Basic Start Tips

  1. install the Pimp.
  2. goto Database->Manage-Create via the menu to create a new database at your desired location.
  3. start adding whole disks or indivdual files etc. via the File menu options.
    1. Add File -> to add an individual file
    2. Add Link -> add a movie to the database via a html link from imdb or bluray.com
    3. Add Movie -> allows adding movies via a user created list of movie names from  various sources. Sort of a "batch" add without browsing for the files. Best used when adding optical based media. You can enter all the disc based movie names and then search and add them in a group.
    4. Add Disc -> when a disc is selected, all the recognized movie types are found and then looked up individually or for optical discs, the movie itself.
  4. Also, it's a good idea to set the File->Cache Path folder. I put in a fix in .172 to work around a empty cache path. this is where movie images and such are downloaded to. A temp dir so to speak.
