It works great on Live Gen3, but the synopsis of the movie get's stuck on only one line scrolling very fast.

Anyone more has experienced this?

Any solution for this?

It wasn't working for any movie, the latest one was A Monster in Paris but installing the latest one everything seems to be working again

Hi Thanks for the great WDTV tool.  I'm having a slight issue with my movies folder and was wondering if you can help.

Any movie that it finds that has a ":" e.g "Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy" the program seems to rename it as "Anchorman- The Legend of Ron Burgundy" so it looks as though its replacing the ":" with a "-".

Is there anyway around this as I would prefer to have just a space instead of the "-" character immediately after the first word of the film.

Any help appreciated and keep up the great work 

Edit : I am currently using version 2.1.1

Would be great if this program could handle tvdb episodes in DVD order and if it could handle specials.

I know there is another program on here that can do that but it doesn't rename my files like this program so it just causes me a lot of work.

Would it be possible to get the tool to support airing order?

For example Star Trek TOS - There is a DVD and an airing order. I'd like to be able to tell the tool which set to use, because if your files are named for the wrong type, you'll get the wrong XML for each episode.

Oh yeah, For some reason it has issues with a file named "Terra Nova S01E12-13" - finds everything else that season, and the episode does exist in tvdb.....

Otherwise, awesome tool - lovin using it!

NoSlack, just a quick thanks on the new release 2.1.1. I am so happy that the IMDB overide now works. I collect older (classic ) movies and they are all on IMDB but some are missing from TMDB. In the past I was writing my own XML file and then finding pics for the covers, doable but a pain. Now, it works great.

I finaly got around to ripping my Charlie Chan collection which is over 40 movies, and around 5 were not in TMDB, so adding the the IMDB# solved my issue perfectly. Thanks for all the hard work,  I love your app, it's the only one I use for TV and movies.

NOTE: I did come across one move that was in IMDB, that even entering the #, HubGen was unable to comeup with the the data, not sure why. Not a big deal as I just made the XML for it, but I found it interesting that HubGen could not pick up the IMDB #.

Movie: Eran Trece (1931)

IMDB#: tt0132118 (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0132118/)

For some reason HubGen doesn't like that one and wont scrape the data, but like I said above, a real minor issue based on the Hundreds of movies and TV series that your app has worked great on.

Thanks for all the hard work and I love the new version

Awesome piece of software :-)

Just one question: is there any way to specify the resolution of the backbrops that get linked to in the .XML?

Even better, could an option be added in order to link to local files and download the backdrops (directly into the movie folder, for instance).

Thanks and keep up the good work :-)

[Ardvark]

I dont think there is a resolution option - the images are basicly thumbnails being blown up. Each episode only has 1, so in all honesty I'd prefer an option to gather all the screenshots for a season and attach them all to every episode (perhaps in a random order so the image changes when moving between episodes?) - the only other options would be A.) get tvdb to include more and higher quality images per-season, or B.) use a secondary source for backdrops.

Hi, NoSlack913

Is development still active on this? If so, what's in the pipeline for future releases?

Also, is there any way to donate? :-) In my book, you sure have earned it.

Thanks in advance!
