Parsing Movies?

D.K · 2007-02-03, 23:14

Hi!
So i started using Mediaportal some months ago, and big up, great program!
Ive used the MP-TV Serier plugin and it works great for parsing and getting the info etc for every TV show i got.
Now i started to watch movies again (i had a long break from the movies) and want to get them sorted with covers etc etc.
Now to the question:
Can i in some way get Mediaportal to try to find the movie by the foldername and not the filename? Like when i have a movie thats called tnd-lawl.cd1.avi (Tomorrow never dies) it doesnt find it. But if the program would search for the foldername it would get the corect name out of it, just like MP-TVseries.
Is this possible to change in some way? Or do i have to rename every single avi?

You have to have the file names correct for the internal parser. Hovewer somewere her on the MP site I saw a tool to rename movie files from the name ot the catalog!
Good luck!
