Hi all, for my movie DVDs I use My Movies (I normally rip them to the encoder friendly WMV), but I don't really know what to do with my TV DVDs, I know I could use My Movies too, but it doesn't sound right, so tell me how you do it.

Thank you.

If you don't mind a bit of tweaking within XML files, then the Video Library app by JackLuminous that is available over at TGB is pretty good. I have a number of TV series in avi format, and if you are carefull with your file naming / structure, then this app grabs a load of metadata and images from TVDB. You then access your TV content via series, and then season and finally episode. All have data and images. I believe it will also do recorded tv, but I have only used the app on my Vista Laptop, which doesn't have a tuner.

myTV works well, but as I've just posted on the blog I don't really bother and just use the "Videos" page.  If it's TV show DVDs I'd be inclined to use OML it's really taking shape and can work on Externders (at least for viewing the covers).
