Carnac - Optional
glynor:
PS. Obviously the eventual point of Carnac is to enable automatic lookup in the TVDB and Rotten Tomatoes and whatnot. Once we get Carnac to the point where it can successfully parse an adequately named file on import, you can flip a switch where MC knows how to look up the [Description] and other metadata from TVDB for the show on import.
And, that, my friends is The Dream.
MrHaugen:
That is the dream, yes. But I think that such a system should be separated from Carnac. It should be like automatic updates, running in the background imo.

I think it probably will be.
Getting the essential [Series], [Season], [Episode], and [Media Sub Type] tags set first is the obviously necessary first step. Who knows if the next step will even be in v17 or not, but I'm hoping!
glynor:
I think a good "cute name" for that would be Icarus. It has wings that let you get up to the Clouds. Just don't go to far, or you might get burned. ;) ;D
struct:
I hope it is not exactly like as you describe Glynor. I hope that there a way to verify also. For example, I would love a fully automatic lookup based on the parsed name/year for the first run through of the couple hundred existing movies. After that, when I am doing the one by one import, I would like to flick a switch and have some interface that lets me verify that the Notorious movie it has looked up is the one with Cary Grant and not the rapper.
TV shows are a bit different, you want it to bias its heuristics to what you already have. If I have episodes of Dr Who (2005) it is likely that I might be adding more of those, but I need a way to tell it that unfortunately this time the show belongs to a new show Dr Who (2009). Remember on my first import, I may not have known that there were two versions and hence the file was named Dr Who.
All of this needs to be controllable, and I assume this is going to be through a thetvdb show id or imdb id. This way when I think I have downloaded a copy of Dr Who (2005) and accidentally ended up with Dr Who (2009), I change one field and ask it to update.
