  used for title matching. Should help with some edge cases for IMDb+.

Issue #392:     Added filtering to Movie Manager in configuration screen. This 
                allows you to drill down to subsections of your collection or find
                files that are missing artwork or other information. Many thanks 
                to damienh.
                
Issue #1022:    Added the ability to display secondary information (in a second 
                column) when in list view. By default the year can be displayed 
                but this can be configured via advanced settings. Thanks to 
                both ncoh and damienh for their efforts on this.

Issue #1077:    Added a new dynamic category to group by the first letter of the
                title. Currently only used in the Movie Manager filters, but could
                be added to the GUI Categories via the Define Movie Categories button
                on the GUI Settings tab of the config.
                
***********:    File names are now displayed on the main Movie Manager panel in config. 
                This should help make mismatched files more obvious and easier to
                find.
                
Issue #95:      You can now review previously ignored files and unignore them 
                on a file by file basis (under the gear icon on the Movie Importer
                in the config). Thanks to CyberFix for this patch!

***********:    Improved performance of Actors (and other large) dynamic nodes.
                
Issue #1080:    Added "ctrl-a" key binding to select all movies in the Movie 
                Mananager.
                
***********:    Skin designers can now add a button that triggers a scan for new 
                movies. Button ID #20. See wiki for more information.
                http://moving-pictures.tv/wiki/Skin_Designer%27s_Guide

Issue #859:     Added "View Movie Details" context menu item if "Click to Play" 
                is enabled in GUI Options. This is so ALL users can access details 
                view.

Issue #1088:    Added a new Advanced Setting to remove articles from Display Title 
                in GUI.                 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bug Fixes
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Issue #1073:    Fixed infinite artwork download bug (related to downloads missing
                content-length in the header). Thanks to CyberFix for this patch!

***********:    Progress indicator for the importer will now correctly display as 
                soon as import begins (previously for large network based collections
                the indicator would take 20-30 seconds to appear).
                
Issue #715:     If article removal logic is enabled it will now only remove articles
                from the language of the scraper script used. This will prevent 
                situations like "die" in "Die Hard" from being removed.

***********:    Fixed rare bug causing movie to sometimes fail to play in GUI.                

Issue #1079:    Fix an unhandled exception when pressing 'Play' on unavailable 
                movie in MovieManager.
                
Issue #1084:    Fixed an unhandled exception tossed when stressing the search
                system.

***********:    Filtering system will now ignore leading and trailing whitespace
                when trying to categorize a movie.

Issue #1087:    When quickly scrolling through your collection, the "first letter"
                popup will now display properly based on your "sort by" settings.
                For example "M" will show up instead of "T" for "The Matrix" if it 
                is sorted in that way.
                
Issue #1017:    Fixed issue with the GUI forgetting the last used view when not 
                using categories.

***********:    It is now possible to set the number of actors to display to 0 in
                advanced settings (the setting already existed, but was broken when 
                set to 0).
                
***********:    Fixed bug causing the rename dialog to remain empty when trying to 
                rename. If you were having this problem check under the gear icon on
                the popup now.

***********:    Hidden menu in default skin can now gain focus from the mouse.
                
Issue #1057:    Fixed DBLocalMedia.Get(string fullPath) method ignoring movies with
                volume serial. Thanks shukuyen.
                
***********:    Cleaned up some bugs with how some of our custom controls behave in 
                the VS GUI editor. Only relevant to other plugin developers.
                
***********:    Added all dependencies to SVN so it should now be much easier for 
                developers to check out and build Moving Pictures.

Issue #979:     Movie Manager will now refresh after a title/sortby edit.

Issue #700:     Changed article removal logic to delete the preceding article 
                rather than move it to the end. Fixes sorting issues with movies 
                like "matrix the" and "matrix revolutions the".

================================================================================
1.3.0
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Enhancements
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Issue #410:     Added the ability to search for movies based on the title, cast
                and crew or a general theme.

Issue #996:     It is now possible to use movie based wildcards for the custom 
                intro filepath. This should allow people to play different intro 
                videos based on audio codec, aspect ratio, etc. 
                Documentation: http://bit.ly/kVOGDW
                
Issue #749:     Can now point to a directory instead of a file for a custom intro.
                A random video in the folder will be played.
                
Issue #458:     Scripts can now provide the studio a film was produced by.

                Moving Pictures an invalid parameter.
                
**********:     All background mediainfo scans will now be halted when playback
                begins.

**********:     By default will no longer wait on file locks when importing 
                videos. Configurable in advanced settings.

**********:     By default, importer will now update from active scraper scripts
                until all fields are populated (previously only the first 3 were 
                called). Configurable in advanced settings.

**********:     Added "popularity" field to movie manager. This is an arbitrary 
                field provided by a scraper script that the importer uses for 
                choosing the most likely correct match. Sometimes corresponds to
                the number of people on the site that have rated the movie.

                It is also possible to enable a "Rescan Now" button on the GUI 
                Context Menu (this can be enabled on the GUI Settings tab of the

Issue #1021     Reworked update notification system so that RatingChanged events will
                play nice with Trakt even when Follw.it is also installed.

***********:    The importer will now use much less memory. This will prevent out 
                of memory errors that were occuring when people attempted to import
                1500+ movies in one sitting.
                                
Issue #608:     Fixed a bug with the scraper engine math nodes causing values to be

                adjusted by drag and drop in the configuration screen.

                utilize this yet.

Issue #974:     Fixed bug causing the IMDb preprocessor to fail for made for TV 
                and strait to video movies. Should improve import of movies using

                            again you have to resume playback where you left off.

                            retrieve coverart. Existing providers have been enhanced and 
                            covers from MyVideos will now be imported if no other covers are

                            file to the database and edit the movie details in the Movie Manager.
                            
Unignore Files:          You can now unignore files that had been previously "permanently 
                            ignored". This is currently a bulk feature. Additional granularity 
                            will be added in a future version.

               no longer corrupt the Moving Pictures database.

Issue #126:    Reordering grouped files belonging to a movie is now functional and less confusing.

Issue #112:    Runtime is now properly populated via the IMDb script.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Issue #132: Previously, if a movie was added to or deleted from a watch folder
            while MediaPortal and Moving Pictures was offline, the next time 
            MediaPortal launched, the program would crash. Relaunching 
            MediaPortal again would work correctly. This issue has been 
            resolved.

Issue #114: Fixed bug causing unhandled exception when reassigning a set of 
            files to a new movie from the Movie Manager panel.

Enhancements
------------
Issue #9:   Scanner will now pull movie details from IMDb.

Issue #30:  Scanner will now pull cover artwork from impawards.com.

Issue #40:  Full DVD rips are now supported.

Issue #49:  DVD Images are now supported. This requires the Daemon Tools integration
            of Media Portal to be turned on, as well as the ISO file extension to be
            added to the list of valid video file extension.

Issue #103: The movie importer will now attempt to retrieve an IMDB ID from an NFO
            file in the folder with the movie. If found, search will be based on 
            this rather than title and year.

Issue #43:  After playback or exiting and re-entering the plug-in, the previously
            selected movie and view will now be retained.
            
Issue #94:  Enhanced multi-part matcher to detect additional filename patterns. 

            
Bug Fixes
---------
Issue #80:  Removing and re-adding an import path in the configuration screen 
            now works as expected, and duplicates movie entries will not be 
            created.

Issue #89:  In the importer, file extension matching is no longer case sensitive. 

Issue #88:  On the movie manager tab of the configuration screen, when the user 
            tries to manually add a cover, but clicks cancel, the cover art will 
            no longer be loaded anyway.
            
Issue #78:  Movie ratings (Score) should now be loading correctly for international 
            users.

Issue #100: HD Quality sample files should no longer squeeze through the sample
            filter.
            
Issue #74:  Filenames with underscores delimiting words should now be imported
            correctly.

================================================================================
0.5.4
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Issue #75: Fixed data provider for movie backdrops (fan-art) from 
           poseters.consumeroo.com backdrop, now known as meligrove.com.
                      
           Also set this data provider as the primary. Effectively this means
           more 1080p artwork. 

Issue #72: If you delete Moving Pictures artwork (covers or fanart) in the 
           "thumbs" folder, references to this artwork will automatically be 
           severed and new artwork will be downloaded. This combined with the
           previous issue means you can delete your backdrop folder and do a 
           Full Rescan to get more 1080p backdrops.

Issue #82: Fixed a bug causing slow file system scans when checking network 
           drives.

================================================================================
0.5.3
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Major Bug Fixes
---------------
Issue #50: MediaPortal crashed after playback in any plug-in if Moving 
           Pictures had not yet been opened.
  

Importer Changes
----------------
Issue #24: Video files tagged as "samples" in their filename are now filtered
           out, and will not be grouped or automatched.

Issue #46: Year based matching has been enhanced to better parse year data
           from a file/folder name.
 
Issue #52: Created more strict rules for grouping. There should be fewer
           incorrect groupings of sequels now.
  
Issue #54: The movie scanner will no longer fail when scanning a root folder
           on a hard drive.
    
Issue #1:  Grouped matches no longer incorrectly use folder name for search string.

Issue #56: Auto-approve threshold is now lower, meaning matches now must be 
           closer to get auto-approved. This is user definable. Previous 
           setting was 3, and it has been changed to 1. To get previous behavior
           see advanced settings.

Issue #37: Upon launch, the plug-in will now search for new artwork for all
           movies currently missing cover-art or a movie backdrop.


MediaPortal GUI Changes
-----------------------
Issue #44: Plug-in will now dynamically update GUI in MediaPortal when movie
           files have been added to or deleted from an Import Path.

Issue #60: Movies will now be removed from the system when corresponding import 
           path has been removed (confirming first).

Issue #34: A (configurable) delay has been added to the GUI. This increases the
           time to load backdrops and cover-art, but dramatically improves 
           performance when moving rapidly through a list, thumbnail view, etc.
           Additional enhancements are upcoming for this...

Issue #42: The play button no longer holds focus after exiting details view.

Issue #33: Filmstrip scrolling is significantly improved.
           
Issue #45: Display of lists (actors, genres, etc) n GUI are now limited to 5
           elements (configurable).

Issue #51: Focus now remains on view button when cycling views.
