The closest to this I've found has been NextPVR, especially since it now has Ceton tuner support.NFO scrappers I've found not very useful - they are read into a database once and then never used again, where as MyMovies is using a SQL database for its data needs, making management of media much easier. The solution in my mind will have to be just as simple. I have a Windows Home Server 2011 hosting all of my movies and TV data with Media Center and the MyMovies plugin to access all of my media needs, television and movies. It's more than just an interface to get to my content. I personally don't want to have a mixture of several products to interface with to get to my content - this was the selling point of Media Center. 1) Hang on to Windows 7 as long as possible and keep everything working until Microsoft stops support (around 2020 - 5-7 years) 2) Find a viable solution now I'm opting for #2 I know of several products that serve content: JRiver, MediaPortal, KODI, NextPVR, Emby, and PLEX to name a few.

Now with Windows 10 and Media Center effectively killed off, those of us in my position are facing some tough decisions. Hi, i recently got a hauppauge hd pvr and installed mediaportal on my pc because i read somewhere it was compatible with my hdpvr but everytime i start up mediaportal and go to the tv tab it is just a black screen. With the introduction of Windows 8 and legacy extenders not working (other than the Xbox), I've been hanging on to Windows 7.

I began using MyMovies when I found I needed to catalog my DVD collection and over the years, as my DVD collection has grown, MyMovies has become more integral in delivering content to my main HTPC and extenders. I use Windows Media Center for a well rounded media experience centered around a cable card tuner (I started with the ATI single tuner, then Ceton's InfiniTV 4 and now the Ceton InfiniTV 6 PCIe TV tuner).
