[QUOTE="zag2me, post: 171658, member: 19691"] Yes in theory its a very good idea :) In practice however its not such a good idea :) Over at meedios we did exactly that with a personal "library uploader", it worked great until we realised that not everyone's library is the same :) Some people store actor roles some don't, some put it in the same field as the actors. Everyone names their movies differently ect ect. It becomes a nightmare for the database consistency. There is already a nice importer that runs by grabbing data from imdb and uploading to movie-xml site but what we really need is people to add cool information like trailer links, worldwide gross ect, and more covers. And sometimes to flesh out the info for the more popular movies. [/QUOTE]
