While playing around trying to figure out how to make imdb do this automatically, the following filename worked:
50%2F50.(2011).x264.1080p.mkv

(2F being the hexadecimal code for /. And with % being used to escape weird characters in URLs, imdb decodes it)

Are there any suggestions as to what I can put in the file name for it to be found, or any suggestions on how to tell XBMC to search for "50/50" rather than "50 50"?

Just go to manage and change the name with the slash you need then go to information slide click same director and it will give you more options depending on the movie tittle according to the internet you select the one you need and thats it

Hi @cucggie
Please take note of the date of the posts you respond to. I think after 9 years, the user probably found the solution. Smile

Thanks.
