[mythtvnz] Testers needed for MythKiwi Bulk Meta Grabber program

[Hayden Lovett]

for example stargate.atlantis.s02e13.critical.mass.ws.dvdrip.xvid-saints.avi
is not picked up as a TV show.

I have a mask which searches the MySQL to look for TV shows % s__e__% so
there is a space before the s.  Otherwise it picked up "episode" in the
mask.

I will add the option of %.s__e__%


Have you ever considered using thetvdb.com (which has a well defined
api) and/or themoviedb.org (ditto).

I didn't write the scrapping scripts.  Just packaged them.
I haven't had any rouble with the IMDB scraper though.  If you know of any
other scrapers let me know.  I can get them to run in series picking up the
movies missed.

secondly it'd be handy to be able to pick just a handful of files for
it to work on instead of letting it loose on 1200 video files at a
time!

I was planning on this just being a *bulk* updater but I could break it down
into subfolder.  Otherwise a list with tickboxes?  Sounds a little messy
with 1200 videos though.

Thanks for the feedback.  I will make the cahnges to the mask now.
