I've been using The All my movies program since it was given a few weeks back.I added my movies and it worked fine auto filling the info from imdb.
The thing is when it came to trying my compete seasons of Futurama it wouldn't update all of the individual episodes info like it claimed in the program description.After searching
the Bolide Software forum I found others had the same problem.I then emailed their support and they informed me that a fixed build was to be released the next week, but much to my disappointment, the gaotd license would not cover the fix update.

I tried copying and pasted the info manually but thats a real pain considering every part of it from episode title to air date is a separate line.Times that by fifty some episodes and its going to take forever.
I'm not really sure my point of this post but considering that feature was listed in the program description I'm a bit disappointed with the company.They did however offer me a link for a discount on the fixed build but thats still $31 dollars. Bummer

It happens. I purchased version 5.x - didn't need any updates except when IMDB changed their format - by then AMM had reached version 6.x and would no longer be a free update.

It would be great if the definitions for IMDB could be provided externally to AMM - so users could update it independently to all the other reported "important bugs" that bolide software fix to escalate their version number to bring all the users closer to another "paid upgrade".

Others have expressed similar feelings on the subject - http://www.bolidesoft.com/forum/about1491.html

In the same fashion, I am reluctant to become too dependent on the "youtube downloaders" that get given away without updates. The software will usually only function until youtube make their next change.

For these type of programs that can break at any time (when sites change that they depend on) I really think the best solutions will be those that do not penalize users for these site changes.
