Hi,
thx for this patch it's a good idea.
1 - Any idea when this patch will be applied to the cvs ?
2 - I try to apply  the patch in local cvs but I don't how does patch  
program work and which options shoulds I use.
I have create a perl script to grab movie information in french language 
it should work. But I can't try it in mythvideo.
3 - I have made a patch that allow to
    grab movie information in french
    manually classify movie by category
     automaticly classify by genre and country
    it's work for me but it's preferable to wait until your patch was 
applied to cvs. after that I can send again my patch which will be 
compatible with your new feature.
   for this future feature, I have add 2 lines when I  run the perl 
script like this :
       Countries: country1, country2, ...
       Genres: genre1, genre2, ...

It will be great if you add this feature too in your imdb.pl for english 
user, all the other stuff was already made (database, videobrowser, 
videotree, editmetadata, videomanager)

thx again
