where the nfo contains within it the IMDB ID
But that is exactly why Im using MC, so I don't have to do that all again manually, since I have already provided all that info.
I've already gone through my library and corrected everything, so no point putting together a perl script or some such to do that now, but the point is, the exact record number is already in the file name. Why not use it? I know I'm not the only one to use a naming system similar to this, as this exact request was made to me by several people when I wrote iDentify.
Apparently there are also people out there who use only the imdb code as a file name (tt123456.mp4). Im sure this would work fine with your system, as an imdb search with nothing but the record number willl always yeild the correct result, but I prefer to have my file a bit more identifiable by humans without having to refer to some outside source first.
