Can you add a scrollbar for the "Current Icon Fullsize" if the window dimensions are larger than the screen? Thataway you can see the entire poster when they're bigger than 768 pix...
might be doable, I'll have to finish up some other areas of the gui before trying that one, design mode of the form is a mess.. here's a screen shot to show you what I mean ... at the bottom you'll see where I'm trying to get the new download dialog information to be displayed, which blocks most of what I see in designer

This is all programmed in .net, right? I've been thinking about downloading visual studio and tinkering a bit. Maybe I can help more than just making suggestions/requests...
It's been a while since I've done full-blown programming, but I do know how.

The test build will not work, I missed something in the season number check.Code:s(\d{1,2})_[-EeXx]([0-9]+)
I'll have a build posted later tonight that will work for you.
D'OH..should've seen this earlier...I've been messing around with the regex and looking at the debug logs to try and figure why it wouldn't work.
Right now, it appears to pick up the season and the episode numbers right but doesn't generate the episode nfo's. Am I missing something in the configuration ?

@fekker,
How exactly do the regex's work? I'll document that today.
Mono porting progress? - Gamester17 - 2009-01-20
@fekker, could we get a status report on Mono support?
Did the Mono Migration Analyzer (MoMA) too help with it?
Have you looked anything at the MonoDevelop IDE?
BTW, Mono 2.2 has been released on the 13th of January.

I think in Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Express (free) IDE

Quote:This scraper API should in theory only require that you first integrate basic XML parser and Perl Compatible Regular Expression (PCRE RegEx) parser into Movie Info Plus (which I assume already exist and if so only a hook should be needed), and then you will have to convert XBMC's ScraperParser.cpp from C++ to VB.NET code in order for Movie Info Plus to use it nativly.If so then also checkout:
You can download the XBMC source code from the SVN, instructions can be found here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/xbmc
The existing scapers can be found in the SVN under "/branches/linuxport/XBMC/system/scrapers/"
(Please note that IMDb.xml is the best scraper of these to use as a reference).

Okay, got a chance to play with folder-level setup a bit. I noticed a few problems.
One, automatic file renaming doesn't apply to folder level? Created a file called "an.american.haunting.jambo.avi" and put it in the folder-level directory. MIP detected the program and pulled the proper IMDB info. It also downloaded the poster and created folder.jpg/tbn's. But it failed to find any fanart for the movie.
So, I renamed the movie to "An American haunting.avi", reloaded the movie, and still nothing scrapes for fanart.
I also created a file in folder-level called "The Last Samurai.iso". Selected it in download mode, and it only found IMDB info and TMDB posters for this one. The filecounter told me it had found posters from Impawards, but it didn't cache anything. No fanart either.
I clicked the moviename again, and the program then cached the fanart and IMPawards posters.
To continue my test, I then made a brand-spanking-new file, called it "Batman Begins.avi". Loaded movies, clicked on Batman Begins, and everything came out perfect.
Odd...lemme know if you need more info.

Have you looked anything at the MonoDevelop IDE?
I'm waiting on Mono Dev 2 IDE, I have started the skeleton gui for MIP in mono, there's some things that I can't do, but I've found ways to get a similar result without the addons i use in the vb version. (like hiding tabs, disabling tabs, etc), debugging under the Mono IDE is nowhere near as robust as Visual Studio, so i've got to actually write the testers and use them instead of on the fly (or seat of the pants) coding.
Quote:I wonder if it also doesn't use XBMC scrapers? or will soon?I looked at the scrapers and tried to implement a test case of them, xbmc's code that is used for them is very complex and seems to have a bunch of gui ties. I fear it's beyond my skills, but will still try to get it going.

Sounds good. Any more major changes to the GUI? I'm re-writing the documentation to reflect the changes made in the main window and settings area. Plan on doing the full TV section later today as well...

the only thing that might go away is the download dialog, but have some additional tests to run before deciding on that one.

Good. Because I've already started generating image maps for the TV section, which, as it is, has an entry for each level of TV editing. I'm just getting started on it now. Explaining every nuance of a rather complicated program can be quite tricky, especially when you don't necessarily know what everything does.
Great program but 1 problem - jetskijoe - 2009-01-20
So I have a movie in a folder that looks like: 100 Tears (2007)
before I ran MIP I had:
tears-vh-prod.avi
tears-vh-prod.nfo
tears-vh-prod.tbn
folder.jpg
Now I have:
100 Tears (2007).avi
100 Tears (2007).nfo
100 Tears (2007).tbn
folder.jpg
movie.nfo
movie.tbn
tears-vh-prod.nfo
tears-vh-prod.tbn
Is there any way to rename or delete my old nfo and tbn?
tears-vh-prod.nfo
tears-vh-prod.tbn
Also I was wandering if it is possible to rename no standard nfos to .info or something like that?
BTW great program and I look forward to trying new builds
Thanks
Joe

The rev I am working on now has much better support for existing .nfo's, renaming, file and folder level scanning, and a ton of changes that i've been debugging for the past few days. Everything is looking good, and it will be available very soon.
old .nfo files will be renamed if they match the name of the movie (i.e. foldername or filelevel name).
There's a link at the bottom of MIP to open the folder the movie is in, I find this handy to clean up extra items that are left over. I don't automatically remove anything unless it matches up exactly with the movie name or is a corrupted image file, those are best left to the user as I can't know what was wanted and what was not.

I've uploaded a test build of MIP, rev 2419
You must uninstall the old version of MIP first,the installer does not remove the cached data (all the stuff it's already downloaded)
Please report any bugs or issues
Key changes.. allows both folder and file level scanning of movies. To use this you must setup the folders under settings. I think I've got it pretty straightforward in the GUI, but the short description would be, using folders, put the root folder in the top box, same as always, have a folder full of different movies, put that folder in the second box.
Automatic poster, fanart, nfo creation, all based on settings, which have all been reworked.. auto-pilot should now work correctly to automatically setup your movies, the poster, fanart and .nfo file. Pre-cache should also be fixed now, there is a new precache option for tv shows, don't use it if you have 512mb ram or less, you'll hit the pagefile and run out of memory fast. It cuts the download time by 70%+ but consumes the pc
There's literally so many changes that I can't list them all (and I didn't keep notes). I tested it against my samples and testers, as well as some user generated test cases, give it a whirl and report back on errors, or if it has no errors.
Also added, custom regex support for tv shows, there's a box under settings where you can enter it, regex group 1 is the season, group 2 is the episode.. if you use this, you'll need it on xbmc as well or your shows will not show up.
If you have a number in your tv show name after the season/episode data, change the filename, this will cause a problem when it's scanned into xbmc, you'll see duplicate shows listed and the count will be off.
If image tagging is freaking out, reduce the margin size, it's best on posters, and images that are larger then the tag image that will be applied to it. There's some rework needed to the tagging, but it does work with the defaults on posters for movies for me.. the scale is based on height, so wide images, that are small in size seem to give odd results, sometimes.. you can test it without applying in the configuration of the tagger dialog.
For Wine users: There is a new component factory dll in this build, so it may be better already, or worse
please give it a try and report back.

I get an error each time I click on the "Save Movie Changes" button similar to the following:
Could not find a part of the path 'X:\New Movies\Batman\'.
