But any chance that Wiz Metadata grabber could be externalised from gbpvr, as I like the xml file structure (the individual xml files per movie) but I'd like to run it on a different machine that doesn't have gbpvr.

I've been looking for a tool to create then xml files, and they all see to want to use a db. The closest I've got so far is media scout.]]>

I understand from other posts that you're busy at the moment, and I'm not requesting a quick fix for these issues, but it would be fantastic if you could look into them when you have the time.

The biggest problem is with titles not being recognized despite the filenames being exact matches for the name on IMDB. Often Moviewiz will return some obscure short film, or series with the same or similar title despite the year being different. In almost every case, when clicking on 'Find Alternatives', the correct result is the first on the list.

Here's some examples of exact filenames, minus extensions, so hopefully you can reproduce the problem:

In the Loop (2009)
No Country For Old Men (2009)
Sate of Play (2009)
This is England (2006)
Back to the Future (1985)
Rise of the Footsoldier (2007)

The second issue is with image lookups from themoviedb.org. I'm getting a lot of backdrops returned, rather than posters. Backdrops are better than no image, but I think they should be last resort, and posters are available from themoviedb, and always come above backdrops on the list when performing a manual lookup.]]> I've been having a few problems with Moviewiz recently.

I've set GBPVR up a hundred times, and never had a problem before.

Here is what my postprocessing.bat looks like...

WizRenameRecording {show}{[ - ]}{episode}

And here is what the log file looks like, after Wiz fails to rename a file...

===========================================================
WizRenameRecording - Rename recording files and db entries.
Run on: 5/14/2010 12:32 AM (v0.2.0.3)

I can manually run Wiz, and it renames the files just fine, using the exact syntax of my postprocessing.bat file.

Does anybody have any idea what I might be doing wrong???]]>

I then did a clean install, restored the two files I backed, and then reinstalled WizRenameRecording. The PostProcessing.bat has just one line - the default WizRenameRecording line.

No good. It still won't rename any files. It does work if I run it manually. Here's the log file for the last couple of attempts...

So first, thank you for this very useful tool!

It have done the work well but there are some features that can be enhanced.

There are three radio buttons: Banner, Thumbnail and Vignette. I don't think they work as they are supposed to. I guess it where supposed to switch between the image categories, but this do not work.

I suspect that it is difficult to get correct info on the different type of images stored on thetvdb.
But as it takes a long time to browse the images, my suggestion is that you replace the radio buttons with a dropdown. The dropdown would be populated with as manu integers as there is images for the series.
Or as alternative to a dropdown, buttons that jump five images at the time (forward and backward).

The reason for this is that the images I want is usually placed in the middle of all the stored images. So it is no help to be able to jump to the end. I have to step through them all one by one...

But as i began, the tool have saved me a lot of time when I have added new series. It is simple and there is no need for more features as it does the work well, except the one mentioned above.]]> this post and have used it of and on since then. So first, thank you for this very useful tool!
