[QUOTE="RoChess, post: 995221, member: 18896"] Yes, the IMDb+ scraper-script simply has to be in primary scraper-script position "above" any others. This is normally done when you install the IMDb+ plugin. However when you update MovPic and it contains an internal update for the "imdb (default)" scraper-script, it will kick IMDb+ to the curb and ruin everything. Since there might be a valid reason for not having IMDb+ be the primary scraper-script, the only time a quick verification is done is when you enter the IMDb+ config (inside MediaPortal GUI via 'plugins'). It will then prompt you if IMDb+ is not the primary scraper-script and by answering with 'Yes' you can fix the problem instantly. Via the "IMDb+ Info..." hidden menu option you can manually verify that IMDb+ is in the primary spot, and this is also where you can verify that you do infact have the latest version of IMDb+ in use. Encounter some weird bugs recently on systems from friends, that I have not been able to reproduce.
