Also it bothered me, that movies, which belong together, were scattered over the entire movie list due to their mismatching titles Then RoChess introduced his IMDb+ Scraper and I thought to myself "Hey, you can do that too!" Now, a month of constant development later, I am happy to introduce FilmInfo+ FilmInfo+ not only finds the correct title and info for most movies, it also sorts them correctly, if they belong together! [SIZE="3"]Features[/SIZE] [LIST] [*]german titles and summaries [*]fast recognition [*]automatic sorting [*]shows cast and roles [*]manual sort possible [/LIST] [SIZE="3"]Manual changes[/SIZE] Many movies are often not available in german movie databases. FilmInfo+ is based on IMDb and if no german info is found the american info is used instead. But especially asian movies are often listed on IMDb with their original asian titles, which are mainly unknown in Germany. In these cases it may be necessary to manually rename the movies to be listet correctly. For this a seperate database xml file was created: "FilmInfo+ Special Movies.xml".

[SIZE="3"]Notes[/SIZE] [B]"Help, my movie is not recognized!!!"[/B] FilmInfo+ worked flawlessly in more than a 1000+ testruns. If your movie is not recognized it is most probably due to the file name not having enough info for an exact match. To increase the chances of a successful match the file should be named with the full movie title, the release year and for a 100% match the imdb id, i.e.: [INDENT][I]Avatar (2009) (tt0499549).mkv[/I][/INDENT] All info, that is not the movie title should be put in brackets. [B]Special Editions[/B] FilmInfo+ also is able to mark special editions (Extended Edition, Director's Cut, Alternate Ending, 3D). Due to a bug in Moving Pictures the IMDb ID is required for a safe match, i.e. [I]Avatar (Extended Edition) (2009) (tt0499549).mkv[/I].
