Hi everyone, I'm new here. I'm giving Media Center 12 a shot at cataloging my stuff, since it works well with NetRemote. I've got probably 70 DVDs ripped to a drive. After importing them, I noticed there seems to be no way to auto-populate metadata fields and cover art from the numerous internet movie databases out there. I'm really really confused by this - there are like 10 other DVD cataloging programs out there that can do this, such as
Collectorz.com Movie Collector
Ant Movie Catalog
Movie Label
DVDProfiler from Invelos
Movie Collector Pro
Movie Organizer Deluxe
MovieTrack
Eric's Movie Database
MyMovies
DVDPro
The way I would like to use this product is mainly as a database for NetRemote to connect to, so I can browse my media using my pocketPC and start it playing on my HTPC. NetRemote supports displaying all the info about the media files that Media Center provides. I don't want to spend any time tweaking any of the other stuff in Media Center such as the interface, making playlist collections, or anything like that. I just want to rip a dvd, import it into Media Center, and have the metadata auto-populate.
There are tons of freely accessible movie databases out there already, they just have to be interfaced with:
ACDrifter.com - Asian Cinema Drifter (English)
AnimeNFO.com (English)
DVDEmpire.com (English)
Exler.ru (Russian)
Kinomania.ru (Russian)
RussianDVD.com (Russian)
ShareReactor.ru (Russian)
KinoExpert.ru (Russian)
IDDK.ru (Russian)

Discshop.se (Swedish)
World-Art.ru (Animation, Russian)
movie.naver.com (Korean movie database)
moviecity.nl (Dutch movie database)
cinematografo.it (Italian movie database)
christiancinema.com (Christian Movie Database)
cinemagia.ro (Romanian Movie Database)
AlloCine.fr (French Movie Database)
kinopoisk.ru (Russian Movie Database)
csfd.cz (Czech Movie Database)
Libreriauniversitaria.it (Italian)
FilmUp.com (filmup.leonardo.it, Italian)
cinema.castlerock.it (Italian)
culturalianet.com (Spanish)
Amazon.com (English)
Amazon.co.uk (English)
Amazon.de (German)
Amazon.fr (French)
Amazon.jp (Japan)
Am I missing something here, or is this feature really missing from Media Center 12? Is there a plug-in that can do this? ??
Thanks,
