thank you guys for this magnificent piece of software. i have
only one problem. one time its working as advertised and the
next time i fire MIP up and load 2 new movies, MIP cant find
those movies @ imdb.
for instance.
if i scrape high.plains.drifter.1973.dvdrip.xvid-rlle with XBMC
internal scraper, the movie is found on imdb. when i try doing
the same thing in MIP, no data could be found. and that keeps
manifesting with more and more movies i add to my database.
i did a few reinstalls, upgrades to latest versions, but MIP simply
(or rather imdb scraper or whatnot) refuses to co-operate. the
only time MIP is working fine is when i deinstall it, install latest
patch, configure MIP from the start and reload all of my movies.
and thats just once. next time i open MIP, no imdb data can
be found for majority of movies i try to import.
for instance, yesterday i had abovementioned problems with this
movie: Hedwig.And.The.Angry.Inch.2001.DVDRip.DivX.AC3-RSE.
first, MIP said no imdb data found. i reinstalled MIP, applied latest
patch yet again, opened MIP, loaded my movies, clicked on that
movie and voila. info, posters, fanart, you name it. working like
a charm!
whats the problem? am i missing something? i tried fooling around
with "replace . or _ with space", but that didnt help. so, instead of
manually opening IE and going to imdb website, copying imdb number
into MIP, refreshing the info and doing so for the next 600 movies,
can someone, please, help me because its darn frustrating for a
program to work once and then fail to do so next time.
also, before this problem started manifesting, i successfully imported
over 100 movies. if i had a movie with a ' missing in its name, of course
imdb cant find no data, thats obvious. but high plains drifter would
have been found then, no doubt. now im stuck with MIP and its
practically useless, beause i have to manually find imdb number for
the exact movie, enter it manually in MIP etc etc. too much of a hassle,
sorry.
also, the window that openes "when MIP cant find the right movie"
for me opened only twice, maybe three times so far. wtf? and thats
after i upgraded to latest version. i closed MIP, opened it again and
i never saw that window again. wtf?
thank you for you time and help. xbmc rocks!

I see that XBMC now supports scraping info by aired date.
Am I correct in assuming that MIP does not yet support this? Fekker went dark before this happened in XBMC, yes?
Assuming that it isn't supported, would you say the best way to use it for now would be to just add a "noscan" file to the appropriate show folders and let XBMC do its thing? Right now Colbert Report and Daily Show are a mess for me.

Please enter a feature request on sourceforge and/or pm me that request (url in .nfo file)
mip scrapes by episode number, please add a detailed feature request with example on sourceforge and i'll add in the feature when I'm back.
I'll fix whatever needs fixin as soon as I can, if it's on the defect list on sourceforge, that's the first place i look.
It's going to be a few weeks yet before i can get back into the swing of things, have alot going on that requires my attention at this point.
In a few weeks i'll get out a patch and also get UMM going
thanks for everyone helping out each other, and specifically digitalhigh while i'm getting things back in order, it seems when life puts ya to the test, it has no bounds.

I apologize if this has been answered, but I was unable to find any info on it (searching Alt titles brought up very little, and titles far too much).
When using MIP, I don't seem to be able to save any info in the Alt Title section. It stays until I close MIP, but then is gone. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Well, it would appear that I'm either terrible at using this program, or terrible at reading directions (or perhaps both). I have now finished entering the information for all of my movies, but when I reload the source into xbmc, only some of the thumbs (posters) are recognized. The plot info that I've changed appears in xbmc, so I think it's reading the nfo's. And the correct thumbs appear when the movies are loaded into MIP. I've tried deleting the myvideo34 and thumbnail files from xbmc, but it hasn't helped. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance, and sorry to trouble you guys with noob questions and rookie mistakes.
