ANT and update data via scripts

yatesd · 2007-07-24, 09:05

Not sure whether this should go here or in General Talk but I would assume that most people using this excellent Plugin also use ANT.

Maybe a daft question but I wondered if anyone could help me with the scripting side of things. I currently use the Allmovie (I think that is what it is called) script to get information.

The question is, if I want to refresh the information of the complete database do I have to reselect the right film from the selection it provides or will it accept second time around that the film title is now exact.

Not sure whether any of that makes sense but hoe so.

Also, is there a poll or general statement on here about which script most people use to get the best information?

Thanks,

Dave

I insert all titles/names of all movies then select all and use allmovie to get info. it works for 90% of the movies. I skip on the movies it can't find.

I then select the ones that don't have any info or need update and run the yahoomovies script.

I run amazon for the rest that didn't get their inf from yahoomovies.
