[QUOTE="chefkoch, post: 340278, member: 10438"] At first: Thx for all your replies, this helps to find out, what we want and we don't need/want. I understand the problem how you described it, but I have a few questions: [LIST] [*]The unique serial number is used to identify each disc, so it doesn't matter which content is on that disc? What happens if you have a movie as DVD and one as HD-DVD? Will both disc IDs attached to that movie or will it be imported twice? [*]When the disc id is identified, i assume the online resource will return a imdb id, or it's own db id. Would it be possible to check whether that id does already exist in the list of "batch imported movies"/"Movies without discs"? If so that entry can be used, the disc id attached, and it will be removed from the "batch imported movies"-list. [/LIST] Yep, it would increase the complexity on the code side. Maybe this could kept as small as possible. But for the user interface, this feature could be almost invisible. The definition file can be placed in one of the import paths and the importer keeps an eye on it like on the other video files. For the user each entry of the file is visible as an entry. [/QUOTE]
