What do you primarily use to manage your archived movie and TV content?

I moved away from MediaBrowser to My Movies recently due to the fact that it's just easier to use and manage in general with the included Collection Management, etc.

It would be nice to have more control over customisation, though.

Hey Mike,

Based on your poll choices it appears this is only for HTPCs and not media players?

As far as my setup, I use Media Browser, MyMovies, Zappiti (Dune) and YAMJ (PCH) to manage my movie/tv library (although I of course understand I am probably not the norm!)

Okay, we,ve gone ahead and added your choices. Remember, it's "primarily" so you can only choose one item in the poll.

Damian, we're intersted in learning what MissingRemote readers are doing in this area as a whole. We'll discuss the results in next month's podcast and also see who was closest in their prediction (Andrew, Mike, Mikinho and I made predictions of winnder and percentage).

OK, I admit it, I'm confused by the question.

To me, managing my archived content means renaming the files and putting them in an appropriate folder structure so they can be consumed easier by the various front ends out there like XBMC or Media Browser and by metadata mangers.  As far as I know, most of the items in your survey don't provide that functionality

I use Jack Luminous' TV Library plugin as my primary front-end to that since it's the only tool I've found that can seamlessly integrate archived content with current recorded TV in Media Center.

I use Media Browser for my collections (Movies and TV episodes) that I intend to keep.

I use Boxee for AVI movies that I watch and then delete. Boxee is also great for streaming Pandora and podcasts.

I use the built-in Video player (from "pictures and videos") for nightly TV episodes that I watch then delete. It's easier to delete an MKV after watching than Media Browser.

I use Windows 7 Pro x86 with the Shark 007 codec pack.

Media Browser, and Media Center Master for metadata, make a powerful, and not to mention free, combination. Whats great is that MCM makes metadata for just about all the major HTPC apps anyway, so its held in as high esteem as any of these apps IMO.

My Movies is very good of course, and now that it's got TV series support, its all the better. I like to use it for my disc ISOs, as it provides additional metadata about the audio tracks, subtitles, and extras on the disc.

I choose Mythtv for the win.
