In saying that, is there something specific that the XBMC media stubs does that MC doesn't?
Thanks for explanation. It is a great feature.
In my opinion one thing in whole concept is missing:
imagine situation - a lot of DVD stored in several cases, every single DVD has number and cases are numbered too
Title Number Case
Matrix 7 2
Black book 12 1
It is useful to have in message "insert DVD number 7 Case 2"
MC is able to create directories from text file with movie titles, but I do not see a way how to create for every movie custom message with DVD and case number in automatic way. May be I am missing something.
To tell the truth media stubs do not solve this situation too So there is not any specific media stubs feature which MC doesn ´t cover.
But in my opinion using of customisable message for every single offline movie would save a lot of time during creating large collection of offline movies.
