Raymond--

Maybe I should have stated that differently, and for that I apologize.  I was browsing around my own backend via MythWeb and looking at the videos that I have there.  Along with the videos listed in MythWeb is the Category (currently "uncategorized" for my videos), the duration of the video, and a hot link comprised of the TMDB number for the video.  However, the php script that builds the hot link is written to use IMDB with the TMDB number, which does not work for what should be obvious reasons.  And, since everything I've read states that everything is to be written over to use TMDB because using IMDB is a violation of terms for IMDB, having a script that uses IMDB with a TMDB not only doesn't work but its attempt to function itself is a terms violation.

But, a quick change of the php script to generate the URL to point to TMDB has worked on my side - currently 0.25.2 - so I'm hoping that this issue is resolved properly in 0.26.

I apologize for the confusion.  If you would like more input on what I found in order to make sure things are correct for 0.26, I would be more than happy to share what I found with you.
