It doesnt seem to work for me, when i manually add the IMDB id it just igores it.

For example, I have a movie called MILF (Milf (Video 2010) - IMDb)

the manual search shows the correct name, year and IMDB ID, but it lists the movie as Milk (2008). I can't change this, the dropdown only shows this movie.

any ideas?

Code:
17-Oct-2010 12:18:27  Info [       MovieImporter]: User reprocessing milf.2010.dvdrip.xvid-qcf.avi 
17-Oct-2010 12:18:31  Info [       MovieImporter]: No exact match for milf.2010.dvdrip.xvid-qcf.avi 
17-Oct-2010 12:18:44  Info [       MovieImporter]: User reprocessing milf.2010.dvdrip.xvid-qcf.avi 
17-Oct-2010 12:18:46  Info [       MovieImporter]: No exact match for milf.2010.dvdrip.xvid-qcf.avi

The imdbid field does work, I just tested it with your movie filename, but I put in the imdbid for Aliens.

My guess is that this title isn't considered by IMDB to be a "Movie." It's considered to be a "Video," so that's why it's not coming up for the imdb.com scraper. I think if you want this movie in Moving Pictures, you'll have to use another scraper or manually enter the data using the pencil and paper icon in the Movie Importer.

Just do a manual search, but put in the IMDB # as the search, not the title (ie. search for tt1730704)

    Make sure you are running the latest version of Moving Pictures (1.0.8) and this should work for you. I believe IMDB redid their site which requires an upgrade of the scraper.
