Summary: Add Movie-XML (http://www.gaz1.com/movdb/) to the database selection of myVideos.

Description:
I just stumbled upon this sister project to the TheTVDB.com in this thread and I'd be really nice if someone could add this database to the selection in myVideos. Movie-XML got a really nice bunch of data. Especially nice-to-look-at banners for lots of movies. The current fetched ones are really ugly and I don't want to replace all of them manually on my own.

Best regards
G.B.

I think this is a great idea. The Movie-XML database is not perfect yet, but it is getting there. The movie poster artwork there is much more reliable and of better quality than IMDB as well. The whole thing needs to be fleshed out a little more, but it's already very very usable. And what's more, it's actually legal to use, whereas scraping IMDB is kind of in a gray area.

A thread from a while back from when this DB was just getting going:

I add a new script to download data from http://www.gaz1.com/movdb/, but the site is closed until 17/08/2007
