Added Features
Movies HTML output engine has been updated to include most Movie.nfo fields. It also has the ability now to have 2 or more movies side-by-side. The developer (HueyHQ) has also included some example templates - check out the 'Movie card Filter' template for an example of the flexibility now provided by the new additions.
TV Show information can be exported to HTML much the same as Movies Can. Check the 'INFO_HTMLoutputTags.txt' file for details of both the movie & TVShow tags. Thanks again to HueyHQ.
Thanks goes to Playos for adding several major changes to improve the coding of MC
Movie 'Stars' are now scraped
You can now set your own text for the text that is overlayed on the generated offline movies. Use the token '%T' to use the movie title.
Fixes
Fixed Issue #36 - Auto Create Episode Thumbnail Setting now obeys the setting in preferences
Issue#37 Fixed Change IMDB Certification Priorities (Down Arrow)
Stopped Fanart Selection returning to the Main Tab Automatically (note more work needs to be done with the logic relating to the missing filters & the filter tab)
Reordered Movies & TV Menus to be more consistant with each other
Gave a little more room to the Studio field
Quite a lot has changed this week, so theres lots of new features to try & report on.

Cheers
Appreciate all the effort on the updates
Still cant use the xbmc scrapers, if enabled, on this release, MC crashes on the first scan. My folder structure is
Death Hunter (2011) - DVD-Rip
Death Hunter (2011).DVDRip.XviD.avi
Desert Son (2010) - DVD-Rip
Desert Son (2010).DVDRip.Xvid.avi
Fertile Ground (2010) - DVD-Rip
Fertile Ground (2010).dvdrip.xvid.avi
I see it as the scraper doesnt find Death Hunter (2011) and instead of ignoring the error, bombs MC. Up until this point it would return a cant find imdb on title, show a error box with an incomplete imdb url and then crash. Now its just crashing
Maybe some error routines in the scrapers would be wise so we can trace the problem more. I'd love to use the new xbmc scrapers to grab better.
Disabling the xbmc scrapers allows MC to scan in the movies although does have issues with some (incomplete, no fanart etc)
Hope that helps.
