Full Version: Using imdb link files for exact scraping

I did a scraping and there were a lot of missing match because more than one of the same movie name existed in the same year.

Is there a way to help the scraper by putting an imdb link in each folder?

I already put an imdb link in my folders and if tmm could use those to scrap information, that would be great.
In such a case what I'm doing is open Edit Movie window> go to Details 2 tab> enter IMDb id under IDs. 
Then select them all and run scrape force best match command.
tmm then rescrapes them with the right ones.
another idea would be: rather than put an imdb link into the folders, just put the imdb id into a "fake" nfo file (e.g. movie.nfo) in every folder and re-add those movies into tmm.. upon initial importing we also look into other NFO files whether there is a valid imdb ID
Yes, Thank you. I just learned that Kodi does that too. Rather than just the id, I put the full IMDB link in an empty file named movie.nfo. This way, both Kodi and tmm can read them.
