i am in the process of upgrading my media center.

currently it is a

amd opteron 1210 dual core
2 gb of memory
asus m2n sli motherboard
fanless gigabyte x1300 video card
i have it in a silverstone case with an imon front panel


im going to be upgrading to

amd 640 quad amd processor
foxconn cinema deluxe motherboard
8gb of memory
video = onboard 4200


during this switch i want to change media software

I am currently using xbmc

which i use ember media manager to scrape all of the media.

the issue is, my movie / tv collection has gotten to large. (after i ripped all of the dvds in my house)

what i need is a media manager that can manage diffrent "collections"

right now i have a million kids movies added into my collection... and it makes going through them a real pain.

tv shows are also fun.


what i end up doing is reverting back to median hd, wich allows me to browse by file location.

also all of my movies are not local to the media center. they are on network shares.


any suggestions?
