Just some quick feedback on editing movies in follw.it:
- I've noticed a few movies (so far) where the poster for an English movie is in Spanish, or Italian, or Polish, etc. So I upload the English-language one and mark the previous poster for the correct language. When it's received my poster, it displays the new poster and the previous poster, but they're both the same image of the previous poster. Probably a caching problem.
- Adding a poster to a movie doesn't mark the movie as having been edited, so I don't get credit for editing the movie, even though the only way to add the poster on the website is via the "Edit Movie" facility. I work around this by slightly modifying the movie description or fixing some minor other error, which is a bit of a cheat and slows down the overall process.
- I'm going through my online collection identifying movies that have strange names - example is "Doktor No". The movie's description shows Sean Connory but the poster is Van Damme. I edit the movie to change languange to Engish, title to "Dr. No" etc. then I click on the IMDB or themoviedb links. Both links take it to the Van Damme movie rather than the James Bond Movie, so I'm not really sure what movie follw.it this this record is for.
- Korean and Chinese needs to be added to the language drop-down when editing a movie.
- it would be good to have a NEXT button at the bottom of the screen when in movie list mode to save having to scroll back up to the top to press it.
- when I entered MP just now and went into Moving Pictures, I marked 3 movies as watched by right-clicking the movie name and toggling Watched. In follw.it, these 4 movies have just shown up now as having been rated, not watched, 4 minutes ago.

Hi fforde,
I've attached new log files after reading your explanation. Here's the steps I took:
0: exited MP configuration. Not sure exactly what i was doing at the time but I've included the old (.bak) log file just in case.
1: enter MP config/MP-TV Series config. I do absolutely nothing except right-click on series and episodes to mark them watched. I do a lot this time.
2: exit MP-TV Series and MP config cleanly. Wait a minute or two to allow anything to finish in background. This is the first log file attached.
3: enter MP config/MP-TV Series config again. I do nothing at all except watch the screen. It proceeds to log 2000+ follw.it entries.
4: I wait 20 minutes for it to finish and exit cleanly. This is the 2nd log file.
Note that I did not run any other processes or use the follw.it website while doing the above. I also didn't have anything using or hammering the network (such as torrents) (apart from processes doing whatever they do of course)
Hope that helps!
