[QUOTE="Lehmden, post: 1249930, member: 109222"] Hi. Here they definitely are (and always was ever since support for the sorttitle tag was build into MP2 some years ago) as I'm using the "sort by sorttitle" filter instead "sort by title" as you did. This is exactly as in Moving Pictures. If you don't use the "sorttitle" tag there then you also will have those movies cluttered all over the place..... Here the "official" grouping on TMDB is not like all Marvel movies in one group. You have the "Iron Man" movies grouped together, the "Captain America" Movies grouped together, the "Avengers" Movies grouped together, ... If you want them all grouped in one group, you need to correct this by hand. Similar is for Star Trek movies as example. But you need to "fix" this by hand in MovingPictures too, if you want this to be changed. In which way? Are they not scrapped as movies or are they scrapped with different media infos than you may expect? The first is a file naming issue as a movie "Avatar SBS 3D 1080p DTSHD-MA AVC" is not existing on IMDB or TMDB. If you need all those extra things (for me this only is garbage and I'm removing this asap) you need to add the IMDB- ID (tt number) to the filename somehow. Similar like "Avatar (tt0499549) SBS 3D 1080p DTSHD-MA AVC.mp4" or so.. The media info themselves are directly read from the video file so it did not matter at all, what you add to the naming. If you append 1080p to a 720p video filename it still is recognized as 720p.. This only happen if you set up MP2 language preferences wrong or if there is no German description available on TMDB (IMDB never has localized descriptions). English always is used as "Fallback", no matter what your settings are... That's why some descriptions only appear in English. Moving pictures didn't recognize a single series episode at all... If a series episode is not properly recognized then it can have 3 reasons. Reason 1 you didn't name the episode as you should. Reason 2 this episode is not yet available on TVDB or TMDB. 3. Reason TVDB was down at the time you've tried to scrap the episode (sadly this happens very often) or your internet had a hickup or similar. How to name video files properly is described in the Wiki, if you are not sure how you should name your files... If you really prefer an external GUI for this you better use tools like tinyMediaManager or Media-Buddy or similar which are making a great GUI for media maintenance, even much better than MovingPictures settings. Opposite to MP1 you even can use them in MP2 for series too, not only for movies... The big advantage of those tool is, you only need to do the (sorting, scrapping and maintaining) work one time only and can use it in whatever HTPC program you may use today or tomorrow, excerpt for MP1 TVSeries.
