Moving Pictures is a movies plug-in for the MediaPortal media center application. The goal of the plug-in is to create a very focused and refined experience that requires minimal user interaction. The plug-in emphasizes usability and ease of use in managing a movie collection consisting of ripped DVDs, and movies reencoded in common video formats supported by MediaPortal.

Add support for multiple "movie libraries" in the main menu of MediaPortal #1094

Currently moving-pictures can be shown as a single line entry in the media 
portal menu (in home or in plugins).
However, I think it would be great if moving-pictures can be added multiple 
times into the menu and each entry would have it's own library.
This would be good to have 2 entries for example, one for all movies, and 
second for kids-only movies. This way, it will be easier for the kids to look 
for their movies.
I know that this can be somewhat resolved by using categories, but this method 
could be easier and nicer (of course need to add the ability to categories the 
movies between the entries).

This can already be achieved by using 3rd party skins Basic Home editors, 
basically you can point a menu item to a category like Kids Movies.

For Default skins you need to manually edit the xml file, im sure if you search 
through the forums you will find help on this.
