I cannot get all of my grouped movies to show up in the left window.
Can anyone tell me how I need to set it up?
Please!

I went: TOOLS / GROUP BY / MEDIA LABEL
The Media Label has My Movies typed in.
How do I setup the: My Movies (catalog) so that all of the movies show up in the LEFT side of the AMC window?

Thanks

First enter some of your movies using a script or manually. To add a new movie, hit the 'Add' button or add it on the movie menu. The program might ask for a number for the movie, then you will get an empty movie page.

Now you can use a script: Hit the button 'Get information -> From internet using a script' or do this on the movie menu, then the list with scripts will open. Choose a script from the list, if you have a favorite movie site look if there's a script for that site, else try another one (i.e. IMDB). Doubleclick and run the script, it should ask for movie title, then it fetches a list of corresponding results from internet. Choose the correct movie. Now it should download movie details and movie cover to your catalog.

Scripts have to be updated sometimes because the corresponding website might have been changed, so if a script does not work and there is no update for it, just try another one.

After you added some movies you can now use the 'group by' function, if you typed in a name for the group. The filtered list should show the name of the group (your 'catalogs') and the number of films inside this group. You can open the group by clicking on the '+' symbol.

bad4u,

I really really think I did exactly as you said, but when I went to the movies in the My Movies catalog, I clicked:

File/Open

In the Look In box, I navigate to Catalog / My Movies

When I find the movie I want I double click on it, but only that movie shows up in the left window.

I would like all the movies in the My Movies catalog to show up in the Left Window.

How do I get all of the movies in the My Movies catalog to show up in the Left Window?

Could you Please check out my new post Posted: 2008-05-27 00:10:17. HOW DID YOU SETUP AMC TO STORE YOUR MOVIE COLLECTION? It has a better file tree on exactly what I have done.
