I would prefer to be able to make it by my own. I have been studying some of the scripts, but cant make it to work with another webs

the fanart support is appreciated

would it be possible to have it pick up the fanart art by IMDB number instead? It should be more precise this way and the fanart will always display even if we alter the title of the movie.

Please, think about users who don't use IMDB !!!
That plugin isn't base on IMDB but on AMC and a great functionality of that software is to be open : you can choose with AMC scripts on which site you grab informations. So if you don't use IMDB, you don't have the unique IMDB number for your movies...

this makes sense.

may i add a feature request in this case? - to provide an option for MyFilms to alternatively look for the fanart by IMDB number? thanks.

As discussed here earlier about the "Grabber" options. I'm not sure what to do...
Grabber option first > Grabber used, Grabber file (Is this my database file?)
AMC Updater options > AMC Updater used, Amc updater exe, Amc config file (What about the config file, which file is this?)

The Grabber option and AMC Updater option -They are linked right? It's not 2 different programs?

Grabber file isn't your xml database but the xml file parameter for grabbing (URL,search string). For each site, you'll get a parmeter file. Some sites are already written. I link for you those files.

AMC Updater Config file : When you use AMCUpdater, you have to define some parameters (path to scan, database xml file, field to manage....), those parameters are saved into a Config File. The Config file can be passed in batch mode to retrieve all the parameter's values. To have that Config file, launch AMCUpdater in Interacrive mode, fill all parameters as you need and save the Config file (File->Save Config File). Give then in the Setup the Config file created.

grabber is a dll file, and his purpose is to grabb Internet Movie Datas with a parameter file. AMCUpdater use that dll as myfilms to grabb those datas.
grabber is used in MyFilms to update one particular Movie (Key F9 in main screen and button Update on detail).
for a whole database update, MyFilms launch AMCUpdater in batch mode.

You can use as you want the 2 update options or only one or none...

Okay if we assume, i got it correct setup in MyFilms. Where should i be able to view the menu for this inside MediaPortal? I can't find it anywhere? (Ps. I'm running Monochrome theme...)

Is there any tutorial about making grabbers?
In the xml grabber files are expressions like x002F, x003E, etc. I think they are associated to characters. Is there any list with the associations?
TY

There is a program (Grabber_interface) developped by the same author as the grabber (titofit).
For the moment I think he doesn't want to diffuse the program. But ask to him (I can also developp grabbers files) if you want a particular site.

I found the plugin at the mp-fr forum, but I dont have permission to download it.I dont know the reason, as I dont speak french.

For upgrading a particular movie :

• F9 on the main screen
• Update menu on the detail screen

For updating the whole database (AMCUpdater) :

• Change view Menu

Try this one. If you don't use Grabber_Interface, it's very difficult to create manually a new script.

Thanks again. The script works perfect.
Only one thing: it extracts the country from the name of the flag picture. That name are only 2 letters (us.jpg, es.jpg, fr.jpg,...).
I modified it so now import the country of the title="..." expression... and works!!! I attach it
I will try to make the second script lol

Okay i tried just to use the AMC Update feature you described.. When acivating it from mediaportal, it got the name "6" in Change view menu... (Wird there is no describtion for the "6" menu mark, just the number. All the other number 1,2,3 etc got descriptions. But not the 6)
When i press menu number 6, i got an error with AMC Updater stopped working!?
