MediaLibrary provides a full-featured media library or media collection management environment on a Joomla-based website and allows you to manage large media libraries with music, game, video,movies and books. The component can also be used to easily set up a media selling shop using Amazon if you want.

I have had a lot of difficulties trying to decide which component to use. The staff at Ordosoft were excellent. They were always available, and responded very quickly to my requests for more information and how to maneuver my way through the component. I shall be buying this software.
I registered just to give my kudos to this extension. I use it on a gardening and church site, and everyone is so impressed that we can share our book and video libraries, and even keep track of when we loan them out. Now THATS a useful application. Now, please port it to Joomla 1.6! Thanks for a great job.
Works great. I needed just a couple of tweaks which the developer sorted out immediately. The extension works great and the support is brilliant.
I thoroughly recommend Medialibrary.

I was looking for a plugin that would let me catalog my DVD and book collections, and this is perfect in theory. However there look to be a few problems with the implementation right now.
It would be nice to have the ability to reorder the front end by title and other aspects, as well as having a genre block to sort without having to use the subcategories.
There are a few bugs too that I am having a hard time sorting out. On the front end there is no way to display more than 10 titles - and there isn't any "next page" type navigation for additional titles.
The second bug is on the details page of the title. For some reason it looses the Joomla wrapper for the component.
You can see it in operation here:

Owner's reply
For start: on MediaLibrary home site exist forum and support for all errors and suggestion requests.
- If you real check component and look at "media manager" and at "category manager" - you will found very good ability for reordering. Now you can do ordering as for media in some category, also for these categories. Also you have very extended category manager with possibility create complicated tree for category.
- Also If you real see component - you will can find Tabs for setting - where you can found parameters for set - how much item show at one page.
- For don't lost Joomla wraper - please recheck yours template design. For default template design all work good.
Thanks for check ours component
