[QUOTE="RoChess, post: 882643, member: 18896"] Merlyn, remember I got fforde to add a new scraper variable, so you can have the XML files inside the MediaPortal data folders now. It losts its purpose for me on IMDb+, because I already placed it into that location with the IMDb+ plugin. Since you still install the scraper manual some users might prefer to store the additional XML files in their MePo "User Data" folder. You can check for file-exists so you could implement support for both locations in your scraper as well. MovPic Docs @ [B][url]http://moving-pictures.tv/wiki/Scraper_Engine#Variables_Passed_to_Scraper[/url][/B] Direct reference = ${settings.mepo_data} [I](1.3+)[/I]: Path to the MediaPortal data directory. I use "${settings.mepo_data}\IMDb+\..." myself, but you don't even have to bother with a subfolder and place your xml files alongside mediaportal.xml. PS: Sorry to hear your automatic methods are failing, cuz I know on IMDb+ it is very labor intense to keep up with the manual list and currently I still only do that for US-English titles (still did not figure out a way yet how best to support all the languages IMDb+ handles).
