Hi *,
I added an option to get my movies tagged with IMDB. It's basically working (see pictures attached) but still needs some fine tuning I think.
Cheers,

BTW, it's quite slow ATM, see attached log output (50s for 20 IMDB items).

Looks good, and 20 in 50s is still a lot faster then I can do manually.  |

I just tried the first IMDB PHP library I found ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/imdbphp/) and it works well.  |

If you open a ticket I'll patch it into the 0810 branch so it could be included in the next alpha update.

Very nice! Now if we could also get IMDB used when a DVD is ID'd on insertion into a drive.... Great work. All the best Andrew |

Andrew, IMDB does not have this info, and unfortunately DVD fingerprints of the type that the EMI emits are very specific to itself and its endpoint.
This is a much tougher nut to crack than would first appear, especially since almost nobody has this information. If you'd like, I can explain the problem in more detail...

Hi Tom, I understand the DVD fingerprint problem. What I am interested in is the much richer data available from IMDB about each movie. It may be that a hybrid solution is possible where we allow the DVD to be ID'd using the EMI then we use that data to query the IMDB. This would be deliver a massive improvement in the attribute data per DVD. As far as i can see this is technically feasible. What your view? All the best Andrew |

Yes, this could be done, We might want to augment the media identifier stuff to be able to query more than one media identifier.. It seems to only work with a single media identifier device.
*hmm* too much to do.

Yeah... just need to add it too the list ;-) Your already doing more than your share Thom. Anyone else up for looking at this and then getting it into shape if it looks doable? Andrew |

Freyman, if you are referring to the IMDB code please be patient. I'm still cleaning up a few things and will prepare a patch soon. |
