Thank you so much for caring with us. And we care for you too, so by wishing to be helpful, I would like to point out some of the thing I caught; [b]SPECIAL CHARACTERS[/b] + Starting with [i]Windows folder paths[/i], XMM lacks the full support of unicode. If there are special characters (like Ý, þ, ü, Ö etc.) in the name of the folders, XMM would not recognize them. Covers may become unreadable and databases may become broken. Please consider to take a look at this again. + Also, same goes with the internet scripts. For example with the IMDB script, all the special characters are imported as their related code: [b] &38; - & &32; - < br> &252; - ü &231; - ç &214; - Ö &220; - Ü &229; - å [/b]... and so on. In my theory this situation even prevents the script from working perfect. For example, an actor name which contains special characters, is imported with a totally unrelated combination of words (or names) and the script can not complete itself and therefore movie titles, covers or none of the information are [b]NOT[/b] imported for that matter. I don't know if these are XMM or script related, but please take a look at them; it takes so much time to [b]"replace words on all fields"[/b] and it is risky. [b]RANDOM MOVIE SELECTION[/b] + I don't know how you wrote the code and I'm not sure if you had a spesific strategy in mind* for this feature but, it is such a useful and needed feauture. Though still needs to be adjusted in my opinion, because it becomes to repeat itself so often. In a +600 title database, the same title can come up for up to [b]8 times for only 30 clicks[/b]. Encountering a problem like this, one asks himself [i]"What about all the other wonderful movies?!"[/i]. Thank you so much again and take care Erke * Repeating for a reason.
