      Thanks Andreas and deank. It's one of my most useful apps I use on my PS3! I use both the stand alone version and also the one inside multiMAN.

      If you are like me, and you have your PS3 offline. Make sure to disable the Metadata feature in the settings. I had to do this, because it would cause the app to freeze a bit when surfing for a film on my HDDs (spinning circle). Once I disable all the Metadata providers for video and music, my experience with surfing my videos is not a problem anymore.

      I also encountered a bug with TV shows. I have them in their folder "named as the tv show" and each file inside is just named as 01, 02, 03 and etc for each episode. Well, when I had my PS3 online and I surfed those folders, the metadata fetched some movie titles for each episode. I was laughing, because I guess it thinks those tv episodes are movies. lol.
