Is it possible to do this?
I wish to scan, for instance, iPlayer's contents into my library. Currently I cannot even set the content for iplayer to TV (it lets me but doesn't save the change).
I have tried the same with the Simpsons plugin, which I can set the content to TV Shows, but it hangs when attempting to scan to the library.
Thanks in advance.

plugins were not meant to be scanned into the library.

I can successfully scan individual files to the library if I right click them once I'm deep enough in iPlayer so it's at least possible in principle is it not?

Bad idea since the IPlayer contents are only available for 7 days. What you can do is switch on library mode and navigate through "video plugins" into the IPlayer plugin. This at least gives you easy on screen access to the episode plot text.

I've managed to manually scan video content from the TV Shack plugin to my library, which I'm very happy about. However I can't correctly update its info with IMDB data etc.
When I click Movie Info I get a string of numbers and letters e9009e90r898111 etc. as the title name. Changing the name manually doesn't seem to stick. Is there any way around this so I can get thumbnail and info on the file in my library?
