Display info from movie database

grubi · 2007-10-06, 00:14

Hi.

How do you display information for a movie from the internal movie database?
The only way I found is press F9 and select OFDB/IMDB from the menu.
The reason I don't like it is that then always an internet connection is established where MP looks for available coverart. Is there no way to display the internal database information without going into the internet?

Regards,
grubi.

Hi,

simply press F3 (yellow button on remote). Either while playback or while browsing the files.

Yes, but that's exactly what I don't like. As soon as you press F3 an internet connection is established cause MP is looking for available coverart. I don't like the idea that everytime I simply want to display information from the local database data is also grabbed from the internet. IMHO this should be avoided at least if "Skip files already in database" is checked in configuration.exe
