    1) you see the downloaded information in your OSD by pressing "y" while playing a movie fullscreen

    2) you see the movie-picture while browsing your movie shares in MP

    3) by pressing "F9" (browsing your movie shares) you can view the description/pictures/actors usw from every movie downloaded from IMDB & CO

    of course you can use the buttons from you remote too, depends on what kind of remote you'Re using

    oh, i'm sorry..

    it's F3 instead from F9. F9 opens the "contextmenu" where you surely can download the data again. pressing F3 on a movie displays the info if downloaded before.

    It would be cool if there was an option that showed you the detailed view (poster, plot, etc.) when you press enter, instead of F3. Then play the movie from that detail screen. I personally use the F3, but no one else who visits my house is aware of that option, they just hit enter and play the movie and never see the details.

    It's probably me that is a bit slow on learning things but I have never seen the actors info. I notice that it is downloaded cause it takes some time but I can't find it later. If I press the INFO button on my MCE remote I get some info but not the actors.

    Hi moltas,

    you can change to view to "actors-view". You can then see the pictures. Hitting F3 on the actor should give the detailed infos, but this does not seem to work anymore...

    That's the "Info" button on Remotes. For example the MCE Remote has a button labeled like this, which is same as F3.

    fixed the episode naming above ^. There was no error in the naming of the file itself. Every time I enter TV Series, it tries to re-scan the episodes. The series appears for just a few seconds and disappears again.

    4.5 is really old. I'm not sure 4.5.5 even is a version that actually existed. You should be able to install .NET Framework 4.8.0 on Windows 7 SP1

    After Tv Movie EPG Import++ is unrepairable, I tried Tv Movie EPG Import. Unfortunately, the import gets stuck here. Does anyone have an idea why this could be, or does it still work for anyone at all?

    Isn't there anyone who needs the series episode listings in the EPG? Perhaps someone could move this post to the English forum.
