[QUOTE="RoChess, post: 953161, member: 18896"] You can use it with recorded TV if you have EPG data that matched it. There are forum threads to discuss how to make that work as this is easier for some countries as it is for others. If you can provide this plugin with a filename that contains the "Show Name" then you are half way there. All it then needs alongside is either "Season" + "Episode" info or an "AirDate", and it will be able to show you synopsis, artwork, actor details and an easy way to keep track of what you watch and sync that up with the cloud if you want (Follw.it or Trakt.tv). Or you can import your DVDs into it. Ideally ripped to your harddisk as backups on an individual file basis, but there is a 3rd party tool on the forum that supports hardlinks to the optical medium (but who really wants to get up and swap optical medium when HDD prices are as low as they are :cool:) With some manual punishment you can even import sport shows into it as quite a few users have done to make it easy to re-watch a classic sport event. Normally only what is supported at TheTVdB.com website works, and they do not allow sport events, which is why you have to do it manually. The wiki explains this in detail. But the main purpose is to make it easy to watch your TV-series collection and keep up with newly released episodes. [/QUOTE]
