I noticed Media Portal (my Videos) has a part that connects to IMDB. Is this part legal? Their licence excludes robots and page scrapping...?
Anyone asked them for a written permission to do so?
This is a good point. Their terms, however, do seem to be more worried about commercial uses of their data than private use such as seen in MediaPortal. If asked, however, they would probably be forced to say no because of the conditions in the Terms of Use. Perhaps a "don't ask, don't tell" arrangement would be best?
MP is a robot or crawler if you wish to call it so. But it does not crawl or robot IMDb itself.
The user of MP is crawling. If the user uses the information "non-personal" he has to get a license by IMDb. So the user, not MP, is doing something illegal, but only if he uses the content non-personal. But I think most users use the infos just for their own, so there is no problem.
Yes FlipGer, I think your correct.
Media Portal (see it as a company) is not useing IMDB info. It is the end user that uses the info. It would be different if MP came stock with 10,000+ movie listings already embedded by IMDB sources.
Yeah and MP is not exactly hiding that the information comes from IMDB either so they get their credits (But they do however loose income on banners and such)

If you take the previous version (1.31) it should work as expected.

Fresh install of MP with Moving Pictures and IMDB+ (newest versions) on a new Windows 10 machine. Started scraping part of my library. I'm used to a relatively smooth and fast process. But now it was EXTREMELY slow. Also many titles that always gets identified by IMDB+ now were not. Themoviedb.org instead provided details.

If I understand correctly, your device is combination of DVB-C tuner, router and some web access to play the channels in PC web browser. You can sniff http comunication with the help of Wireshark or Fiddler to determine channel url which can be used to create IPTV channel in TV server. If the url is not static(changes dynamically)...
