[SOLVED] Actors' roles aren't being imported

Which do you think is more likely...

1. the plugin is failing to get the roles,
2. they're not being saved in the database, or
3. the program is not displaying them?

RazorHall, you could run a Plain Text Export using the following template to determine whether or not the role data actually exists in the database.


--- Code: ---%OPTIONS%
encoding="ANSI"
filter="Text Files|*.txt"
%OPTIONS%
{%value=title}:
{%value=actors template="pages\actors.ptm" params="full"}
--- End code ---

And to test the display behaviour of the field, try editing Actors, changing [actor1, actor2, etc.] to [actor1 ... role1, actor2 ... role2, etc.]. Normal behaviour depends on whether the "show roles" option is set. If it is, the added roles will appear, and I suppose this would imply they weren't recorded in the database by the plugin. If the option is not set (or the program is not recognizing that it is), the added roles will not be displayed. Note that even if this doesn't appear to "work," the field will still be saved exactly as edited.

I just saw your last post. Try removing the login from your plugin configuration. It's not necessary, and might be the cause of the problem—although I doubt it. Whether logged in or not, I suppose when you visit http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0032138/fullcredits#cast using your browser, the credit data (including roles) is displayed normally.

BTW, you should find the program loads a little faster if you delete the plugins and scripts you're not using.

RazorHall:
The Plain Text Export showed no role data for recently added movies.

The roles I enter myself are displayed correctly after editing the Actors field.

Removing my login information from the IMDB plugin had no effect.

Thanks for the tip about plugins/scripts!  And I appreciate your efforts in trying to figure out why I'm having this issue.   :)

rick.ca:
So it would seem might be a problem with the plugin running on XP. Maybe some other XP users can confirm.

buah:
This user can't reproduce the issue on his WinXP. Everything works perfect.

rick.ca:
Thanks, buah. I figured it couldn't be that obvious, but we're running out of straws to grasp at. :P
