Where? I'm not just talking about the basic detection of files. I also<br>
mean setting metadata and fetching posters. Being able to run it in cron<br>
would also be handy.<br>
<br></blockquote></div><br>Check back through this thread. I suggested imdb bulk updater and provided a link. Don't confuse it with the standard imdb.pl script. It does depend on that script though. Imdb bulk updater is a script that will do everything you suggest. It has command line switches for each of the feature you need and more: It will add new files, remove missing files (if you want), fetch metadata and posters from imdb, and it can be run from cron. I use it regularly and it works great. Occasionally I don't like the poster that gets pulled from imdb so I will go into mythweb and add a better one.<br>
