View source for MediaGrabber

This GPL script can be run on any platform with a php interpreter (windows, linux, osx, or on the ATV directly). Run it wherever you have your data (shared or not), and it will download all images automagically. 

 e.g. php covergrabber.php c:\temp\mymovies DVD

If you want to contribute via paypal as a way to say thank you, that would be appreciated. :)

=== Code ===

Paste this into a file called covergrabber.php.

 # CoverGrabber
 # v1.3
 ###############################################################################
 # Retrieves covers for files in a given directory and all subdirectories
 # Cover images are saved as jpegs to <filename.ext>.jpg
 # You should try to name your video files as close to the search text as
 # possible. This is a given with movie titles, for example.
 #
 # Usage:
 #   php covergrabber.php <target directory>
 #   e.g. php covergrabber.php c:\temp\movies
 #
 # Released under the GPL

 $ver="v1.3";
 # NOTES
 # - Make sure your version of PHP allows for fopen() to remote urls
 #   If not, all your cover downloads will fail
 #
 # Changelog
 # v1.3 (kon) - fixed case sensitive bug
 # v1.2 (kon) - fixed stripping bug
 # v1.1 (kon) - added timestamping, usage
 # v1.0 (kon) - initial release
