MCE Users: What Plug-In For Organising Video Files (Movies & TV Shows)?

    So, as the title suggests... ;)

    I tried out "My Movies", but it took a guess at the files' titles, details, etc. which I had on my machine and they were so *monumentally* incorrect that it would be MORE effort to remove them all. However, I did like the general interface of the plug-in, the list of actors, synopsis, etc.

    I've quite a fair few movies and TV shows (separated by folder, by and large) and would like if there was a nice plug-in for them all. Obviously, I can't expect it to do everything for me, so I expect a little bit of editing is ahead of me.

    What do you guys use?

    Cheers!

    I'm not sure how My Movies doesn't suit? I know if you just use it in MCE and ask it to scan then the titles are incorrect most of the time.

    However if you go into Windows proper and start the program you can edit any DVD with the correct information?

    Perhaps I'm naming the filenames incorrectly or something, but I'll try that out. As for TV shows (which I watch a lot of), do you happen to know if My Movies' DB supports them by default? Or am I barking up the wrong tree?

    Well it's more for DVDs. So I'd have say 7 seasons of Deep Space Nine and find My Movies handy for creating a box set group called DS9. Then I can have the various seasons attached to that group. So when I browse in MCE I can click DS9 main folder then just see the 7 seasons.

    If the TV shows are Divx are something I haven't tried that with My Movies. I'm happy enough with Videos section in MCE for them.
