[QUOTE="Dadeo, post: 1051733, member: 27204"] There are two main use cases: [LIST=1] [*]You don't have trailer and want to download one or a link when you add/import the movie. [*]You already have the movie in your DB and want to add/link a trailer you have downloaded - either in MP, MyFilms or externally. [/LIST] Actually there is a third use case I have talked to Guzzi about - adding a 'trailer only' record to db with all the movie info, and then adding the movie source file later when you get it. This could be useful with the new 6.1 Trailer features to download trailers using the Now Playing, Upcoming movies Online views. #1 isn't really supported atm, though it could be - either downloading the trailer locally, or importing a link from the web source. However, it would have to be optional as it could slow down the import process. #2 is the main use case currently supported - you can download trailers in GUI, and then register them - i.e add the file path/name to the field you use for Trailers (e.g. 'Source Trailer'). AMCU just ensures you don't get multiple entries for you movies - i.e. one for the movie and another for the trailer. NFO grabber could import existing trailers from the NFO - which is one of the things I have asked Guzzi about re my changes to NFO grabber Yeah LOL I know - I have to write the docs trying to explain it all. Guzzi has plans to rework/simplify it, much like you suggested previously. But he barely gets time to keep up with all the urgent changes required. Plus there are likely to be changes required that will affect other development. Ideally it is only GUI and language changes required, it rarely works out that easily. :( [/QUOTE]
