Thanks. To be honest I forgot about the trial, they emailed me about an upgrade as I had an older version before and just went through to try it out. Yeah I like the interface but the matching is just terrible.
I hadn't got to TV Shows but yes its handling of seasons and general matching especially nmon US TV shows is poor compared to others. It took 2 whole days to index the TV shows over the weekend and again was missing loads of stuff and it was near impossible to use as a library
I'll just use it as a VLC replacement with no library usage and just seach using explorer and trigger into PowerDVD for now on the PCs.
The over selling of the products capability is what annoys me here, they say it can do a load of stuff but cannot even do simple media indexing to a reasonable standard and isnt really customizable they way they make it out. Its really not much more than VLC.
What it needs is moovieinfo dropping and either replaced with somethign else or give people the ability toi use their own choice of matchingservice. Also it doesnt really do NAs stuff well - in places the interface only supports locally attached storage which is completley pointless these days.

Hi
I have a provlem with the new PowerDVD 22.
I have a collection of around 4,000 movies. The indexing of these is a shambles compared to Plex. Plex I get around a 99% match with the correct meta data and thumbnails etc. My library is stored on a synology NAS accessed from PowerDVd on a Laptop
With PowerDVDE it is just awful.
My 4K library on my NAS has 316 4K movies PowerDVD finds 25 of them and 7 of those including standard movies such as Iron Man, Guardians of the Galaxy it fails to pull the right metadata. Plex gets 100% of these
My main movie library has around 2500 and there and there is another kids library with the rest and it finds about 75% of these
I really want to use this but I cannopt find a way of forcing reindexing (not sure that would even work). I can see no way of forcing it to pull the remaining 4K movies in
There is no way seemingly I can get this working.
Also it says you can customise the views etc how you like but this is garbage. All ther eis is Movies, TVShows/Music etc - you cannot add others like a seperate Kids Movie section - its like 10 years out oif date.
So I guess thats 60 bucks completely weasted here - I wanted to get off Plex and mistakingly believed the Cyberlink information
