Hi

Now a new WindowPlugin.dll is compiled. It's build on svn 18560.

Now you can update the moviedatabase with foldernames instead of filenames.

This means only one movie/folder of course...

If there are more than one file in the folder,it uses the first file found as reference. (If more than one, they should be stackable, otherwise they are ignored).

Remember that no files can be in a rootfolder or mixed folder since it will only see one and it will be added like "My Movies" or something.

Updates:

From inside MP (not configuration) at the context menu, choose IMDB on a movie  and a search will be done on foldername that the movie is inside.

Choose scan on a folder instead and a scan will be done recursively from the choosen folder.

Other changes: (mostly for my own needs)

A . is added to stacking options so also files like movie.cd1 and .cd2 will be stacked (not only _- or 'space').

FileStackingDialog is removed (you will not be asked which file to play when movie consists of multiple files). Who will start watching at part 3??? (resume an interrupted movie works of course).

Theese changes can be configured in MediaPortal.xml if some behaviour is not wanted, but default behaviour is like mentioned above. Just add some of the red lines to get another functionality

<section name="movies">

<entry name="searchIMDBbyFolder">yes</entry>

<entry name="showDlgFileStacked">no</entry>

<entry name="repeat">yes</entry>

<entry name="markwatched">yes</entry>

...

Try it and see if it works properly, backup the original dll and download the new one here.

Now i will try to do this (Add movie by foldername) as a standalone plugin.

It will propably include more options, like auto add new movies. Suggestions aprreciated.

Enjoy.

Edit: 080408 The dll is now handling imagefiles (iso,img...) and uses their folder name for searchquery, and does not automount the image
