Hey, i wanna to know if it's planned to make it possible to appove "Not regornized" movies from the GUI, instead of having to open the Mediaportal config?

I agree, this should be the priority and not some trailer support/grouping of movies.

It just kills the mood, when you want to watch a movie and it doesn't appear in MovPic,
so you have to drag your ass over just to approve/select a proper movie :mad:

If Tvseries does it, it shouldn't be so complicated to implement it temporary in the same way,
instead of waiting two years for 1.5.0 version, for a not so intrusive way (without pop-up).

By then a lot of users will switch to XBMC.

    word!

    I'm wondering, why this feature isn't already out.

    Create files yourself, backup from your DVD or something = simply ensure proper filename, infact fire off a quick google search, grab the IMDB tt.... identifier and add this into the filename and you will have a 100% correct match always!

    Obtaining files from internet = just make sure NFO file goes along with it that contains the IMDB tt... identifier and ensure MovingPictures is configured to read this file (single checkbox setting), and you will have a 100% correct match rate as well, provided of course the NFO file contains the correct info


    I would otherwise love to know what method of adding movies you use that requires you to always have to manually correct them to find a match.

    And finally; this is an existing issue on the Google Code project website, so if you 'star' the issue, it will show the developers the demand for it. Because I personally rather have them fix a lot of other issues first (which I starred for that reason), before they tackle this one. This is probably why they have it currently scheduled for the v1.5.0 milestone.

    Issue 83 - moving-pictures - Support close match resolution in MediaPortal GUI - Project Hosting on Google Code

    @mat123, if it is 'sooo' easy, then please create a patch with a solution and contribute it to Google Code project website.

    Offtopic, but a bit related:

    In my opinion Mediaportal and it's plugins currently relies too much on keyboard and mouse interaction outside the Mediaportal application itself.

    For me the production setup is HTPC in my living room with a remote, that's it. I don't want to fiddle stuff with the keyboard and mouse on daily or even weekly basis. Plugins should expose more functionality to the actual GUI itself. I remember an older Moving Pictures version where I had to actually wait a quite long time for the movie to show up in the UI when I had just transferred it to my HTPC since there was no refresh option (and I think there's no such option today but the file watcher has probably been improved since I don't have to wait so long).

    Same goes with installing, updating and configuration of plugins, in XBMC it's pure gold.

    seco this is one of the main points being done in MP2. But for now we will have to improve MP1

    +1

    Movie DB should be easily updatable from main interface, without digging into settings each time when i add new movie to my collection.

    Hi, I'll move this into an own thread under "feature requests". I like the idea, but I think we can currently not implement this with further changes. I've checked the models and there are no variables, that could be easily called.

    If anyone ever experiences the above, I found a fix. Removing and reinstalling MP-TVSeries fixed it. It must have gotten corrupted during the reinstall of MP. I also had to do the same with TRAKT which had some issues too that were not apparent at the time. All is well once again. :cool:
