Hi All. I've tried searching but i haven't found a answer to this question. Is it possible to apply a custom filter to the file names being sent for search (at IMDB.com)?
I have adopted a standard filename scheme a while ago that has the movie name and at the end a underscore and the imdb id number.
Example:
Aliens.vs.Predator_tt0758730.avi
This allows other software i have written to always find the correct item at imdb.com for descriptions, etc.
Problem is, the entire string of title + imdb # often fails the search thru XBMC. If i edit the title being searched to be just the imdb number (tt0758730 in my example) it always gets the right data in XBMC from IMDB.com. I was hoping somewhere i could apply a regular expression/filter to only pass the IMDB number to the scraper/movie details import code.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
thanks!
