Is there a way to pick movie from IMDb manually by name without knowing it's IMDb ID? (for manual mode, haven't tried Auto Pilot yet) Something like other programs do, first you enter movie name then choose the right one from list with matched results and that one will MIP get info for. Getting IMDb ID still requires opening a Web browser and manually searching it on IMDb site. I have no problem with this workaround for few movies, but if you need to this for whole bunch of them it's time consuming.
I have a feeling this must be already in MIP, just don't know how can I use it.
Mip will search the imdb and display a list of items to pick from with details on those items.. it's the same search results as if you searched on imdb.
There's also the rename tab which will allow you to rename the movie in the application.
-- does that answer the question?
Skin based tagging support
Skin based tagging support is not enabled by default.. open up the settings and click on Skin based tagging support to enable it.
Run auto-pilot, click on the update media information only to update that portion of the .nfo files, leaving the rest of the file alone.
TV Show updates
if the miptvupdate.exe was running during the update process, it may not have updated that file. What happens when you try to run it?
if it's just that it didn't find new data, and that data was just added, it might be the number of days before downloading new data in the tv show setup.. default is 5 days.. 1 day is pretty much always grab new data each time load shows is clicked, or command line runs.
Quote: could be wrong but I'd imagine it won't update incorrect titles as then you'd lose any custom titles?
off of this though would there be any way with MIP to get a newly added button so you can seen only movies added that session? Would mean you could easily update individual titles/wrong movies easily before scanning into xbmc

good idea, i'll see about adding something to the app for that.. I don't store information about the movies / shows, it's all dynamic when the folder / files are read.. what i can do is put a date/time stamp in the .nfo for creation date/modified date
Correct on the title update part, it has to be refreshed.. this is done so that the customizations are not lost in that file. If nothing is custom at all, you could remove or invalidate the .nfo file.. to invalidate it, just delete some of the xml elements and mip will just pull the id from that file and create all new data.. i think refresh is abit easier.
down arrow and the 0 key on the keyboard make going through the list easier.. also you can Shift + Letter in the list to jump to that area.
Quote:Similar question from me: How do I update all the titles, descriptions and stuff without doing it manually for every movie? I thought it would be the Auto Pilot function but either I'm too stupid to use it or it doesn't work the way I expect it to.
I deleted the imdbcache folder and started Auto Pilot but none of the movies containing a text with the special character problem changed. But when I hit "Refresh" manually it works great.
What am I missing?
I didn't add the option that would allow it to push all new data to the .nfo files, is this something that would be good to have? this would reset all data in those .nfo files
