[Bug] NMJ - can't load info by IMDB id

[vsplus]

Firmware 03-04-120517-21-POP-408 (03-04-111220-21-POP-408) (23.05.2012).
I have DVD image of this film http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0064733/.
I can't load nmj info for it neither by IMDB id tt0064733 neither by japan name "Nihonkai daikaisen" neither by english name "Battle of the Japan Sea".

That is because the NMJ uses TheMovieDB for it's info and that movie does not exist in their database. You can always set up an account there and enter the info for the movie yourself. That way the NMJ will pick the info up and it will also be there for other users that have that movie.

Alternatively you could use one of the NMJ editors like NMJToolbox2 to add your own information manually.

I am shure you are wrong. NMJ holds "powerd by IMDB" logo. Not "powered by TheMovieDB".
Second, it is impossible for independently maintained movie databases to have the same movie indexes. I have loaded movie info by index taken from IMDB url many times.

I am not wrong, NMJ2 DOES get its info from TheMovieDB, NMJ1 gets its info from IMDB (Syabas paid for a license but changed the API on NMJ2 as it is free). You can call up a movie on The Movie DB by the IMDB ttID - it is a way of getting the info directly without multiple results returned from title matching. I use the IMDB ID to query TheMovieDB myself with my NMJToolbox application.

If it is a 200 series it should get from IMDB I believe until they change to NMJv2 then it will be the movie db. They may have even changed this now with a firmware update, I'm not sure.

Maybe you are right and know something about syabas people I can't even imagine. Why does people in clear mind puts on software a paid logo and uses a free service instead already paid one?
