[QUOTE="OrionHall, post: 318930, member: 56502"] Hi carmenm, Sorry again, but so far we've stuck to the rule of not modifying the Ant XML database beyond the fields provided by Ant. This is just to maintain compatibility with Ant. I'd never heard of MovieCat, but don't see how I can support it in the updater without breaking that golden rule! On the bright side, I believe Zebons and Titoftit are modifying the Internet grabber component to support fan art. When this is done I'll be able to get the updater to use fanart images and store them where-ever needed. But the images downloaded won't be referenced by the Ant database. Not sure what you mean here with a MovieGoods grabber? My AMCUpdater will use the same logic regardless of what Internet Parser script is used. If the script supports cover images, then AMCupdater will use them. The AMCUpdater interface does require an Internet Parser file for all updates. This is sort of a bug, because the logic of 'is an Internet lookup needed' is a bit fiddly, so it was easier just to make it mandatory. This may be fixed at some point! Just select any Internet parser file, and if your configuration options (Database Fields tab) does not require an Internet lookup then it won't be used. Sorry again - no idea what you mean by marking movies as needing an update! Can you clarify? Cheers, Orion. [/QUOTE]
