Hi neus,

If you look at the code here:

PHP Code:

foreach($moviesRaw->movies as $movie) {
    //Removes "The" from the movies title, for sorting reasons.
    $title = str_replace("The ", "", $movie->label);
    $movies[$title]['id'] = $movie->movieid;
    $movies[$title]['title'] = $movie->label;
    $movies[$title]['filename'] = $movie->file;
    /*
    We need to check certain properties exist before referencing them,
    otherwise a notice will be generated by PHP due to a JSON-RPC error.
    */
    if(property_exists($movie, 'thumbnail'))
        $movies[$title]['thumbnail'] = $movie->thumbnail;
    if(property_exists($movie, 'fanart'))
        $movies[$title]['fanart'] = $movie->fanart;
} 

You can see we have a variable $moviesRaw->movies that contains all of the movies in your library. To reference a particular movie, you would call $movieRaw->movies[x] (where x is the array key), i.e. $movieRaw->movies[0] would show the first movie in your collection.

HTH,

Kai.

It's just small changes that are needed. Here's a diff output:

I wrote a simple wrapper for CodeIgniter aswell, if someone is interested. Just let me know here (it's on another computer).
