I have not yet subscribed to omdapi, but if I do how do I add the apikey to this plugin as there seems to be nowhere to enter it?
Thanks

Sorry I have not been around for a few days.
Once you become a Patron, you should receive your apikey via e-mail.
Here is what I did to get it to work using my apikey:
1. go to the folder script.imdbupdate/resources/lib
2. Edit the file imdbMovie.py
3. Around line 24 (at least that is the line number for me, using Notepad++), you will find a line like this: url="http://omdbapi.com/?i=%s" % self.__imdbID
4. Change it to look like this: url="http://omdbapi.com/?i=%s&apikey=xxxxxxxx" % self.__imdbID
5. Save the file.
Of course, replace xxxxxxxx with your actual api key.
I am not a python programmer yet, nor am I the author of this script. Ideally, the script would have a setting where you can enter your api key and then it would use it.
I hope others find this useful.
Regards,
Bart

Can it not be changed to just pull the data from imdb instead of a 3rd party? There must be a way to keep it free?
