[QUOTE="doveman, post: 812691, member: 67412"] I was wondering if there's any way to make all the different movie utils/plugins share the same images for movies? At the moment, I have AMC, MyFilms, MovingPictures and Videos all with their own collections of images. Perhaps they use different, incompatible naming schemes or something so it's not possible to have a common folder for the images, but it seems like it would be nice if this was possible. Also, does anyone have a good way of importing movies into AMC? My files tend to be named moviename (year).avi or moviename (year) [director's cut].avi, so I used phillipe's suggestion [url=http://forum.antp.be/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=229]here[/url] to strip off everything but the moviename and create .film files, and then the .avi and .film can be dragged into AMC and that seems to work fine, but it's no good if movies are in subfolders or already burnt to DVD. Obviously with files already on DVD, it's not possible to create .film files alongside them, so I'm thinking there's probably a way to do something like combine sed with dir /s to create a text file which can then be imported into AMC. Ideally I need something that will recognise (year) as the year and create a text file like: moviename, year moviename, year so that when it's imported into AMC both the name and year will be there, which should improve the accuracy of scraping the details. The only downside with this approach is I won't get the audio, video, bitrate information from the file, so if there's a better way than can get that info as well that would be great, but if not just getting the name and year would be a big help.
