… Quite a good idea, actually. I’ll see if and how that’s possible.

The custom post type is precisely meant to avoid mixing up pages/posts with movies (that’s a library plugin, after all, basically the point is to have your movies in a dedicated part), but there are still places where there’s a confusion, like you mentioned, posters and embedded links. That’s things I’ll try to fix.

Thanks for your dedication 🙂

Not really: the plugin is using a custom WordPress post type, ‘movie’; that’s why they don’t appear in the articles list (nor in the pages list). But they are stored just like regular Posts and Pages, that’s the very same thing apart from the name and a few dedicated features.

I’ll take a look at UAM to see if I can find the cause of this issue.

Ok. I’m afraid I don’t have a solution to this… It’s because of issues like this one that I’m rewriting the grid: much easier to debug! I hope I can release a first beta soon.

Note that this code above will apply to all posts, not only movies; you may want to use the save_post_movie action to fire only on movies. You could also use the IMDb ID instead of the post title query the API.

Looks like a server-related error, I tried to import this movie on my test installs, it worked just as expected. “transfer closed with n bytes remaining to read” sounds like a CURL error. Nothing on your server’s log?

Yeah, that screen option is a nasty one. Even after more 6 years working with WordPress I still manage to forget about it sometimes 😉

By the way, a (yet another) feature scheduled for version 2.2 is the ability to easily update movies, either individually or massively. It should be pretty handy!

A category should be the best choice for this indeed, or a collection if yoiu want to keep it to movies only.
