[QUOTE="sixgun, post: 1005839, member: 71410"] I'd not even considered pulling any meta data from the files themselves, I am purely using api @ themoviedb.org. The only info I pull from the files are the video resolution/codes/framerate/running time/etc, audio codecs/languages/etc and subtitle info I've just bought myself a "backup" HP microserver and now have a spare HTPC after a recent upgrade, so I'll try and setup another mediaportal "network" to try it out. I've been spending quite a bit of time recently ripping my windows service apart and re-writing it using Test-First, so everything is abstracted and therefore mockable. I have quite a few unit tests in place now making sure it all works, whereas before I relied on testing in manually, which sucked. I've got some ideas on how to handle duplicate/unknown movies which would completely negate the need for any kind of UI around the resolution of such things. But my service works best if the imdb id is embedded within the filename in square brackets. Although there has been one occasion where it couldn't find the movie, but I just added the imdb id to the relevant movie on themoviedb.org.
