1. Robert, have you even read the examples i wrote in my last reply? In what step have i failed to follow your directions? I did each step in those examples, for you to be able to point out what i've done wrong.
 
2. I have never and will never manipulate the database manually. If something is wrong in the database, it is either MythTV or MySQL that has done something wrong.
 
3. For every movie, even if the title is in swedish or english, the inetref is found automatically if i manually go to the Metadata Options screen. And even if i save that setting, i don't get any artwork. And for Sweeny Todd the inetref dont get copied to the recording.
 
4. For series, the interef is found automatically in the same way as above(except for swedish titles. why don't movies and series work in the same way?) But still, no artwork. And for Scrubs i cant even select the right inetref from the serarchlist.
 
Anyway, if you accuse me of manipulating the database, not reading the wiki, not following your instructions i think i'm entitled to be a little upset because i have done noting but reading the wiki and reading your instructions and following them as good as i can. And please if there is any step in my examples that i have misunderstood, point it out to me so i can make it right.
 
Regarding the frontend language and the language for the titles of recordings the automation would only work for people who live in a country where there is a complete translation of MythTV. For languages with a incomplete translation where the user uses english instead it wont work. One solution to this would be to use the guide data language as a fallback, a setting that is on the same page where you set the language for the frontend. I guess that atleast the most of the people that have guide data is using a guide data provider in their own language. Atleast it would make MML work automatic for more people.
 
Artwork is cool, and in the end this will work. Because i know there will be many more than me with this problems when 0.25 goes live. And if Robert wont talk to me to try to find the problem we can only hope some other user are in more luck.
