    It can be a video share watcher plugin. Similar to Music Share Watcher.
    Similar, but he should be able to resolve conflicts. Because files can be named:
    Code:
    Нечто - The Thing (1982).avi
    Нечто - The Thing (2011).avi
    Plugin here can make a mistake.Requires user interface as in moving pictures. For conflict resolution. Ie one match on the file. And update the information stored in the database. More than one match, or try to automatically decide to leave or importer, even if the user decides. About how it is done now when scanning. Only more beautiful.

    The automatic means silent. The manual means using the GUI like now when you start an IMDB scan in Configure.exe or the MP GUI.

    I need a silent import API to import movies automatically
    It is almost not possible. Especially with local grabber type kinopoisk. One can only import and offer options. As it is doing now in the media portal configurator.

    Hi, First off: there are some issues with the latest Mediaportal (32bits vs 64bits), so that is one of the issues you're stumbling with. If you take the previous version (1.31) it should work as expected. For IPTV there is also a different option (with different pros and cons): Onlinevideos. I'm using that sometimes for my IPTV as...

    I have all of my media on a NAS. I guess it might just be a network issue, then.

    Also clear your "log" folder before running the import. In the backend importer (from the Configuration/Plugins/MovingPictures), there's a setting for ignored files you can try to disable. I'm using Mediaportal right now, so can't check exactly how it's worded. Emph
