hey
thanks for this plugin.

I've got some movies that separated into 2 files (Casino Royale-cd1.avi, Casino Royale-cd2.avi), is there a way MovieWiz can look for this and play both files or at least ask for wich file to play instead making 2 entries to the DB?

also can it download higher quality images for IMDB?

Further to that, have you considered introducing a playlist feature... Probably not much use for full length movies, but great for my collection of music videos

* Using Community skin3: The info-blob below is white. And scrolling do not work. (Blue skin looks good and all works)
* 'OK' one a movie gets Unhandled exception. In Blue skin, a popup shows. Guess the community skin isn't updated with the latest stuff.

I know Community Skin is't supported yet but since upgarding to 1.0.4.0 MovieWiz get "Unhandled exception" when trying to play any video.

Not sure the data structure could handle that. I'll bet there is a fairly easy way to blend them together into 1 video tho...

also can it download higher quality images for IMDB?

I download the image as it exists on the site. Since the program displays it at a larger size, the quality does not look as good. I know they may have higher quality images, but since I am scraping, I don't want to make it too complicated, if the site changes, the scraping will break.

You might take a look at trying to retrieve image from one of the other sites, or, give the thumbnail feature a try, I think the quality will look much better if you create it yourself.

I am thinking of adding a category function (i guess you could use it as a playlist. It may not be too hard to add a play-all function, I'll put it on the list and see what I can do.

Several of you have indicated you use Community3 skins. Although I don't plan on keeping this up-to-date with every release, I've packaged a skin for Community3 that will work with MovieWiz v1.0.4. Copy the skin files into C:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\skin2\Community3\MovieWiz (or appropriate directory on your system).

that works great.
thank you.

Thanks. That was great! I do prefer Community skin.

Btw. I would like a Category function!
