Check both filename and what format is supported by themoviedb. For example &quot;Big Buck Bunny 2008.avi&quot; may work fine where &quot;2008.Big.Buck.Bunny.mp4&quot; may fail.

That is the way I am doing now. I want a tool that does it automatically and gives me a list of misses and matches. Then I can alter the folder names and run the tool again. A lot easier. Also there is more to movie naming in openelec then just movie naming. There are rules for setting up folder structures and naming of TV-shows also for instance. A tool/app could help me with all that.

<div>
Don't know of a tool that does what you require, OpenElec doesn't care about folders as far as I know, you just point to a base folder and tell it that it contains movies or tv series. A basic script that does searches from on the mobiedb site would not be that difficult to create. Using an api call to query tmdb is limited to a certain amount of queries: <i>&quot;Our current limits are 40 requests every 10 seconds and are limited by IP address, not API key.&quot;</i>.

<div>
You can select to set the content search to be aware of folder names as movie names.<br />
<br />
I think all I need is here:<br />
<a href="http://kodi.wiki/view/Adding_videos_to_the_library" rel="ugc">http://kodi.wiki/view/Adding_videos_to_the_library</a><br />
<br />
They have videoes about what I need at the bottom.<br />
<br />
There is some regex going on when OpenElec / Kodi scans media. I would have to know exactly their way of doing it to replicate it in a script the exact same way. Or else results may differ.

I have spent some time copying movies to an usb disk. Then try to sync Openelec / Kodi with <a href="https://www.themoviedb.org" rel="ugc">https://www.themoviedb.org</a>&nbsp;the standard way after attaching the USB disk to the Raspberry PI that runs OpenElec. Then I see some movies get missed. I take the USB disk and attach it to my laptop. Rename the movie folders to match a matching movie name, perhaps test manually at <a href="http://www.themoviedb.org" rel="ugc">www.themoviedb.org</a>&nbsp;and try to sync again at my Raspberry PI with OpenElec.<br />
<br />
The point is that this takes time back and forth. I would like to find some tool or app that could check the movie names for me and report a total list of movies that have been resolved and movies that could not be resolved, so I can fix and test again without too much back and forth.<br />
<br />
Anyone know any such tool / app?

Multimedia applications are those programs that integrate more than one media at a time; browsers are the most obvious. However, the term has come to include the use of programs that enable the use of any component that isn’t simple text and static graphics, such as audio, video, animation, virtual reality, conferencing and monitoring.
