Not Recognized Results / IMDb ID Solution

Tue May 22, 2018 3:25 am

Would there be a way to add a button on the right of each unrecognized movie/show under "Not Recognized Year" and "Not Recognized Title" where it says "rename file", "use folder name" and add IMDb ID. This way we could input the IMDb ID and search your database (if available) to select the correct movie and automatically add it into our database. This could then populate an unrecognized movie/show list and you could program a pop-up to ask the user if they would like to send a report back to you with any unrecognized movies or shows via your email or some back channel on your website. This way even unregistered users to your forum would be able to contribute in real-time.

Thanks.

Asking for movies to be added to the database isn't contributing. On the contrary, when users ask me to add an obscure movie, I do it as a service so they can manage all their movies. It's very time consuming to add movies to the database (find a poster, a plot, etc...), and I can easily get overwhelmed if there are too many requests. I certainly don't want unregistered users or bots to be able to make movie requests. I do my best to keep the database up to date by adding the significant movies as they're released, but the requests are generally movies that only the requester is interested in.
