    Description

      1. IMDB grabbing from TV EPG does not show info the first time. You have to hit 'refresh'.

      2. After grabbing IMDB info for a program in the EPG, the EPG genre is changed to the movie genre. This can cause problems if you have genre colouring in the EPG, because you then have a movie that has a genre other than 'movies'.

      3. After grabbing IMDB info for the movie, the movie is added to the video database, and shows up in database view despite there not being a corresponding video file.

      I did ran into some 'issues':

      1. When you select a movie in the EPG (with coloured EPG working, it should show up red), hit F9 and select the IMDB options, it doesn't work. Result is screen without info (see screenshot 1). Once you hit 'refresh', the script does seem to collect data, and values get filled (see screenshot 2), so there seems to be something wrong.

      2. When you go back to the TV Guide, the IMDB script seems to have updated the genres/info for the movie in the EPG, which results in a 'missing' genre color.

      3. Finally when i hoover MyVideos on BasicHome (DefaultWide), the scanned movie is added to the Video dB and showing up as 'Recently Added' (see screenshot 3), which it shouldn't do, since the movie isn't in my collection.

      Not quitte sure what the intended way is, but it looks like that IMDB option needs an update.
