Hello
Now I have done a little fix to search by folders instead. As always with home compiled stuff everything goes away when an update to a newer svn is done but nevertheless...

This is tested with svn after 17044, 080116, and is not guaranteed to work with prior svn:s.

Replace the existing WindowPlugin.dll with this one: WindowPlugin.dll.

1. Here the default search on IMDB is done by foldername instead of the filename.
2. The filestackingdialog is also removed when trying to watch movies with several files (cd1. cd2...).

These changes are configurable if you edit MediaPortal.xml and add the following lines under section "movies":
(If you dont add the lines, the default behaviour is like above)

<section name="movies">
<entry name="searchIMDBbyFolder">yes</entry>
<entry name="showDlgFileStacked">no</entry>

<entry name="repeat">yes</entry>
<entry name="markwatched">yes</entry>
...


Try it and see if you like it. If there is some important updates in svn I can hopefully recompile a new version if requested.
I will try to get it in by the devs.

Have fun...
and I would be glad to get a hint on the result
