    @caveman, Windows by default will activate "Windows Defender", which sees majority of MediaPortal activity as suspicious and can cause major slow-downs on top of everything else. Excluding the program and data folder, and the MediaPortal process solved it. Ran into it recently again, because Microsoft in their sheer magic decided to erase all my existing exclusion rules when it upgraded to 1809.

    And you need to either edit your Moving-Picture advanced noise filter configuration (very complex Regular Expression) to auto-clean up those bad titles, or manually rename them. Adding NFOs with an IMDb tt-ID reference (or adding it to filename or folder) also solves it, because it bypasses the search system.

    The IMDb+ scraper-script would have been able to find a positive match though on the quick test I ran, as I created a much more aggressive search algorithm with it.

    Never had the sisuen before with defender. But Will check it :)
    Excluded the plugin folder. Will also exclude the data folder

    I thought not being able to find the movies and the issues with the protocols could have caused the problem.

    Still When retriving possible matches 90% CPU usage..

    @caveman, well it is an extensive multi-threaded process that kicks in, which you can tweak via the advanced settings to limit if needed.

    To really diagnose the issue, you will have to turn on MediaPortal debug logging, and turn on Moving-Pictures scraper-debug, for extremely detailed log entries that will allow much greater insight into the processes occurring.

    MovPic config -> goto importer tab -> click settings icon -> activate debug, it should show a tiny little green icon to confirm

    If it works log files will be huge, like 1MB for a single movie import, but it will contain the vital data to debug what is causing the delay for you by tracing down the timestamp segments that cause a pause. Tends to be network-time-out related, because for example the scraper-script is configured to wait 30 seconds on an answer that it will never get, causing the slowdown you are expecting.

    When config initially loads it will scrape all the missing images again, and this can cause 100's of threads to kick in, and can take a while before it resolves.

    Ideally you help the community by adding those covers or whatever artwork is missing to their respective sites, or at least add a placeholder image locally. This will then prevent all those "Not Found" errors and keep everything speedy.

    And no, the logs you gave were not enough, because they do not reveal the underlying scraper-engine steps leading up to that.

    • Switch to the importer tab:
      FAQ.MovingPictures.1a_Importer.Settings.png

    • Select radio option, and click on "Movie Details Data Sources" button:
      FAQ.MovingPictures.1b_Manually.Manage.png

    • Select "Enable Debug Mode" from gear icon menu:
      FAQ.MovingPictures.1e_Scraper.Enable.Debug.Mode.png

    • Verify that this icon is active when you go back to drop down menu (select again to disable):

    Just beware when running in Debug mode performance in the GUI is impacted. Remember to turn this off once you have solved your issue.
