Hi,

The question has been raised several times, but I have never found a sollution for the next issue:

When the DVD library has been enabled in Vista Media Centre I would like to sort my large ripped DVD collection on genre. For example that it would be organized in: Kids DVD's, Movie DVD's, Music DVD's, etc., instead of all DVD's right in your face ;-)

Since I have never find a way to do this I asume that this just ain't possible within VMC... or is there way to do this?

Please let me know, this is -for me- the biggest disadvantage compared to MCE2005....

Regards,

Not sure about the DVD Library but the My Movies plugin allows for sorting and custom filters. It is available at  http://www.mymovies.dk/home.aspx

Thanks for the answer.

I have checked my movies and it is great to manage your DVD collection... if you want to store every detail about a DVD.

However this program is giving me too much, I just want to sort my DVD's. Nothing more, nothing less :-)

 

you might be interested in the "New Video Browser Plugin" which is being actively developed

Thanks for the suggestion, but it only seems to support movies (not of the type DVD) and recordings... :-(

 

the plugin is under active development so you may be able to suggest the feature you need to the developer.

Hi,

I have found a (dumb) workaround that works fine for the moment: My DVD names start with a "TYPE" name in the titel, like:

"Music - Depeche Mode - Live In Milan"
"Music - NIN - Live Beside You"
"Movie - Dogma"
"Children - Bumba 1"
etc.

 

This way all my DVD's in the gallery are grouped and sorted. 

 

 

I have my dvd's sorted into different folders.  One main DVD folder with subfolders for different types.

How you have stored them on your harddisk is not how they are showed in the DVD library. (They are all shown in one window next to each other.)

 

 

Not sure if this will do what you need but, it's a plug in to setup the built in DVD library, and the writer has been updating it almost every few days...

I'd be interested in this type of thing too, to be able to sort by action or drama, etc. Here you can make that setting for type of movie....
