[mythtv-users] Keeping IMDB Number

[Steve Peters - Priority Electronics]

Hello fellow Mythtv users,

I have heard that we will be switching to tmdb numbers in the mythvideo 
section for the next version of mythtv.

I was wondering if anyone knows if there will be a way to keep the imdb 
numbers in the database so that I don't lose that info. I have extracted 
some data from my mythvideo table so that in case i lose my db or 
whatever, i can re-import the user ratings that i originally got from 
imdb on previous versions of mythtv. Since I feel that the user ratings 
are much more accurate on imdb vs tmdb where the number of votes is very 
low most of the time, i want to be able to do my tmdb update where it 
gets all the movie info and pictures from their website, then run my 
imdb script like i do now to import those user ratings from my csv file.

Right now, my script just matches the imdb number from my csv file with 
that in the db, but since the new version of myth won't use imdb 
numbers, my script won't work.

Anyone have any suggestions for me? I realize fully why they're 
switching to tmdb numbers (imdb isn't used anymore, so why keep their 
number system), but i don't want to lose the valuable user ratings i've 
accumulated over time.

-Thanks for any help
