[QUOTE="CathodeRay, post: 920793, member: 128074"] Yes, sort of, though it is more of a workaround than a direct solution, but it does have a silver lining. I found a rather good freeware video database called Personal Video Database ([url]http://www.videodb.info/forum_en/[/url]) which crucially has the ability to import from text files and export to MP. You need to modify (or copy and then modify) PVD's text import plugin, which is basically a scraper that goes through text files (such as MP's xml (nfo) files) collecting everything between 'X' and 'Z' and putting it into a PVD field. You then export the records to MP's MyVideos database and Bingo! the data shows up. The silver lining is that if you run PVD as a portable app off a USB stick, you can then run it on another PC that does have an internet connection, and scrape IMDB or wherever and collect loads more data (and images) - if the fancy takes you. PVD also has a very good forum with lots of useful help and advice. Hope that helps! [/QUOTE]
