Use this link:
https://code.edge.launchpad.net/elisa-plugin-movie-library/+addbranch
I'll look into extracting just the plugin and registering a branch for it.

I'll try to find some time to test further today. In my Videos directory
I have 2 symbolic links pointing to directories containing videos. In
most of all the items of the grid the same (not generic) cover was
displayed. If I tried to change the cover of one movie (glass icon), it
changed for all the others.
I haven't tested symlinks, but there shouldn't be any issue here. Paths to my
movies were something like:
/media/disk/Movies/Lord Of The Rings/lotr-rotk.avi
I extract the last directory section in the URI (thus, movie_dir = Lord Of The
Rings) and this is used in IMDb query. The found result is cached in <ELISA
CONF>/movie_cache/ md5_hash(movie_dir).dat (.jpg for covers). Indeed, if you
have movies in path like /media/Movies/lotr-rotk.avi, then changing the cover
for a "single movie" results in changing it for all movies within
"/media/Movies" folder.

Hehe yes it's not always easy to dig in the mass of widgets we have
spread in some places ;) This is something that will change as we get
more contributors doing UI stuff.

Yeah well ;) As a first step I think I'll continue in the "filename
cleaning" + regexes match direction. But you're right, maybe in the next
step it would be interesting to allow the user to directly select the
kind of content in his media-sources directories.
Actually, I'm doing it already, but from a different end - I tell my "plugin"
where it should look for it's sources. It works, but is it logical? ;)

I don't think that's an issue.
