from what i can tell, if a scrape fails to identify a movie the movie shows in the library with a default movie icon but you are unable to play it, when you click it you get a prompt to re-enter the movie name so that it can be scraped into the library - is there a way to get around this, so that the movie will play anyway when you click it and also allow you to add artwork to it? maybe some sort of "blank" movie template that can be used?

Nope, that does not happen. If a scrape fails, it does not get added to the library.

You might want to see this link, NFO files/Movies (wiki) and I hesitate, given all the examples https://nfo-maker.com/

as mentioned earlier, not interested in nfo files, but the two scrapers you listed look promising...

doh, looks like justusethefilename is defunct, too bad given it seems to do exactly what i was asking about earlier, scraping a file into the library even if it can't be found by other scrapers.... hopefully stupid movie database scraper works, it seems to be roughly the same animal as jutfn.... thanks again.
