Great tool! but one problem I have is it appears to forget the settings? I just had to reset everything ? Gen 1 had a SAVE type button iirc in the settings? - just feels a bit more belt'n'braces than dynamic changes?
Also I added some movies to my collection last night and when I re-scan for new movies it only lists on the left hand side the movies that I have just added? how do I get it to show all (600 odd) movies again?

Can i make a request for a feature?
Can you have an option to create nfos for random video files or folders?
I have a bunch of workout videos on my xbmc but it wont find most of them using tv or movies. Would be nice to be able to just pick the avi or iso and be able to point it to your on jpg for a cover icon

This isn't really a bug.. though it could be slightly considered such.
Basically, The regex used for identifying a movie based on file name, I think, needs to be expanded a little. I use the following format for my movie file names: "movie name [year] [imdb code].extension" example: "Scary Movie 27 [2052] [tt0023512].mp4" Despite the fact that I include the correct imdb record number in the file name, incorrect lookups still occur. Any way you can add looking for an imdb record number to the regex please.

also, a question, is there any way to control the order in which XBMC displays records? For example, I want to list movies with multiple "parts" in chronological order in my library view, regardless of their name. A couple good examples would be the Indiana jones movies, or the harry potter movies, non of which include a "part 1", "part 2" etc in their names. I know iTunes accomplishes this with a "sortOrder" metadata field, but I have no idea how to do it in XBMC, if its even possible.

I have been using 3.039 successfully since probably the day it was released. I also continued to use 2.292 successfully to manage TV shows. Then my computer (3GHz Core 2 duo, 2GB mem, 4.5 TB of disks, Win XP SP2) crashed (off). When it rebooted everything seems to work except MC. I have reinstalled 3.039, and it runs with the default config.xml or no config.xml. If I try to run the old config, it starts to run, brings up the panels, and in the main panel on the left it lists the first film and then hangs. It says "not responding" to windows task manager or to other methods of trying to kill it. It will die after that. If I delete config.xml, add one of the 5 movie folders I have to it, config the scraper to put IMDB first and IPA last, and do a media search, if it is in a dir that has new mpg files it will identify all which are missing .nfo files and hang scraping the first one. I tried moving the first in alpha order out of the dir and now it hangs on trying to scrape 1 of 10 instead of at 1 of 11.
If I del the config file and add a folder that has all the movies matched with .nfo files and try to rebuild the movie list, it lists one movie and hangs.
etc.
I have not tried anything with 2.292. Are there any ideas of what might be happening? I have cygwin and perl installed on this computer so I could perhaps use some shell tools or write a perl script that could investigate the .nfo files.
