[QUOTE="gamejester, post: 287273, member: 50634"] 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 !
