I have made more than a couple videos myself, and I also have amassed a rather impressive collection of videos. Hard disk space is a premium for me, so I keep most of my stuff on DVD-Rs, and networked from my laptop (which isn't always on the network). Having Myth just present me with a listing of everything in the directory (including the DVD drive, which would be mounted inside of that directory) would be wonderful.</DIV><BR><BLOCKQUOTE type="cite"> <BR> how about writing a script that checks your video collection every night at 2am and then updates your DB if there are any changes? is that what you are asking for? <BR></BLOCKQUOTE><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV><SPAN class="Apple-style-span">Well, it all depends.

Perhaps someone needs to create a sort of off-shoot of MythVideo where there is no real database of information kept, and we're just given a disk explorer to load up videos, sort of like how XBMC does video management.</DIV><BR><BLOCKQUOTE type="cite"><BR><DIV><SPAN class="gmail_quote">On 3/27/06, <B class="gmail_sendername">Brian Wood</B> <<A href="mailto:beww@beww.org">beww@beww.org</A>> wrote:</SPAN><BLOCKQUOTE class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> <BR>On Mar 27, 2006, at 1:24 PM, Rob Dege wrote:<BR><BR>><BR>> Thanks for the info.
