Append IMDb number to unrecognised files
Posted: Tue Jun 02, 2020 10:09 am
My apologies if this has been already posted or answered here. I have searched the Help section and this forum for some time and could not find a satisfactory answer to the following:
1. Scanned video files on my HD and several movies were not recognised.
2. Clicked "Rename" button and "Find ttxxxxx id"
3. I found the correct tt number from the imdb database and appended to the title. Clicked "OK"
4. (Remark: This in itself was a tedious and frustrating process as most of the time the program froze when trying to append the tt number. I had to force quit and start all over again multiple times.)
5. After appending the tt numbers I pressed "Add recognised files". Nothing happened. After finding the correct tt numbers I would have expected to see my movies somewhere in the database, but all I received was a .txt file summary of the unrecognised movies with the path to my files and the name of the movie with the tt number.
6. How does this help me locating these files? My question, what is the purpose of going through the whole process of searching and appending the tt number, when in the end I don't see the movies nowhere in the program?
Your help in this matter is very much appreciated.
