Cannot find IMDb code
So far I have had no problems with the Movie NFO Creator, but having said that I have noticed that it does have trouble finding, shall we say, less popular titles.
eg. tt0108555 When The Bough Breaks.
Try it for yourself.

Re: Cannot find IMDb code
Yes I understand what you are saying and very aware of it, the reason I chose TmDb instead of Imdb is easy:
Imdb won't allow us to search there database and will do everything they can to stop us from scrapping there web page by changing the format of them every other week, so because of that I'm not interested to renew the code every other week to keep it working.
TmDb let us use an api to access their database and understand they are new but in most case you will be able to get result on movie from them at 90% of the time. It's an open source database and maintain by all of the member "us the public" and I'm glad to be part of them because they share for free.
All that said, I'm sorry it's the best I can do for now and one day TmDb will be bigger than Imdb

Re: Cannot find IMDb code
...and as that movie isn't in the TMDb database, it looks like i'll have to do a manual entry.
Thanks. for your time in explaining.
