This is really a two-part idea.
I am interested in what options may exist (or could) to import a simple two-field text file ("title" AND first four digits of "date") into NPVR (the first part of my idea). This may or may not work a bit along the lines of XmltvExtras, except that it would also indicate on NEWA whether or not I have already imported an entry for a movie (the second part of my idea).
In order to also be compatible with TV shows for other users, perhaps also allow for "subtitle".
I maintain a unique database using a separate application which contains all my movie info (from IMDB), and my idea here is that I could export entries for only the movies which I already have copies of, and then perhaps import that into NPVR somehow, so that when I am using NEWA to schedule my recordings I can get an icon or some form of indication wherever there is a positive match ("title" AND first four digits of "date").
I am thinking there would probably be a few misses here and there, but the likelihood of false positives would be low, so the ability to skip past any flagged entries would ultimately save me some time.
Right now I compare every single movie I am interested in recording against my database by flipping back and forth between NEWA (Firefox) and my database by hand. I store all my movies offline, hence the inability to use NPVR's internal DB as my master DB to catalog these things.
Thanks
