View Full Version : "wrong movie" report

Hey,

three things...

I have some deep nested folders sorting my media (media / video / movies / foreign / country / file name) and several of my movies aren't coming up correctly. When correcting the titles, the 'source' text sometimes is cut off and I can't readily identify which exact title I'm looking at (especially sequels). It would be really helpful if there was another field displaying just the file name (likely the title) so it's easy to compare that to the retrieved list.

Also, I haven't found where the titles are being pulled from. I'm assuming it's not an in-house list. And while it's pretty robust, I'd like to be able to either submit to the list or create my own title when I find something missing (say, for "D - The Company" an Indian movie from 2005).

Lastly, I hope that the love it/hate it simplicity of the rating system is an alpha-thing and that in the future there's a plan to add a couple more intermediaries, say "Didn't **hate** it" and "Entertaining" since as terrible a movie as Sharpshooter was, I guess I didn't hate it.

Thanks, I can't wait for this to come out for windows for the simple fact that my TV tuner cards only run fully under windows :-(

oh, I forgot...

If you wouldn't mind keeping this on the radar as well. As to movie listings for foreign films, the database often returns the romanization of the original language only (Lan Tou He for Dirty Ho... even though Dirty Ho happens to be on the pic that pops up). I'd like to be able to put up the English title along with the one that's found either by having them come together in the database or by entering it manually - maybe having a title override field or something.

just a thought... not sure how many users have deep collections of foreign, non-roman alphabet titles.

Thanks
