Command line importing of movies

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I would find the option of being able to import movies via a command line very 
useful, if it could be run from a batch file (preferably) or vbscript it would 
be perfect.

My use of this feature would be to automate the process of moving downloaded 
material into the correct folder (this part would not be done by Moving 
Pictures) and then my other app would run the command to import the movie into 
the database without having to go into the config screen manually.

Ideally it should auto-match to the correct title and load the default cover 
art, which I have had no problems with so far with the GUI importer, and if it 
can't find a match then it should stop and ignore it until I go into the config 
manually to sort it out.

I am not sure I understand the need for this. The importer already monitors 
import paths. If you copied a file into an import path it would automatically 
be processed. If a match that meets the auto approval criteria is not found it 
will ignore the file until you go into the config and make a decision. What you 
are describing is default behavior. Without the need to setup some complicated 
shell script.

In that case maybe I don't have mine configured correctly, all the importer 
settings are still at defaults and I haven't changed anything myself, but it 
doesn't appear to import any movies until I go into the plugin config screen, 
when I do this, it picks them all up and auto approves them as I would expect. 
I will have a play and report my findings.
