As I said, it did not work for me either. If you have your own recordings, the hash will never match (unless other people start and stop the recording the exact same moment). But my idea was to add it, it does not hurt. But ATM the code is disabled until someone confirms it works. > I'd prefer a custom tag you could add to mkv files that referenced a > unique id for a given movie or tv episode. TV episodes was the reason I started working on kaa.webmetadata again in the first place. They are much easier. You only need the series name, season and episode number and thetvdb does the rest. So kaa.webmetadata only searches for the series name, you can define an alias if you name it different, and based on season and episode you get metadata. That works well for me. > If something like that became popular, it'd be great for Just > Working. Unfortunately it would require buy-in from web services > like themoviedb and content creators (or perhaps I should say > "content creators"). kaa.metadata right now supports themoviedb and thetvdb but you can add more "content provides" if you like. And themviedb also has the feature to search for the movie name based on a unique dvd id, that could be very handy if you insert a disc. I did not try it, the ids are different than the ones we use. :( > Possibly a combination of both hashes and a unique id you could add > as a tag would provide the best of both worlds.

Agreed, IMDB seems to be the ids that would be a) most stable and b) easy to convert. E.g. themoviedb allows you to search based on the IMDB id and also returns it if you search on a title (or hash if it works). This way you can use this id to get more metadata. The best way (TM) would be if DVDs and recordings have this unique id. But I know of no TV station broadcasting the IMDB id for the mivie currently running. Dischi -- Oh Lord give me patience...
