[QUOTE="LastMar, post: 10179, member: 10501"] Okay, well as an alternative, the information could be stored in a text file... You'd need to write code that takes in the imdb information, formats it in an easy-to-use way that can be read later, and saves it as a .txt file with the same filename as the movie file. The other side of this would have to read in the information and display it in MP. Once in use, it would be something like this: Select a movie, MP looks for a .txt with the same filename. If it exists, it displays it (but still leaves the option for an IMDB lookup) If it doesn't exist, it creates a blank file with the right name and "displays" that, and at the same time automatically searches imdb in the background The imdb searching is done by the name of the file, so correct naming is important Shouldn't be too hard to code, if you know how to get the info from imdb... Which I don't [/QUOTE]
