I think it hasn't been discussed here, but free keys for OMDB API are available since 11/02 : http://www.omdbapi.com
It's working fine with 'omdb.apikey=xxxx' in texturecache.cfg
Unfortunately with a 1,000 daily query limit most users will blow through that just with movies, let alone episodes. A weekly limit of maybe 10K or 20K queries would be more usable. It's better than nothing, but the limit is too low to reliably update a moderately sized library even if you were to update movies on a Sunday and episodes a day or two later.
I forsee issues being reported from users in future asking why the imdb update starts to fail after "a few hundred" successful attempts (answer: API key limit exceeded). I'm probably going to have to code a check that detects when the API query is failing due to the limit and ends the run rather than continue throwing more queries at the site which will all fail.
