What do you find "quirky"? I believe you can specify what you want to use as the cover art by pausing the movie and right clicking.
For some reason, when I did this, it applied that cover art to multiple different DVDs. It might have been that some of them had unassigned album names. Then when I went to change them, it caused some confusion, I had to remove everything and start again.
Are the coverart and tags put into the files? Or is it just in the library?
Edit: I think that the issue was just the name of the image was the unassigned album value. For videos, it would be great if the name could be something else... and/or the tags were changed.One thing that I noticed was that I can import one DVD file, but when it goes to play, it brings in a bunch of other files, which is a bit confusing. Similarly, the files all have a little red "X" over part of the icon (seeming to imply that the file does not exist even though it does.)
If the red x is there, the file isn't there. It may have been moved? File/update library will get rid of these.
Nope, it hasn't been moved. This is the result I get from any file. Upon importing, only the selected playing file is ok, all the others say "File Not Found" in the status bar.
I may not be importing the correct file, and/or the files are automatically importing with different names.
However, I can click on any of hte movies and they play.
I noticed that the imported file name is:
E:\Panic Room\PANIC_ROOM\\DVD Title 1 (28 chapters).dvd;1
I don't know whether that is the problem. I have extracted the raw vob files, and am not exactly sure which one it thinks it's pointing to.
These are the files in that directory:
VIDEO_TS.BUP
VIDEO_TS.IFO
VIDEO_TS.VOB
VTS_01_0.BUP
VTS_01_0.IFO
VTS_01_0.VOB
VTS_01_1.VOB
VTS_01_2.VOB
VTS_01_3.VOB
VTS_01_4.VOB
VTS_01_5.VOB
VTS_01_6.VOB
VTS_02_0.BUP
VTS_02_0.IFO
VTS_02_0.VOB
VTS_02_1.VOB
VTS_03_0.BUP
VTS_03_0.IFO
VTS_03_0.VOB
VTS_03_1.VOB
VTS_04_0.BUP
VTS_04_0.IFO
VTS_04_0.VOB
VTS_04_1.VOB
Edit: Also, the file type is "Data" changing this to video has no real effect.I'm not sure we'll ever make MC as complex as Zoom Player. If we had a definitive list of what people agreed on, we'd chip away at some of it.
I'll take a look at it and see what seem to be the most important features. I don't want it to be as complex as ZP either, I'd just like to feel comfortable with it outputing to a high quality display. (As I have now become comfortable with using it to rip CDs and don't really use EAC anymore.)
I assume you know about NetRemote. It's in the FAQ near the top of this board.
I do and have played with it, however, I have found it moderately complicated to use (just PC to PC, since I Don't have a pocketpc to play with) and couldn't recomend it to my father, who is looking to setup such a system. Also, it seems to miss on some of the searching of the library that would make it a real killer.

Edit: I'm using 9.1.305, but will be upgrading to 310 when I get a chance.
Also, I have a screen shot of MC with the files, if that helps.
Also, I just tried chaning the name of the file to the first VOB:
VTS_01_0.VOB
This works, however, updating the file messes it up.
