[QUOTE="Deda, post: 630778, member: 89768"] I don't know is this can be posted here but all in all it's related to IMDB script :). OK, here's the deal. My Videos in Media Portal is most using part of this software for me. But something is very bad inside. Nothing works as it should and almost everything in configuration is broken to the bone. So I asked myself, why all of those options exists at all if there is no any use of them? Is this abandoned section or something? Hell Yeah!!! Not anymore!!!! So here it is: MP + Auto-FanArt download+so many many more as it should be from the beginning. FanArts are random so if you like to change it you can do it Configuration/VideoDatabase in FanArt Tab (this also works from GUI if you hit Refresh from movie info page). If movie is deleted from database, FanArts are also deleted (right now this works only from Configuration screen). If database is reset, all FanArts are deleted. FanArts are stored in %MPConfiguration% folder \Thumbs\Skin Fanart\movies FanArts should work in Share and Title view. Supportd skins are: * aMPed - 3.1 * Black Glass 2.5 - Works ok * Black Glass Nova 1.2 - Works on share view/ Database view got small (fixed in next release) * BleazleWide - ?? * PureVisionHD 3.9 - Works ok * StreamedMP - - ?? * X-Factor - ?? Also you need Fanart Handler Plugin: [URL="https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/mediaportal-plugins-47/fanart-handler-plugin-v2-0-music-fanart-scraper-76535/#post564573"]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/mediaportal-plugins-47/fanart-handler-plugin-v2-0-music-fanart-scraper-76535/#post564573[/URL] In Fanart plugin config / Video Fanart tab check "Enable Fanart For Selected Items". P.S. Backup original files before you replace them with attachments *This my little project is still in test stage but it works flawlessly on me (I'm using BlackGlass Nova Skin) **Movies which title contain ":" is replaced with "-" upon scan (this is forbidden char for filenames as FanArt file name is like movie title and original movie file name) ***This all FanArt stuff can be done manually but why not automate it :) ****Patched files are safe, changes are only in MP movie database handling so there should be no any problem with other plugins or any media interaction like playing, recording, watching TV, music... There is no need to rescan whole database, for test you can use FanArt tab in configuration and just press Get fanart button for selected movie (beware that movie title doesn't contain ":" otherwise just rescan that movie and fanart should be there automatically then start MP and try it on that movie) [B]22.6.2010 Update for MediaPortal 1.1.0 RC6[/B] [U]MP Video Database Configuration [/U] - Added fanart as an option (Settings tab) with some checking's and warnings - Removed fanart dependency from script so it should work with default script from MP - Default cover is from IMP Awards, if it's not exists on IMPAw then it uses IMDB cover - Removed Amazon movie cover lookup on some places deep in MP code 'cause it's not working for a long time - Includes all previous fixes for cover grabbing [U]IMDB SCRIPT [/U] - cleaned up IMDB script from obsolete code - IMDB script rating by countries [B]24.6.2010[/B] [U]MP Video Database Configuration RC6[/U] - Fanart browsing like Covers - Movie refresh by IMDB ID or Title - Database scan/refresh with option to not skip existing movies in DB uses IMDB ID for existing movies (no duplicates-conflicts for existing movies anymore) - RC5 version added [B]26.6.2010[/B] [U]MP Video Database Configuration RC6[/U] - No more CDx from file names forwarded to search string and nearest match LevenshteinDistance method - Only one file showed and processed after (without CDx) in conflict screen for file names with CDx [U]IMDB SCRIPT [/U] Minor update - writers [B]28.6.2010[/B] [U]MP Video Database Configuration RC6[/U] - TMDB (themoviedb.org) cover search added - Auto cover grab engine update for TMDB - Cover source option in manual cover browsing [B]29.6.2010[/B] [U]MP Video Database Configuration RC6[/U] - Added option to scan by folder name, search will be processed by folder name (every movie is in separate folder - more files for one movie is allowed and treated as one, just use Name CDx at the end of file before extension, name needs to be the same for all files inside folder).
