Ah, the updates fixed my issues. At least with the Babylon 5 series where the art wasn't being downloaded. Those are the only directories I've had a chance to try so far. Thanks!

Great, glad to hear it's working better for you.

JavaWiz, the new version fixed the problem with cover art not beeing saved but I am still struggeling getting the correct info from IMDB.

Testing the following titles:

Code:

Alexander - Found with previous version. Now no hit.
Broken Flowers - Works both before and now
Shut up and Sing - Did not work at all before. Now it returns the xml and cover for incorrect movie "Sing Now"
The Last Waltz - No hit with previous version. Finds it with new version.
Batman Begins - Works both before and now

Attaching logs.

A feature request would be to be propted to select from a list if an definitive title is not found. In the old plugin MyVideos this was the solution to ambigous titles.

Thanks,

That would be less grueling than typing a title/episode if something isn't found...

Version I am working on now will provide a list of all the hits (Alternatives).

Maybe you could also show a screen of all the clipart possible...

BTW, wiz, maybe I'm blind lazy or stupid, but if I set the log to verbose and send that to you, would you be able to see every attempt I made to lookup infromation?

Like I tried

I was looking for:
The Time Machine (1960)
The Time Machine (2002)
The Queen (latest one with Helen Mirren)

I tried a lot of different searches and always got the 1978 Time Machine and the 1968 Queen...

Then there's the case of all my Star Trek Movies and Disney classics.

And why am I seeing the production date from Italy or Peru or Canada, when the movie was shot and released in States...

Oh and how about, after I select a directory with the browse button, it automatically populates the list box.

And a more responsive Cancel button...

Ooops, looks like I'm venting, sorry. Just trying to be proactive...

I really have to take my happy pills

Yes, turning on verbose will dump a fair amount of detailed info, but, if you could supply the filenames, I can simulate on my side and replicate.

Exact filenames would be helpful so I can recreate.

You get what's scraped from IMDB or TheTvDb....

Good idea, I'll add to next version.

And a more responsive Cancel button...

I'll see what I can do. It's not truly multi-threaded, so if you are in the middle of a HTTP request, it blocks until the reponse comes back.

No apologies neccessary, constructive comments and ideas appreciated!
