Hi iamamoose,

Thanks a lot for your detailed response. I am embarrassed to say that I feel like an eighty year old person when reading it. I don't really understand most of what you wrote, but I am more than willing to learn. Please be patient with me. Here I go:

Here is what I did for xbmc on linux:

log into the box, either use a terminal (alt+ctrl+f1) or remote ssh, or an xterm if you've got that set up under a launcher

When you say "log into the box", do you mean "Open the XBMC program"? By the way, I am running XBMC on a Windows 7 machine. I really don't know what a terminal, ssh or xterm mean... **blushing**

$ sudo su
# cd /usr/share/xbmc/system/scrapers/video/
# mv imdb.xml imdb.xml.old
# wget http://xbmchuscraper.googlecode.com/svn/...t/imdb.xml

Really don't have a clue where to enter that code. However, I noticed that the last line mentions Camelot. I installed XBMC last week, so I may have the version after that. How can I know for sure what version I am running?

Then go back to the GUI and for each item with a blank title, view movie information and hit refresh and hope you get a title.

Do you have to do that for every single one? I have more than 1,000 movies in those discs. Entering the name for each one manually probably takes less than this solution, don't you think? (please remember the the scraper identifies everything, except the name -- cast, plot, poster, fanart, etc.)

But that didn't completely work for me, possibly a UK thing, who knows. So if those steps don't help try editing that imdb.xml file,

# nano imdb.xml

and change the line

<expression trim="1" noclean="1">&lt;h1&gt;([^&lt;]*)</expression>

to

<expression trim="1" noclean="1">&lt;h1[^&gt;]*&gt;([^&lt;]*)</expression>

(hit ctrl+X, say yes to save)

Don't panic if you mess up the file, just do a "rm imdb.xml" and the "wget" line again

I looked at the directory in which XBMC is installed, and I found two different imdb.xml. I opened both with "notepad" and only one of them had the line above. I changed it as suggested, and saved the file. Restarted XBMC, but nothing seems to have changed.

Thanks again for your patience with me on all this. It makes me feel better that it looks like I am not the only one with the problem...

Thanks again,
