Very nice initiative! I also have an input:
It would be really nice to make it download movies in a smart way and totally independent of inputs, like sickbeard does for series. of course for movies it is less straightforward. One possible way i have in mind would be the following:
The program scans a release website (i.e. a (not-warez!!) website that posts scene releases) for new posts/movies. When it has found a new item, it should go through a boolean challenge, e.g. download=true if imdbscore>6 and imdb_numberofvote>1000 and....
The advantage of scene release websites compared to nzb sites is that only new releases are posted and by category (dvdrip/TS etc), while on nzb sites the movies are posted multiple times and categories are mostly xvid, which can be multiple formats.
An exemple of such a website: scenereleases.info
I think (but not completely sure) ember media managers also works with a command line. This could be run afterwards to get fanart, trailer, etc...
Do you think this would be feasible (on long term offcourse).

Sickbeard for movies (..and music albums) pretty much sums up what I want.
Being able to automatically download movies with particular actors or directors would be nice indeed.
I know this would be a lot of coding effort however..

So i finally got around to installing it...
My very 1st test was unsuccessful because when adding a movie, you use the
original title on IMDB instead of the title in our country/language.
This will be a problem for lots of foreign movies as a lot of NZBs are released
under the english name.
Also, some people may want to download a movie in their own language so they
won't look for Brooklyn's Finest but rather Gesetz der Straße.
One way to do this is to select the title we wish to use outta all the available
title on IMDB just like where you say select the right movie, select the title.
The movie i used that made me find the bug was RoboGeisha. It is released as
RoboGeisha [International (English title)] but it is added to the movie manager
as Robo-Geisha [Japan (original title)]

So i added 5 movies including one that i know is on NZBs.org right now and was
released 12 days ago.
Did the force search for all movies and the force search for that specific movie
but it didn't find anything.
The movie is Platoon (1986) in 1080p

I'll look into the alternative/foreign movie titles. It uses the MovieDB as default btw, I'll check out if they have an alternative title list or something..
Adding a movie does a "force search" for that specific movie, so forcing a search just after adding it isn't necessary..
Platoon 1080p does download here. Did you configure your SABnzbd connection correctly? Check the log file.
Thanks for the feedback!
edit:
Tried adding RoboGeisha (720p), which is found just fine. Any other movies that don't work for you?
