Hey.
I have an idea for making a movie backdrop downloader.
If you have a folder with your movie-folders arranged like:
300 (2006)
American Gangster (2007)
Hot Rod (2007)
etc.
then it's would be easy to get the imdb id to download a poster from http://moviebackdrops.com/.
1. Change spaces to + : "300 (2006)" -> "300+(2006)"
2. Put it into: http://www.trynt.com/movie-imdb-api/v2/?t=FOLDERNAME -> http://www.trynt.com/movie-imdb-api/v2/?t=300+(2006)
3. Get the XML tag <matched-id> -> tt0416449
4. Download http://moviebackdrops.com/backdrops/IMDBID/1.jpg -> http://moviebackdrops.com/backdrops/tt0416449/1.jpg and save in "300 (2006)" folder as fanart.jpg.
Just make a repeat of that until all the movie folders are done :D
If I had the programming skills, then I would have made a little windows program for custom art.
