[QUOTE="Lehmden, post: 1236202, member: 109222"] Happy New Year. You can use whatever name you like, if you add the tt number (IMDB-ID) to the file name. E.G. "2001 - A Space Odyssey (tt0062622).mkv" or "2001 (tt0062622).mkv" or similar. All this is working. You also can use .nfo files containing all the metadata of the movie. Then the file name is completely up to you as long as the .nfo is named like the corresponding video file (2001.mkv needs 2001.nfo). And as a third option, you can use MKV with metatags (same as ID3 tags for music). MP2 is supporting Matroska metatags since a long time already... As long as you do at least one of the above, the movie will be matched 100%... Sorry, but we are not using IMDB as data source. IMDB is commercial, not localized (you can not load metadata in French or German or...) and also it has many movies the rest of the data is poor (e.g. fanart support). As long as you don't have .nfo files (they are preferred over online data) the metadata is grabbed from TheMovieDB. TMDB supports the "tt" numbers also it has it's own ID system... [/QUOTE]
