IMDB grabber help.... :S (1 Viewer)

[MaistroX]

Hi!

Have alot of movies but they almost all fail to be imported by mediaportals IMDB script.
2 out of 300 movies will be recognized and 280, the rest I have to manually import and alot will be wrong anyway.

Close to all my movies looks like this ex:

-> A.Nightmare.on.Elm.Street.2010.SWESUB.DTS.1080p.BluRay.x264-SOMETHING.mkv

But dont get recognized at all.

What can be done regarding the grabber/script so it will parse that ex: the file above correctly

Please help!

In my experience the grabber scripts are only slightly better than useless. I had to manually rename all 500 of my movies in order to get it to recognize most of them. Even then it was unable to find movies labeled as simply as The Godfather.avi. Often the first 10 results will be stuff completely unrelated to the movie, and somewhere buried in the search results will be the correct title. Plus, if you add a movie, you have to rescan the entire directory, which can take over an hour.

I tried Moving Pictures and it worked much better, but had some problems as well.

I've found it best to rename movies to: movie name (year) e.g. "Planet of the Apes (1968)" if it's just "Planet of the Apes" you have to manually select the correct version.
I get a lot less movies to manually select this way.

I do the same as MadMagpie (above) and also use Moving Pictures. When I do an import I usually do it through the plug in 'config' setting under MP Config. I find that Moving Pictures usually find the correct film.
