I just switched to the Windows 7 media center for TV and generally love the interface but the Movie tab won't pull movie data like it would in xbmc or another alternate.

Is there a way of getting media center to pull title/poster/cast info for an avi file like it would for a DVD?

I manage the Media Browser project.

It works on Windows 7, gives you coverflow, poster view, themes, detail view, deep metadata search capabilities, filtering, advanced sorting, TV metadata (from thetvdb.com), Movie metadata (from themoviedb.org), ITunes trailer, DVR-MS metadata, podcast support and more.

Wow. That's an amazing project. I had it installed and working in seconds. It can only get better from here. – Auxonic Jul 16 '09 at 4:14
Looks great, thanks – yoavf Jul 16 '09 at 9:12
That's the one I use too, weirdly couldn't find the link for it yesterday – David Hayes Jul 16 '09 at 15:21

I've been using MyMovies to do that - it's good for both on the shelf dvds and downloaded movies (include auto import of information from amazon/imdb ...)
