Whishlist:
- Would love to be able to change fanart.
- Gernre selection is a high priority for me.

Agree... The missing Genre selection, is a major drawback for this plugin...

It's coming, just not in this release... You can't have it all in 1 day.

- Using the numerical pad (to go fro 'A' to 'K' for example) does not work (it did in 0.5.5c.)

This is overriden by our new Remote Control Movie Filtering (see notes).
Try to enter a a part of the moviename you are looking for using the remote.

We are aware that this is a hot item for a lot of people. Please keep it mind that we are only at version 0.6 (and beta). However fforde and I discussed it and there's a good chance that the filtering system will be in the next major feature release.

I want to say thanks a lot for that version. I ll try it tonight but i can already say it s a major update!. I ll also try the import feature because right now it doesnt work quite well for me. It doesnt not find the right movie. Hope it s gonna be better.
Thanks a lot

thanks a lot, this is great!

my wife of course won't be pleased, because i'll pretty much forbidd her to talk to me during the weekend. i just have more important stuff to do now...

one quick question: should i upgrade to rc3 and a recommended svn (i'm thinking of upgrading the monochrome skin as well)? i'm hesitant because the system as it is now works smoothly...

Great Job!
Great improvement in scanning movies and a very high "match rate"
The only thing that makes me NOT use this plugin, is the absence of Filtering the movies, I "only" got 200 movies (i read someone got 700!).
But still, 200 movies, and only one view!? - i miss Genre, Year and so on.
Until this is a possibility i can live with MP's own movie plugin.

What about Themoviedb.org support? It in the issue tracker, issue 169, it says that it is finished for 0.6, but you didn't mention it. Also, from your post it doesn't seem like themoviedb.org is the main provider, if it is even there. Just the mention of backdops being pulled from there.

Other than that, great to see this release. Think I'm feeling a little sick, I realy don't know if I can go to work now...
I hope that pulling backdrops from themoviedb.org and the improved cover download will find covers to almost all my films. I think that right now it is somewhere between 1/3 and 1/2 of the movies that is missing either Cover, backdrop or both.

Looking forward to testing it out.

Backdrops are now pulled from themoviedb.org, a community driven movie meta-data website.

It's right there, in the first post..

Yes I know. That is why I wrote "Just the mention of backdrops being pulled". My question was about using it as main dataprovider, for backdrops, info, covers and everything else.
I can see that issue 169 only talks about Meligrove becoming obselute, and since Meligrove only had Covers, It kinda makes sence. But when I tried searching the issuelist for "moviedb" i got no results, so I just wanted to ask.

That actually happens everytime I search the issuelist, is there some trick to doing this the right way?

Only 5 more hours of work and then I can go home and test it out


Btw, don't know Why it looked like I thanked you, must have misclicked.

Well, before crossing over the stability line, backup!
After that, you can always revert to the working version (stable)

Yeah, now I read it again, I see your point. No worries about the thanking more than welcome...

Ok cool, This works well if I know what I want to watch...
But I acnt see what I entered, nor can I go back to the all view...

Also, what if I just want to go to the 'middle' of my collection?
Say I want to see my movies that start with M...
I cant do this now?

I have not managed to use the coverart namned "folder.jpg" that I have in the movie folder.
I tried with restarting MP, use the "check for missing online coverart" function.
I also tried to remove the movie and import it fully again but nothing seems to work.

Is it just me or is this function "broken"?
