what it is into their particular circumstances.
Will/could it be expanded in the future, probably, as requests for features come in. But from reading the posts it just seems like people are trying to use the wrong tool for the job. |

So, I don't think you are seeing it wrong... your needs are just different. One of the great things about Sage... we both can have something that works well for us through the customisations available within Sage and from the great developers who share their work. |

Totally agree with the spirit of this last statement, but....
One minor point: we can't ALL have our own way since SMM is the only improved UI available in v7. And this is a great benefit to all that fit the My Movie paradigm well. The alternative, as I have seen it, is to use Phoenix Fanart...which doesn't really improve the UI in as dramatic a way. (If it brought in backgrounds...I think it would be "good enough" for many people.) But yes, the beauty of the community is that someone may indeed deliver the functionality apart from SMM someday.

Second, I like what you are doing with SMM. Calling it the best eye candy plugin was really a great compliment because it is visually stunning to see the wall of art covers of the entire movie library on the TV. But I can understand why the word "eye candy" can be interpreted as an insult in the sense that it's "all looks and no brains", and I assure you that wasn't my intention. My gripe with MyMovies was mostly because I didn't expect your plugin to require MyMovies, which is kinda ignorant on my part since it is called SageMyMovies. I thought it would be like SageMovieWall, but for v7, where it would just work with BMT. I said before in the SMM thread, that I understand why you went with MyMovies as it offers more features than BMT. I just thought it was a bit of a learning curve to get SMM working since MyMovies was required. And it didn't help that MyMovies didn't come with a manual or any help documentations. But for people who already have their entire movie library in MyMovies, having a plugin that interfaces it with SageTV must be a godsend. So anyway, keep up the hard work on whatever you are working on and thanks for sharing your fruits of labor with the community.

Many of us still think that SageMC is an improved UI and it is available in v7.

I started from scratch with MyMovies Collection Manager two weeks ago. I had it mastered in one afternoon and the rest of the time has been spent ripping my DVD's. Another afternoon when SageMM was released and I had that mastered as well.
Plucky's import combined with Collection Manager may not be your cup of tea but its not a great hurdle. S |

First of All the myMovies plugin is fantastic. Visually and navigation wise it is great. I only run SageTV HTPC Clients from a central server but the UI is lightning fast.
I can't say having two metadata tools is optimal but once I got MyMovies setup to monitor the folders automatically it is really fire and forget. I had never used My Movies before but I already maintained everything in the correct format to support XBMC and Boxee as well. I think the MyMovies required structure is fairly standard at this point and works well even without MyMovies. I really started playing with MyMovies about a month ago using Media Center and the Xbox360. (Brought back a lot of memories why I don't use MCE anymore.) The UI in Sage MyMovies is much better than the one in Media Center. That said it is not perfect. The big weakness seems to be with the TV and Mini Series management. It does just not support them very well. I could never figure out how to get something like "Band of Brothers" DVD collection to work very well. At this point I am in between deciding to use the Folder view withing the regular Video section or make them all into SageTV shows. (At this point I no longer have any real DVD Rips they are all broken out into separate episodes in folders by season). I have a seperate TV Shows folder that I just don't Map in MyMovies. This really is not anything new. I excluded TV shows from the old MovieWall plugin as well. (Nice option by the way) XBMC or Boxee don't do a better job either. I think it is just a complicated issue. I think you really need two different approaches to managing series as opposed to Movies. What I would like to see is the return of TV Explorer in v7. It would include imported TV series without having to make them SageTV recording and combined with MyMovies would be deliver everything I really need. Last edited by SWKerr; 08-04-2010 at 04:34 PM. |

Yeah I know Brian at mymovies is working on tv support and I believe already has users uploading tv fanart. Now how far away it is I have no idea. But I agree tv support is the on missing link for me in v7.
And to the original poster no offense taken sometimes I get gripey a bit before my morning doctor pepper. so sorry for my rant as well. |
