[QUOTE="Deda, post: 737016, member: 89768"] Thx for you report, I tested your patches and it works pretty impressive but as you said with some minor problems (there is no way to create something perfect so it's not your fault), script will never return results for original movies vs remakes ie. Journey to the center of the earth (1959) -> we need to use tt-number for such a case Journey to the center of the earth (2008) Also, I would like to leave numbers which looks like year in the search title (this can be cleaned in script if needed -> ie. for TMDB which doesn't like even if it have a movie with year in the title ie: Red Riding In The Year Of Our Lord 1974 [CODE]http://www.themoviedb.org/search?search=Red+Riding+In+The+Year+Of+Our+Lord+1974 vs http://www.themoviedb.org/search?search=Red+Riding+In+The+Year+Of+Our+Lord [/CODE] another good thing about year is that we can narrow search results for original MP IMDB script according to year (I implement that in latest scripts but it will work better after cleanup patch, especially for users who don't care for the naming convention and uses torrents filename -> I know that this is not our problem but we must think also on that). Next is a problem using #[url=http://www.imdb.com]The Internet Movie Database (IMDb)[/url] vs #akas.imdb.com. In your case #[url=http://www.imdb.com]The Internet Movie Database (IMDb)[/url] (English spoken countries) will work wonderful but for other countries it will return in most cases local movie name, akas will return English titles except foreign movies and for those cases TMDB is used to try to help (will work only if there is tt-number in their database). Anyway, thx for IMDBfetcher.cs part for showing Movie title in the dialog box, concerning IMDB.cs part I would like if you can test with my patch (practically you did the same except search string cleaning part) and your script (I modified it a little for handling years outside of MP code and change to search akas.imdb.com), I'm curious about conflict rate and what titles you get on the end, just trying to find something which can satisfy most of the users. And finally, if you will have time :) to use latest IMDB MP script (in attachment) and see the results with patched MP. It should work the best with filenaming like: Moviename (year) -> will narrow search result to year (+- 1) tt1234567 ->this should be direct hit Moviename tt1234567 ->this should be direct hit but even something like this should work: 2012 2009 Red.Riding.In.The.Year.Of.Our.Lord.1974.2009.720p.BluRay.x264 Salt.2010.R5.V2.XviD Alien (1979)DC [/QUOTE]
