![]() I'm not trying to knock the product as I'll readily admit that I haven't downloaded it or installed it, but I'm honestly unable to see the value in buying software whose functionality can be greatly exceeded by Plex and/or Microsoft Access, to solve a problem that's been attempted to be addressed since the early 1980's (Anyone else here old enough to remember "Ultimate Home Manager" on Dos 3.x?). If it's big enough to require an actual database query, it seems big enough to be prohibitively time consuming to actually create the database in the first place.and apparently upgrade every year or so to keep the data moving. ![]() If a collection is small enough to catalog, it's small enough to search the old fashioned way. I can kinda see the appeal to have a database of one's DVD collection if you're into that sort of thing, but it seems like more effort than it's worth to search one's computer as to whether or not a movie exists. the thing it seems to do that Plex doesn't is to help catalog movies that don't exist on a hard disk. Short version: I don't see the real draw to this over Plex Media Server, which does all the same categorization and such, along with streaming to basically everything, and doesn't cost anything.
