The scanning process seems to create multiple .nfo files if there are multiple video files in the subfolders, say movies with 2 parts, or trailers or samples. Would it be possible to limit this to one .nfo per subfolder ?

Apparently it does not observe XBMC stacking.

Version 1.041 is now ready - see my sig
Bugfix - actor thumb from previous movie displayed for blank nfo - this should now be definately fixed
Bug fix - "filename :" text showed foldername.nfo instead of filename.nfo when in folder mode
Bug fix - auto-scan should now work properly. I introduced some bugs when I introduced the ability to scan for foldername.
The program will also get all available thumbs from MoviePosterDB. In addition to this, during auto scan, if no tbn file exists then it grabs the first thumb from MovieposterDB instead of IMDB.

Wouldn't it be possible at least for people who use the "folder name" scan option, to assume the folder contains only a single movie and create just one .nfo file ? I am pretty sure alot of people have a structure like this:
Movies / Movie A / part1.avi,part2.avi.trailer.avi etc.

Version 1.042
Now should now only create an nfo for the first part of a multifile movie, additional parts will be ignored.
I think I got most of the popular naming methods, let me know if i've missed any.
It should work in either filename or folder mode.
also filenames containing trailer will be ignored
download via my sig.

BTW, regarding the new version 1.042
multipart movies that have already had an nfo scraped will still display in the movielist combobox.
Just remove the extra nfo files using the delete nfo button, or manually delete via Windows. It will not be re-scraped.
tbn files created for these files will have to be deleted manually.

The multipart thing didn't seem to reliably work here. This is probably due to the fact, that I only have correct folder names but never correct file names - they can be something really random if the source they are from chose to name them something weird. An example where it didn't work:
z:\movies\walk the line
I now have:
walk the line - 1.avi
walk the line - 1.tbn
walk the line - 1.nfo
walk the line - 2.avi
walk the line - 2.tbn
walk the line - 2.nfo
And the movie shows up twice in our application of course. How does your app decide if a movie is a multipart movie, purely by filenames ? If so, what file naming schemes would you suggest ? It is probably best I just start renaming my files because they are a real mess.

I'm having the same problem I posted about in the 'XBMC-DB - seperate nfo files' forum earlier today. The window is so large, I can't see all the fields or buttons. Re-sizing the window doesn't make any difference. My screen resolution is 1024x768. Am I doing something wrong? It does work if i up the resolution to 1280x1024, but that's way small on my laptop screen.
Thanks for ANOTHER much needed piece of software!
Great work!

Ok, after having renamed my movies the program works great and it really saves a TON of time if your have to clean your xbmc database. I am eagerly awaiting support for tv shows, then this will be absolutely perfect. Thanks alot !
What I noticed:
- If I close the app while is is working/scanning the process remains active and a small window pops up every second or so (probably the imdb scanner thread?). I have to close it with the taskmanager in this case.
