[QUOTE="MJGraf, post: 1164595, member: 17886"] Well, that's just a question how smart our MDEs are. Sure, you will get the best results if you pre-sort your media files. But it can work differently: Imagine that we have a [U]video[/U] file for which the MusicMDE finds information on MusicBraniz - must be a music video... I think as long as people like we are able to pre-sort the media files and get a 100% match, there should still be the possibility for those who don't and make the best out of it. I even think that this will be THE feature that in the future distinguishes a successful media application from an unsuccessful one. I have a music file collection and Amazon Prime (now with music). I sometimes just don't care where the music comes from. Someone is sitting in my living room and telling me a about this great song with name xyz. In this situation I don't care where the music comes from - I want to hear it. And if I can just use MP2 and say "play that song", it should just play that song if it can get it from any source that is accessible. If I have it as FLAC from my own CD, it should play that one because of the quality. But if it isn't available locally, it should try to get it from Amazon Prime as mp3-stream and if that doesn't work, try to play a music video from youtube with that song. That's at least in my opinion the future of a media application. Yep. TheMovieDb does provide series as well. But we use the "/movie" method of the API to get our information and this method only returns results if the IMDB-ID provided is for a movie. If you want to get information on series, you need to use the "/tv" method, which we currently don't use. I don't have plans, yet (mostly due to lack of time). But in any case, this would require extensive changes to OnlineLibraries, which I would postpone to after the MIA rework... As to the topic above: Thinking and experimenting a bit more, parsing just for IMDB-ID will likely only work for movies. The reason is that there are two "types" of IMDB-IDs: There is an IMDB-ID for the whole series (e.g. tt0944947 for "Game of Thrones") and one IMDB-ID for each episode of that series (e.g. tt1480055 for season 1, episode 1 of "Game of Thrones"). TheTvDb can handle the series-IMDB-ID - but then we don't have a season or episode number, so this one alone doesn't help us. But TheTvDb cannot handle the episode-IMDB-ID - so this one won't help us either... So for now I'll only implement the movie part of it... [/QUOTE]
