Hi guys,

I'm trying to build a catalog/library of all the films I've seen by tagging blank mp4 files with film data with the following meta data mappings:

Title \> Film Title  
Year \> Film Year Of Release  
Genre \> Film Genre  
Artist \> Film Director  
iTunesPodcastDesc \> Film Description  
Composer \> Film Stars Featured

In order to do this I've been trying to write a script which searches the [http://www.blockbuster.co.uk](http://www.blockbuster.co.uk) website for various film titles (e.g. "The Matrix") and tags the remainder of the metadata listed above i.e.:

Year: "1998",  
Genre: "Action/Adventure",  
Artsist: "The Wachowski Brothers",  
iTunesPodcastDesc:"Neo seeks the truth about the Matrix...",  
Composer:"Keanu Reeves; Laurence Fishburne; Carrie-Anne Moss; "

into the corresponding mp4 fields. So far I've come up with:

```
# Mp3tag parsing for Blockbuster.co.uk
# Save it in your Mp3tag data directory, i.e.
# C:\Documents and Settings\*username*\Application Data\Mp3tag\data\sources

by tinkering with the web source code for [Amazon.com](http://Amazon.com), but it always seems to return the error message: "Sorry, no results are matching your search criteria.", and I can't figure out why. Can anyone help at all?

Thanks in advance,  
thursday

Thank you so much, dano - that's pretty much perfect!  
I'd forgotten to mention the inclusion of the film poster image, but I can probably amend it to do this myself.

Thanks again!

PS: The slightly edited attachment seems to work nicely enough 🙂
