Is there a shortcut to start scraping movies (series) being added to Filebot with TheMovieDB (or other databases)?

You mean a shortcut that'll save 2 clicks / 1 second at the expensive of logical UI? No, that's not planned. :D

However, you can create a cmdline script, and that'll be a single click.

Many thanks, rednoah.

Well, I am not quite sure about the time (I am a bit slow with the mouse and clicking), but then 60 times clicking would save half a minute, that would not be that bad.

I guess, the time I would need to do it (any idea what it is) I could click some billion (or more) times on the nice UI, so...

Many thanks again.

It's important that the users makes a conscious decision when choosing a database, because that'll heavily affect what's happening next.

If there's was some sort of anime / series / movie auto-detection auto-detection that could work, but then that'll take more CPU, more network requests, which would take a few extra seconds anyway, and of course things would be less reliable and more time spent on figuring out why it doesn't work (which is hard even for me). ;)

As for some (very) basic cmdline scripting, tinkering and succeeding is it's on reward, even if it takes a bit longer at first. :D

Also there's http://www.filebot.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1053 and of course the monstrosity Ithiel is working on. :D

Alright, yes, I understand, that's a good argumentation of course.

And thank you for the link, I will give it a try may be.

Many thanks, rednoah.
