I keep all of my dvds in video_ts format. Am I correct in assuming that there is no way to make this work since it is only for movies in a single file?

I am trying to do something "different" with this. Since I do not have internet at home I have created an empty text files with names of my movies then saved them with the file extention .mpg. I am then using these files on another computer with XBMC Media Companion 1.221 and internet access to get the movie info. Here is the problem...I am behind a firewall that I have no control over!!!! I am getting this error message every time I scan folders for new movies.
See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.
************** Exception Text **************
System.Net.WebException: The remote server returned an error: (407) Proxy Authentication Required.

Would it be possible to have the software "look" at your browser connection settings and use those? Or have somewhere to enter the connection settings for proxy servers?
Thanks for the help!

one feature i'd like to see is the option to use "folder.jpg" in addition to the .tbn files. it could be in the options or something to just copy the same .tbn as folder.jpg. it helps when not in library mode.

Just a brief update.
I'm still working on adding support for TV shows. It has not been so easy as I first thought. This is the first time I have been forced to use Regular Expressions and I have spent much time scouring the web for useful information.
In addition to this I have also had to figure out thetvdb.com API.
Relatively simple things but doing things for the first time is always a bit daunting.
Anyway, the research is now finished and I have routines in place that will handle filenames for series and episode information. I've pretty much sussed the basics of the tvdb API also.
Just a matter of doing the main coding and integration now.
As for a few of the other suggestions;
create folder.jpg for folder mode will be added in the future
Proxy support - never been an issue for me before, but I will look into it.
apple trailers download - Not sure about this, I have looked at the website and can't think of any way to ensure the correct movie trailer is downloaded. In addition to this trying to dl a .mov file results in a file a couple of Kb big. Any suggestions from people who have experience in this would be appreciated.
I'm seriously looking forward to it.
could an option to "backup" to a single folder for movies/multiple folders for TV shows be accomplished - both nfo files and thumbs? Also, a "restore" function that allows everything from backup to be put back where it belongs in the actual source folders. Keep up the great work!
