[QUOTE="solis66, post: 303335, member: 29901"] Hi jiggier Yes, it really should import it here. It's the whole point with this mod, to just enhance the original MyVideos with small improvments like better search. [I]I have not done anything to the original info fetching from internet or how it stores it into the db[/I]. I only modified how it gets the string to search for, filename or foldername, so this should really work.:S The mod works like this: * If you press 'IMDB' on a folder, it thinks this folder contains one movie and searches for a movie file in the folder (not recursive, just this folder). If no file is found, no info is fetched from internet. If a file is found, this file is used as the movie file and the foldername is used as searchstring to get info for this file. For this purpose I added support to exclude files/folders with certain strings. Ex. if you have two files in a folder: sample-terminator.avi and terminator.avi it would pick up sample-terminator.avi as the moviefile (the first found). Therefore it's possible to add 'sample' as an exclude string in the configtool I supplied, ModdedMyVideos, under plugins/process in MP Configuration. * If you press 'scan' on a folder, it scans this folder and all subfolders (recursive) for moviefiles. For every folder where a file is found, it uses the first found file in the folder as moviefile, and its foldername as searchstring for fetching movie info. * If you press IMDB on a file it will fetch info based on the foldername, and if you press 'IMDB on file' it will use the file name as searchstring. As pointed out there is a small bug. If no string is added as 'Exclude from searchstring' there can be an exception in the regexp parsing when scanning info so please add any string ther first, like 'divx, xvid or whatever.:( I will upload a new version any day now... Edit: New files for RC2 and svn20143 avaliable for download [URL="http://code.google.com/p/mixed-projects/downloads/list"]here[/URL] [/QUOTE]
