How can I search IMDB for movie name instead of file name?

[AvsFan]

Hello All! Decided to make the switch from Meedio and am trying to set up MP to my liking. MP is looking great!

When searching for movie info, how can I change what is being searched for?

When I hit the "E" button on my remote, which for me is the IMDB search button, it searches IMDB for the file name instead of the movie name or folder name (which is the movie name).

So all the searches end up being VIDEO_TS and i have to end up doing a manual search for each movie.

Also, on the home screen, is there a way to change 'My Videos' to say 'My Movies' ?

Thanks for the help!

What is the structure of your Movies folder? It is working as you describe on my machine.

  |- Movie Title 1
  |     |- AUDIO_TS
  |     |- VIDEO_TS
  |
  |- Movie Title 2
  |     |- AUDIO_TS
  |     |- VIDEO_TS

If you change strings.xml in "C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\Language\English" you can have Movies instead of Videos

Thanks! Changing the strings.xml worked perfectly. If i wanted to completely get rid of an option, like 'My Plugins' would i delete it from that strings file as well?

And my movies folder structure is:

Movie name
----VIDEO_TS
----VTS_01_0

well, those are the files that show up in MP when i click on a movie anyway.

Anyone know what I can do for my first question?

Thanks!

No, strings file is used to translate the message for the screen, no need to delete anything from this. Use the MP Setup configuration tool, at the bottom of the list is Plugins. Select the plugin you want and click right mouse button. This will give a series of options including disable.

I think the VTS_01_0 should be within the the VIDEO_TS folder.

Thanks for the replies. What I actually meant was, how do I delete the entire "My Plugins" option from the home screen? The only thing that shows up there are two games and I deleted those anyway so "My Plugins" is just empty.

But still when I search for movie info from within MP, it searches IMDB for VIDEO_TS. How can I get it to search IMDB for the actual name of the movie without doing a manual search? The name of each movie on my computer is the folder name. C://Movies/Star Wars/VTS_01_0

I think it shuld work if ju "right click" on the folder and then choose IMBD.

From within MP or on the actually folder on my computer?

There must be a way to search IMDB from within MP for the movie name instead of a file name and without manually doing it. Do i have something set up wrong perhaps?
