Re: Moving Pictures 1.1.5 / 1.2.3 Released

Ok, seeing as you already have the IMDb+ plugin installed, the easiest solution for right now is as follows:

Open that "Movie Details Data Source versions" screen you showed and scroll down, the IMDb+ scraper-script looks like it got disabled or pushed way down, so re-enable it. You can also move it to the top position (or let the IMDb+ plugin do it as I'll explain next).

Then start MediaPortal GUI -> Plugins -> IMDb+ (if it doesn't show then you have to open MediaPortal config and click 'ok' to close it again, this way the mediaportal.xml file gets updated properly to show new plugins)

Then inside IMDb+ you might get a warning saying that the IMDb+ scraper-script is not the primary/first source for new movies, so just approve to correct that part.

Now before you use the IMDb+ scraper-script you might want to look over each of the options that allows you to configure how the IMDb+ scraper-script works. For example you might not like the average rating system and prefer the IMDb rating, or maybe you prefer long summaries (default is short), you get the point, so just go over all the options and read the description for more information on what each option does. Do not forget to enable the "Refresh all of the fields" option, because otherwise the language field and a few others would not get updated by the IMDb+ scraper-script.

Now unfortunatly we found out a little bug in the existing IMDb+ plugin where settings are not 'saved' correctly if you do not first exit the plugin before you open the hidden menu, so please exit the plugin back to the MediaPortal plugin menu and immediatly open the IMDb+ again. This will be fixed in next plugin release, but for now just exit and re-open.

Back inside the IMDb+ plugin open the hidden menu (left side on Default/DefaultWide, but your skin might have it elsewhere), and you will see "Force IMDb+" option listed in the menu. Use that "Force IMDb+" to convert all your movies over to the IMDb+ scraper-script. To verify all your movies got switched over you can use the "IMDb+ Info..." option in the same hidden menu and look for the "Movies that use a different scraper:" value to be '0' on second screen (some skins show it on single screen). There are valid reasons for using another scraper-script, such as CDUniverse Adult movie scraper, or movies that simply do not exist at the IMDb website, but for 95%+ of the users that value will be '0'.

Once your movies are switched over to use the IMDb+ scraper-script, then all you have to do is refresh each movie to get the new information and correct language, and to make that easy there is another hidden-menu option inside the IMDb+ plugin and that is to use the "Refresh Movies..." option. You can then just do all of your movies, or if you have a very large collection to do it in steps via the A-Z one.

I would first recommend to update just the "Adjustment Bureau" movie, and make sure you do get the language correct that time. Then once it works you do all/A-Z as you prefer. If it doesn't work, check to see if inside MovingPictures config "Movie Manager" -> select "Adjustment Bureau" -> to make sure that it shows tt1385826 for IMDb ID. Otherwise you have to sent it back to the importer, so that IMDb+ can correct that mistake as well.
