[QUOTE="kev160967, post: 146261, member: 26620"] Hmm, I notice on further playing with the sources that the year and the (imdb) tag are added deliberately, rather than coming back from IMDB. Anyone know why? I can see that the year might appear in the file name (though if it doesn't it's better removed from the movie being tested), but the "(imdb)" surely can't do anything but confuse the matching process? I've made a few changes to the routine: private string StripNameAndIMDB(string title, string search) { if (title.Trim().EndsWith("(imdb)")) title = title.Substring(0, title.LastIndexOf("(imdb)")).Trim(); Regex bracketedYear = new Regex("[(]\\d{4,4}[)]($|.)"); if (search.Trim().Length!=0 && bracketedYear.IsMatch(search)==false) title = bracketedYear.Replace(title.Trim(), ""); return title.Trim(); } I now pass search in to check whether or not the filename has a year in it, and to leave it in the comparison string if it does - pass an empty string in if I'm stripping the filename. I also needed to change the RegExp as it wasn't spotting the year in things like "Movie Name (2005).CD1.AVI", and was consequently removing it from the IMDB result, but leaving it in the filename.
