I'm testing out XMM 8.5.7.0 free version and considering buying it, but I wanted to confirm one feature. I've imported my movie list via text file. How do I "Update Movie", the green flashing button on the right, for more than one movie at a time? If I select a list of say 10 movies, it will only do 1 movie at a time. With 2000 movies to consider, there's no way I can do that. Will the paid version allow the program to "Update Movie" for more than 1 movie at a time?

| I figured out. If you right click you select all then update all. So far, so good. |

I've been playing with the program and have a few more questions. Hopefully they can be answered. XMM seems really nice!
1. Boxset doesn't seem to be working. Is this turned off in the trial version?
2. Can I launch PowerDVD or other movie program from XMM?
3. Are the Genre's updated in the background?
4. What is a NMT?
5. What is the recommended media center for Windows 10 such as MediaPortal with MyFilms plugin to use with XMM? I don't want a PVR, just the ability to browse the ripped movies I have and launch them with PowerDVD or similar program. I have used SageTV in the past as a PVR, but that was a lot of work. I don't mind paying for a program if once it's setup, it is maintenance free. I don't want to have to continually screw around with it.

Hi Tim!
A lot of questions at one time  . Let me try to answer as far as I know...
1. No, there is only the limitation of 50 movies to add in the trial version.
You have to add a boxset manually (Menu ribbon: Add Movie -> Add Boxset) and then you can select the movies you wanna add to that boxset.
2. As far as I know the standard media player set up in Windows is automatically taken. But I never have played a movie out of XMM...
3. The Genres are updated like any other information from the internet. Of course it's depending on the script you are using.
4. http://www.networkedmediatank.com/
5. I don't know as I don't stream movies. Beside that I don't use Windows 10. |
