We use movie-xml for the covers in these scripts.
Does Filmaffinity give you the IMDB number for the file? If yes it is possible to get the cover from movie-xml directly; if not does it get the full English movie name? If the later a seach with that and the year to movie-xml should return one match which can then be used to grab the cover art.

If you can program or even script in any language the code in these cscripts is pretty streight forward so give it a go, happy to help if you get stuck. Start by looking at the cscript for Filmaffinity then add a section to the bottom to retrive the movie coverart, you can grab that directly from moviexml script; you woudl then just need to tweak it a t bit to add in the XML reader objects and manipulate the field you want to use as your name search.

FYI - i have been looking at the source for myVideos recently as there are a few things in there that could be changed, so the default cover art search could get better soon Looking at adding movie-xml default coverart retrieval and tightening up the logic for IPA awards so it only gets back correctly matched movies ! Also need to make some minor changes so that you can support local files if present from a csscript....

Spaldo - I have not seen this, in fact the opposite seems to be true for me, ie if I make a change in the csscript file it is auto removed from my choice section, and do it too many times and it will never stay in their as a permanent choice. When you removed the script did you move them to a sub folder of scripts? If so they are still picked up you need to move them out of the MP folder.
