The IMDb+ scraper-script update check is only done in IMDb+ plugin, which is only activated inside GUI. This would explain your issues, as you appear to never go back to MediaPortal GUI, and launch MovPic config. A wiki entry that explains all the step required when you restore an old database is sorely missing. The steps to take are:<ol> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Reinstall MePo</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Reinstall all plugins with MPEI</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Restore the database backups</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Restore all the XML settings</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Launch MediaPortal GUI</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Allow IMDb+ plugin to verify that the IMDb+ scraper-script contained within your last MovPic dbase backup is current and update if needed</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Open IMDb+ plugin and use "IMDb+ Info" and "Force IMDb+.." to verify and correct any mistakes that might still existing in old MovPic backup</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">Do whatever else you wanted to do</li> </ol>Now the problem is that when MovPic contains updates to other scraper script; it will, without any consideration for IMDb+, push itself back to the primary scraper-script position for "imdb (default)" or "TMDb". In that case you have to open IMDb+ plugin again inside GUI for it to do a quick check if its primary again (and show dialog to correct). The reason this is not done always or forced by IMDb+, is because there are many valid reasons for not wanting IMDb+ to be the primary scraper-script. As for MovPic reasoning to force itself as primary is I'm sure done to correct any mistakes in old databases, but it is annoying. So each time MovPic updates, it might not always contain scraper-script updates to whatever it feels should be the primary scraper-script, but it is then adviced to simply launch IMDb+ plugins each time afterwards inside MediaPortal GUI to verify this. A suggestion to not do this was met with "Not going to adjust MovPic to cater to IMDb+", so aside from releasing a fork, the ugly work-arounds will have to do. PS: I do hope to catch up on things and find the time to work to IMDb+ plugin and release an intermediar version that adds new features relating to collections and other aspects, but to not keep delaying it until I've finished the major rewrite, as that seems to take forever. That way a current IMDb+ scraper-script will be bundled inside the MPEI and indirectly solve this problem you are having as well. I've been sitting on v5.0 rewrite for a long time now, and appears I'm going to have to push that to v6.0, which is why I resorted to v4.9.10 when it was time to move to v5.0.1. That is another bug in MovPic as well, I can not release a x.x.0 version, or MovPic will not 'see' it as new.</blockquote>
