Best way to rename movies?

nstern2 · 2008-03-29, 20:56

Hi all I am just getting into MP as I had an xbmc which was great. I have all my movies named how I thought my movies would be able to grab them. Now when I use my movies to search for the imdb details it usually finds the correct details, but on a few it picks the wrong movie altogther. Is there a better plugin for getting IMDB details.

Another quick thing I just thought of. Is there a way to stop my movies from grabbing the default thumb from IMDB? All my movies have the .tbn thumbs from mediaicons.org, which look much better than the imdb ones.

Hi - and welcome to the forum

With last SVN you can always manually enter the name of the movie

I rename my movies like this:

[Root Movies Folder]\[Title of movie]\[Title of movie] ([Year of movie]).avi

.....seems to find and tag them all ok.
