I have no idea how, but I just found out that this post ended up in a thread I never even read. Anyway, I'll just post it again here where it belongs:
I don't have a lot of time for testing these days, so I just tried it to see what happens; it brought back srts for the correct movies, albeit with only a low percentage of succes re the frame rate. Granted, I didn't check more than a dozen movies, but it wasn't really promising.
Anyway, it's not a feature I really need, but it makes me wonder: for a while now, JRiver has refused to harvest the IMDB database for metadata, claiming it's illegal per IMDB's terms (and despite the fact that others do it). And now MC offers this functionality, which, welcome as it is, has a legal base that goes way into a far deeper shade of grey. So, isn't that double standards?
...And as I bought v22 on the strength of the promise for "Improved access to metadata", I wonder when are we going to see this promise coming true. In my wishful thinking, this promise would mean richer scraping options, but there's no sign of that yet, and the product cycle of v22 is waning fast...
