IMDB & Poster Grabber

IMDB & Poster Grabber scans your movie folders recursively for video files and takes the foldername, filters the folder through a file containing "bad words" such as commonly used "DVDRip" or "XviD". Its very easy to add your own "bad words" to the filter, just add it to the text file in Scriptdir. Its fully automated so there's no need for user input during the scan, If selected it goes on and downloads the information from IMDB and stores it in the movie folder as "imdbinfo.txt" also optionally it downloads the poster from "impawards" and stores it as "folder.jpg". If imdbinfo.txt and/or Folder.jpg already exist it skips that movie, it also handles CD1/CD2 folders inside the actual movie folder(movie name). I plan on doing further development on it but need some testing and feedback.

Important to note is:
The Grabber handles opening directly the movie folder, for example "C:\movie\Bee.Movie.DVDRip.XviD-DiAMOND\" in SINGLE mode, else scan "C:\movie\" for MULTIi(Batch) mode.
It does not matter if the folders contain "CD1" and "CD2" folders.

* Make sure your video file is inside a folder with the movie name
* Dont open CD1 or CD2 folders inside the movie folder(no need)
* Add 1 Bad word per line in filterwords.txt, you'll see how in the file

Changelog:

So this will add all the imdb info for My Videos as apposed to right clicking them all etc?

Ah well doesn't work for my set up as I just have all my movie files in one folder

Hey,

I love this program! It works a charm, have tried so many other apps and never seem to work properly with the folder structuring I have ( I have an XViD folder and every movie has its own folder in there with the original folder name ).

Just wanted to say extremely good work, One Question i have though.

Is it possible to get this program to monitor a folder and autograb the posters&imdb info for the movies that are missing these?

Thanks again, love this app!

Hi, does this program also import extracted dvd files (video_ts files) ?

Hello Datenshi,
The software works for more or less 20% of the folders. In most of the cases after 20% it crashes without any specific message, and I don't know what file was not accepted. It will be a good idea to have the option to type manually the files that are not accepted or to have a ignore button.
It will be great to add a function to rename the files in the folders with the correct name...
Is very hard to find you software in the MP forum, it will not be bad to post it on the sourceforge page or google code... or something similar.
Thank you for this great software!
Best regards
Florin
