Okay, got it up and running on XP. Puzzled as to why there's so many IMDB files being dumped to the drive vs doing a lookup for just what is needed. Many buttons coming up unlabeled and some sections of the display squeezed enough that I cannot read the text. I do like that I can apparently sift out those movies without an NFO or icon or something but that section is a bit squished so I am having to be careful about what buttons I click or actions take lest I kick off something I won't want and cannot stop. TV shows also seem to be greyed out in the install I've got here. I have tried both the very latest I mentioned a moment ago and the Dec 3rd release so far. Potential for sure, really a needed tool IMO!

Key items
TV Show MutliEpisodes in one file - Tested and working with the latest svn build of XBMC (unsure of svn number, jesters dec 29th version), should work for all svn's after 16387 .. xbmc doesn't like my test file, it seems to load the data twice, from the .nfo file and then again with the .avi file (tested with a 0k file called Copy of chuck.s1e1e2e3.avi) so the count is off, and it shows the single file as well as the ones in the .nfo, not sure why it's doing that.
More icon choices for TV Shows, like Movies it now pulls mediaicons.org data.
-Notes: 3d box shots are the most common for icon types, some shows have hundreds of them, i've added 90 something to the gui (96 i think), and allow up to 100 to be downloaded in the settings, the default is 8 icons, you will want to increase this for tv shows to something higher, the downfall is that it does take time to load all those icons.
-Look at the bottom of the application window to see what icon its saving it as, it's in the big old font where movies show the folder data
-There some more work to do yet in that area, but it's getting better
-Ignore the long vertical line in wide icon view, it's going to be used to scale those boxes for the number of icons selected, but currently is fixed and visable, it's not your eyeballs playing tricks on you.
File Level movie selection - since some folk don't like folders, I've added it
- You must enable it under the folder settings, read the pop up box that shows up when you click it.
- Don't mix file level and folder level, it will NOT work
- Stacking is not yet working, so multipart movies show up as two different movies
- Some settings are for folder mode only and are automatically ignored when using files instead of folders for movies
DPI settings and MIP
96 is the default for Windows
120 is large
anything else is custom
I've changed the gui to support 96 and 120 dpi, anything higher will shift the content out of the intended area
HD Posters display sizes and resolution and now select correctly if your using different icons for the folder.jpg and tbn file
There's two installers, one has the IMDB cached data (to speed things up when loading movies) the other does not, pick the install that is right for you.
The installers will remove your old config file, this is needed as I add more features since they dont' exist and I'm too lazy to code single line checks for every new item.

I second that it works fine on Vista x64, and like BLKMGK, I'm still trying to figure it out.
Just curious is there a way maybe to get DVD covers from Amazon? I have some DVD's that don't have covers when scraping from IMDB, but I usually go to Amazon and I can find them there. Just a thought. But it's a pretty good program overall. Good job.

Thanks for the feedback!
I'll look into adding imdb image options, that should be easy enough to pull.
I'll add an option so you can choose if it will to display the wget windows for tv shows, and the TV Show language selection that I keep forgetting.
