+== STATUS
+
+The initial goal of using DVD Profiler data when available along
+with IMDB data otherwise is just about met. There is still some
+performance issues mainly related to using the production or
+released years to refine searches that have multiple title matches.
+
+Near term plans include:
+* supporting multiple file matching patterns
+* supporting directory containers
+* interfacing to TMDb, primarily for fanart.

== DESCRIPTION:
This script will attempt to match up media files from a set of directories
to the collection.xml file exported from DVD Profiler. For matches, the
script will then create a {moviename}.nfo from the data in collections.xml

not include in the title edition info like "Widescreen" or "Special Edition"
eventhough there are some mistakes in the DVD Profiler profiles that do
include these in the title.

* Media can be contained in a set of directories (they can be mount points)
* Adds sub-directory names as genres to .nfo files
Problems:
-* Always overwriting .nfo. Needs to only write if there has been a change.
-* Loses any tags not directly supported. Needs to change from overwrite
- to merge.
* IMDB ID scraping doesn't handle boxed sets or multiple movies per media
file. I don't see how to work around this exept to eliminate from media
library.
* Needs a better method to setup AppConfig defaults. Current thinking
is to prompt for required parameters on first run.
* Needs to support selectable/multiple regex based naming conventions
* Needs to support directory containers
-* Does not support stacking
* .dvdprofiler2xbmcrc uses base 10 integers for permissions. Should be
either base 8 or symbolic.
