    Default better tolerance of unrecognized media

    My library has a film called "Carts of Darkness".
    Boxee decided it's "Heart of Darkness".
    My only option (as far as I can tell) is to choose the movie, go to Read More -> Wrong Video? and type the name of the film, which Boxee still cannot find, or remove the video.
    Why must I remove the video, just because Boxee failed to identify it?

    Jebus...
    If you're going to change my thread title for me, can you at least choose a grammatically-correct one?

    Just now I'm noticing that Boxee is playing DJ Shadow's "The Private Press" (from my library) as if it were "Private Parts Soundtrack", even though the files are properly tagged.
    Why does Boxee assume it's the be all and end all of knowledge? I put in time and effort and made sure my music is properly tagged; Why is Boxee ignoring it?
    By the way, it ignores album covers too.

    Basically, Boxee should check the local file(s) before going to the web. That makes more sense for everyone, doesn't it?

    not necessarily.
    the default behaviour should be configurable

    it was a mistake, my friend... we all make them.

    the reason i changed the title is because i moved it to 'requests' as it's not a bug.
    personal: boxee | twitter | boxee hq
    boxee: boxee chat | boxee wiki | boxee plugins

    i run boxee 0.9.20 on: ubuntu 9.10, windows xp sp3 (virtual machine), windows 7 and a neuros link hacked to all hell.

    what super powers does a 'super mod' have? the 'super ban'... that, and laser vision.
