    I fought putting My Movies on my PC but I am glad that I did. It is a great tool for tracking and sorting your titles and it provides a very convenient GUI in VMC and on my extender for searching for a video in any number of ways....plus you get the cove art, the movies plot line and so on. I am not into eye candy but My Movies provides very useful stuff.

    I know I've resurrected a really old thread... but I was curious. I have installed the MyMovies 3 Collection Management component on my office machine (Vista) where I do all my ripping/conversion work. When I end-up with the resulting movie file, I push that over to my Media Center/Media Server machine (Windows 7), which I have monitored by the Collection Management component. MyMovies automatically adds the new movies, generates the covers/synopsis info... all is well. However, I don't ever see the movie details on the extender. I know that MyMovies uses it's own .xml in each movie's directory, and I'm aware that Vista Media Center uses the "moviename.dvdid.xml"... is there a way to get the details shown on my extender? ( do see that the dvdid.xml files point to a "MM*****' for the disk ID).

    I appreciate any assistance anyone may offer.

    I use a symlink in the roaming directory for the extender pointing to the main user's DvdInfoCache.

    I'll start a new thread on creating symbolic links...
