would it be possible for people with a movie in its indivudal folder to use the folder name
to grab info rather than the name of the avi file which may or may not be name exactly as the movie name

example
folder name is City Of Men
avi file is named com.avi

as it stands the movie grabber will never get the correct info for the avi file but will be if it uses the folder name

i believe that meedio gave an option like this in regards to its music database in which u could create database by folder (contains complete album
or by indivudal files all in one folder


other than than and very impressed by the program

    There are quite a few improvements that can be made to the grabbing system within MyVideos.

    This has been highlighted in a few posts and work has been previously done on the side by gamejester to improve the way MP selects a match.

    One of these ideas were to have folders as well as files to store the movies.

    I think as gamejester has been away, this has been put on the backburner by the dev team. Lets hope in the next release (that has new features) that this one gets a go :)

    The current GUI for adding a movie collection is quite limited and only gets about 70% of my movies when I do a full scan / reinstall.

    One easy suggestion would be to implement the Moving Pictures GUI & IMDB scanning system into MP. fforde the developer of Moving Pictures has said he is happy to help if the MP dev's wish.

    The system in Moving Pictures allows better matching, as well as well as a much nicer system to 1) confirm movies & 2) to select if there is a conflict.

    Please dev's consider giving the people that mainly use MP for MyVideos some attention and/or consider the Moving Pictures method of both GUI & IMDB scanning.

    Thanks :)
