Bulk Updater for Videometa(imdb) data

List --
I've taken the liberty of creating an imdb.pl wrapper to use with
mythvideo. This is a commandline tool similar to the imdbbatchgrabber.pl
tool that is included with knoppmyth. However that tool is out of date,
and it heavily relies on the production copy of imdb.pl. So when imdb.pl
is out of date the batchgrabber is instantly, and tends to stay that way
for a long time.

Anyhow, long story short. I've created a simple, but reliable bulk wrapper
for imdb.pl to do batch updates of multiple types against your
videometadata table.

The script still has a dependency on imdb.pl, but in the past this seems
to be maintained regularly and my tool only depends on a working copy.

Anyhow, I have it out on a freebie file share site for now (takes a second
to load download link). But have at it for those that are interested.

The usage is pretty self explanatory. Please send me feedback as necessary.

Ryan

I've been wanting something like this for a long time but I wasn't aware
of the knoppmyth version. Have you considered adding this to the mythtv
wiki?

Very nice now we just need a script to insert the videos from your
mythvideo directory into the database (Rather then having to manually go
to Setup|Video Manager in the frontend) and then run this script to get
the imdb data.

sorry but javascript:startDownload() is not a link as far as I am
concerned. Any chance of a real url to download from?

Let me put some thought into that. It shouldn't be too hard to implement.
Then you could run this out cron, and only manually run it to fix the ones
that do not auto-populate.

Yeah. Sorry your browser seems to be having an issue. This link works for
me in Firefox and it seems to have worked for a few others since the count
has increased for downloads.

Here's a temp link that will only work once.
