I would be hesitant to start Movies till AnotherPhil's return, or atleast the merging of your alpha code into main code base.

One - choosing the XBMC scraper in settings didn't work. The app would scan the whole library, and then on reaching the last item, would error out and go back to the main page.
Two - Scraping movies based on folder names is - for lack of a better word - abysmal. I hate to be the person complaining, and I understand that it is under development, but out of 800+ movies, (in folders, with each folder named the movie title and some movie title plus (year)) I had *maybe* a 20 percent success rate. Not only were the guesses wrong, but they weren't even close. I'm not sure what's throwing it off so badly, but I spent the better part of six hours yesterday manually picking each movie from IMDB by hand. The really odd part is that when you pick the "change movie" dialogue, 99% of the time it searched for the proper movie and had the first result as the correct one.
The interface is awesome and the features are very nice, and if these two were a bit more reliable, I'd be happy to use this on a regular basis.
If there's any info I can provide as to what's going on, I'd be happy to.
Do other media managers have the issue with your movies?
I am using version 3.5.2.1. I haven't used another manager in a while now, but in the past, I've used ember and UMX with absolutely no issues - and my library formatting is very standardized. Every movie in it's own subfolder, subfolder with as close to exact moviename as windows paths will allow, only additional text is in the occurrence of reboot movies with the same title but different years. - multiparts use (CD1, CD2, etc.) As I was trying to start from scratch, I also deleted all the .nfo files for every movie before scanning the folder.
