Scrapers to be able to find movie or TV Show information such as from IMDB.com, thetvdb.com or themoviedb.org allowing for better filtering of video files in your library Year, Actor,, Title and for some players even allow for listing of movie/TV Plots, Episode # and Name. Was used to this when using XBMC and was hoping you guys might be able to incorporate this into this already very cool app.

Thank you for the suggestion - we're certainly going to improve our processing of video files over time.

cool

What about adding something like File Stacking so when you have more then 1 file for a movie example: "Movie Name.CD1 and Movie Name.CD2" it will only show "Movie Name" ?

Not sure about that, frankly. Perhaps when we get to implementing playing DVDs as one file from a VIDEO_TS folder, that would be something similar. As far as the device is concerned, if we don't present the second file, it won't play it automatically and we can't force it to play, so we could only transcode those two files into one somehow and present that as one movie. It won't work without transcoding.
