Poster Import

deazo:

 Hi all, here are my two questions of the day:

1) Since a few of the last PVD releases, I lost a great Poster import plugin, and I can't recall what it was, I know it was russian, but it was the one that would find and display the nicest posters for the most obscure movies. Would you recall what it was and tell me if I can find it anywhere?

2) A more serious issue here: Even though I have unselected "silent mode" in the plugin preferences, when a poster import plugin (such as amazon.de for example) finds only one poster, it automatically replaces the one that was displayed in the information card. Is there an additional option I have to check in order to get the chance to visualise the poster before I add it to the information card?

Thanks for your help.

It was the Kinopisk plugin and it is still there as script. Check the scripts with a name in Cyrillic.

You could try the "Always show selection list while importing information" in Preferences -> Miscellaneous

Thanks for your answer Nostra.
It looks like I haven't lost Kinopisk plugin, but it just does not seem to work properly anymore.
The problem seem to be with fonts, the script is unreadable and comes out with ???£""??!! instead of proper letters.

What is rather curious is that I get that on two different computers, an XP one and a Vista one, and none of them (seem to) have problems with fonts.
Would you know by any chance the font I am missing, so that I could install it?

Thanks for your assistance and time.

It's a general problem with scripts. The only thing you could do is to set Russian as a standard language for non-Unicode applications in Windows Regional settings. I do not think the problem with fonts can cause posters not loading...

deazo:

 I did not have that "font rendering" problem with this script in older versions of PVD.
 
 But you might be right, this might not cause the script not to work, so what will?
 I am testing the script, and while it used to find loads of posters (and the best ones according to my experience), it now does not find anything at all, for ANY film (I mean even for terminator).
 Have you tried it recently?
