Personal Video Database

As I am using the "PVD Classic Tabs" (v.1.0.0.3) skin,

In the "Classic PVD Tabs' skin, the custom fields can be added easily, anytime and how many (a lot or a little custom fields) you want to have.

I am trying to add to this Custom Tab (or to a new one if that is possible), the technical data of the films/TV series, i.e. Color, Aspect ratio, Sound mix, and whatever else is available on the IMDB site (Top 250, etc. but not the user review).

For technical data I recommend  "Technical Specs:" memo custom field and Technical Specifications IMDB page individual script, which is here and there is also more explanations.

Apart from the above I would like to add -somewhere- if the video is a TV Film, TV Mini-Serie, TV Series, to be able to sort them with the "sort by" button of the software.

Here I recommend Tv Short text or Select list custom field, and then be easy to use

to be able to sort them with the "sort by" button of the software.

BTW:
The  "TV Series & etc ..."  information shall be transmitted only when they are also added to the movie web sites.

Short text or Select list custom field also applies to other custom fields where you want to use

to be able to sort them with the "sort by" button of the software.

Your name for the custom fields do not match with the name of the custom field in the script.

I assume you are using pvd_classic_movie or pvd_classic_movie_tabs skin.
In this case, will rename your custom fields very simple.

In the Tools / Preferences / Movies / Custom items , you will, for example, "Aspect Ratio" custom field only "Rename", so you will all the information remains in your database (see sshot-2).

Notice:
But certainly not to use the "Delete" because you're so then delete the custom field as well as all data in this custom field.

In the IMDB plugin should be used names of custom fields, such as the default settings for IMDB plugin.
The default settings the names of the custom fields in the IMDB plugin:
IMDB Votes
Top 250:
Technical Specs:
User Review:

In the absence of the same names of custom fields you IMDB plugin did not pass the information to Technical Specs. IMDB plugin or script to pass the information on the Top 250 only in the case of a movie ranked on a scale of Top 250.

The same names are custom fields in the script:
IMDB Votes
Top 250:

Imdb script also has the following custom fields:
Imdb Title   for  "Complete title"
Tv2 and Tv   for  "TV Series & etc ..."
Imdb Aspect Ratio   for  "Aspect Ratio:"
Updated   for  "Date ~Updated~ (choose simple or verbose version)"

P.S. Your custom field names for these data are "TV" and "TV2"? Why two fields?

TV custom field displays the usual information.
TV2 is memo custom field, which is the url link, more about it here and here.

Attached also IMDb MovieInfo TV (2) script with more information.

Sorry. Unfortunately, I'm not the developer of Roksbox, and have no control over their web site. 

It's all right, it is not your fault.

I just happened to run across this thread.  The Roksbox website was recently the victim of a spam attack.  So to try to restore the integrity of the website, for precautionary reasons, I blocked all countries except the ones that I knew for sure used Roksbox.  The countries that were blocked were not necessarily causing problems, but they were blocked just because they were not known to be using Roksbox.  SI was one of the countries that was blocked for precautionary reasons.  Therefore, I have now unblocked SI, so you should be able to use the Roksbox website now.  Sorry for the inconvenience.

Thank you, now it works.

Hello
The IMDB plugin stopped importing Posters/Pictures as of 5/12/2013.
Any fix?

You will need to have a little patience, it will be necessary to wait a bit, Nostra will repairs this problem, when it will have more time.

..., but you would need to wait until next year (I am currently pretty busy).

For Year I need only 4 digits from end and unformated date i save to Custom Field.

For Year maybe this help:

//~mfYear~ or ~Year~

endPos := PosFrom('</span></h1>', HTML, curPos);
curPos := endPos - 5;
TmpStr2 := IntToStr(StrToInt(Copy(HTML, curPos, 4)));

if TmpStr2 = '0' then
TmpStr2 := '';

AddFieldValue(mfYear, TmpStr2);
AddCustomFieldValueByName('Year', TmpStr2);

if TmpStr2 = '' then
TmpStr2 := 'year unknown';

LogMessage(' Parsing: ' + TmpStr1 + '(' + TmpStr2 + ')');
For Date maybe this help:

procedure ParseMovie(MovieURL : String; HTML : String);
var
curPos, endPos : Integer;
Date, TmpStr, TmpStr1, TmpStr2, TmpStr3, TmpStr4, TmpStr5 : String;
DateParts: TWideArray;
begin

//Date ~Updated~ (choose simple or verbose version)
Date := DateToStr(CurrentDateTime);
if Date <> '' then
  begin
    ExplodeString(Date, DateParts, '-');
Date := DateParts[2] +'.'+ DateParts[1] +'.'+ DateParts[0];
AddCustomFieldValueByName('Updated', Date);  // Simple
  end else
    LogMessage('date not found');
For the rest a little harder to help.

Try this, maybe help.

procedure ParseMovie(MovieURL : String; HTML : String);
var
curPos, endPos : Integer;
New Name : String;
begin

.
.
.

AddFieldValueXML('title', New Name);
or
AddFieldValue(mfTitle, New Name);
