[QUOTE="vinnythetrue, post: 341965, member: 82451"] Hi there, As it seems there is no way in RC4 to automatically add new movies from shares I did something on my end. So far it is only a few minutes of work, so it's definitively basic. The plugin scans movie shares every 10 seconds, and for every file the Database proclaim not having any info, it creates a basic IMDBFile with the file name as title. That's it. As far as I tried, the new movies appear in the MyVideo listings, then you just have to go for a manual update within Mediaportal to get more info about the movie. Hope this will be useful to someone. I'll debug it and probably add some configuration options if requested. I could as well send up the source, even if it is *really* simple [B]Update[/B] Updated with the v2 : * Now the plugin uses the movie database IMDB scripts set in the main MP configuration to retrieve informations about the movies automatically. * I added a configuration screen as well with basic options, and some regex for the onlin movie matching (sorry I know that's not particularily user friendly...). The default regex uses the filename without extension as a match for IMDB. * Added some protection. I think with the first version a database corruption could have occured if MP was closed in a bad timing. This should no longer happen. I'll take any bug/enhancement feedback in account :) [/QUOTE]
