Is there a possibility that the disk type could be displayed? I have both ntsc and pal disks and would like to know which disk type is used for the current title. This would be useful for knowing what refresh rate should be used during play back. I know the disk type is contained in the current MMBrowser database xml file so it should be available for display.

Yes, that is possible, and planned. If you notice on the FanArt Details page, there is unused space to the right of the covers. I plan to make it look similar to the WMC version:



The reason it hasn't happened yet is I don't want to infringe on Binnerup's copyright by stealing their artwork. That means I need to create new icons for all possible values. This is a lot of work, and the hard part is making sure I know all possible values.

I also ran into a problem in which MM Browser v1.7 crashes when used with legacy My Movies 5.13, which was missing some DVD cases artwork that MM Browser was expecting to find. While I've coded a workaround in v1.8, the long-term solution is for me to design my own artwork for the cover cases as well. One benefit of this is that MM Browser will no longer require My Movies to be installed to function correctly once I create my own artwork.

That's fine Paul. I thought that it would be a nice to have and it isn't an urgent matter. I can use the database xml for testing refresh rates right now and I think that I only have five PAL disks. I plan to buy more PAL disks in the future since Europe seems to get all the releases of little known titles I like and the USA never seems to release some of those titles.
