    Default BRUNO movie not recognized or BRÜNO

    The movie "BRÜNO" is not recgonized by Boxee. When it was ripped the title was BRUNO.iso. It was listed in Boxee's Movie section but there was no Cover Art and the description was wrong.

    I then got the idea the "U" in BRUNO was the problem. The movie is listed in IMDB as BRÜNO. I used MS WORD to create a "Ü" by inserting the special character. I thought I was brilliant! Well, now the movie does not show up at all.

    Anybody have any ideas or just anothre Boxee bug?

    Have you seen the movie? This might be a feature rather than a bug.

    No, I have not seen it. It will probably sit on my hard drive for a long while I thought there was Unrecognized Movie post somewhere but couldn't find it. Thanks for posting it again.

    Maybe this is a dumb idea, but since it tags off IMDB.com, I have been going through my video collection and searching in IMDB, copying the title and year as it is and using that as the file name.

    From here:
    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0889583/
    I copied the name (at the top of the screen):
    Brüno (2009)
    Didn't have to use word to create the umlaut. And renamed my file as
    Brüno (2009).mkv

    And it showed up in my boxee movie list. But I agree with joshuajonah, after watching that movie, not showing up in the movie list is more of a feature.

    thanks. that did the trick. I first just copied Brüno (2009) from your post but Windows 7 didn't like that when I renamed it. I then went to imdb and got the name from there and it worked.
