I wrote a program a while back to add my own entries into the video database. I did this as I wanted my TV series type shows to show up with proper titles so I could see the season and episode name and such.
Anyway, the database format has changed recently so I made changes to my program yesterday. I can now enter my shows into the database and they show up correctly. I can also play them fine.
However, if I select a show and try to get the movie information, the keyboard pops up and asks me to change the movie name. It then trys to search IMDB for the movie.
I do not understand why this is happening, from all I can see, my manual entries are exactly the same as the automated entries that are a result of a scan of my movie collection. I did update the genrelinkmovie tables but I did not bother with the director or actor links. However I did fill in the plot, tag line, rating and all other fields similar to the auto scan entries.
Does anyone have an idea why mine manual entries will not show up?
Also, the Movie table has a URL to the thumbnails on IMDB site but there is a thumbnail directory that has file names that have a hex number and an extension that I can not remember. What is the linkage between the video database and these pictures in the thumbnail directory?
Thanks for any help you can suggest.
