All my movie files are either .iso or .avi and I have made sure that the extensions are added to the Valid Extension list. Yet when I add a folder with just the one movie in it it seems to work fine. Does this program not allow you to add a folder with more than one file in it?

And I have had it working, but it was on 7 Ultimate RC2. No luck on Pro RTM.

Anyone else?

I have another problem now, in Media Center the Movie scrolls sideways automatically as soon as I open it, this keeps on happening. I'm guessing its some programming error, but not too sure..

Media Center needs a different kind of metadata setup, mainly a dvdid.xml and it’s corresponding metadata in the DvdInfoCahce folder.

To enable this, do the following
- Options->Movies Tab
- Put a check on “Create DvdIdXML Files”
- Point the path to your “DvdInfoCache” location (the default is put in there, but accidently puts an extra “\Roaming” in there, so edit it out
- Click Save

It will now save metadata that is used by Vista/W7 Media Center.

When it was early in its development I was posting on the developers forum quite frequently giving feedback, and I found that he was willing to implement just about every recommendation he received. The changes he has made in the past few months have allowed me to completely stop messing with anything outside of my MC/Mediabrowser GUI. I love having everything automatic. metabrowser is amazing.
