Run run the script overnight and see what you've got in the morning.

So, just to let you know, I did what you suggested to me, and this morning I found 1530 records with allmovie data, which is about 27% of all. Quite satisfied. Thank you for your time, too.

Yes they are set. Why?

I'm trying to filter episodes not in collection, that are imported by mistake (imdb plugin option "Download epsiodes" was unintentionally turned on).

So, I filtered series, than tried to apply "Not in collection (0, or IS NULL)" advanced search. "In colection (-1)" search with such filtered "Series only" list works fine?  ???

Unfortunately, as I said, nethier of those work: blank, 0 (zero), or IS NULL... :-\

It's u custom checkbox field "In Collection"...

6000 movies times few seconds more...  :-\

I agree with you, it sounds logic to import data for the unique records found, though...

EDIT: I just managed to import a movie this way: My Wrongs 8245-8249 and 117. But it's too unique even for the uniques, it seems :o

In Advanced search, to get the ones that are checked in check box, the string is "=-1". But what is the opposite? Neither is blank, or 0, 1 or NULL?

You are really one big "Lucky" and you really are very lucky because I was able to fulfill your request.

Just let me know when you're in Belgrade. Beer's on me!  ;)
I don't understand the part about "Realeses/Features", but never mind. Thanks once again.

You're not likely to save more time than what you're asking Ivek to spend. Run run the script overnight and see what you've got in the morning.

Rick, can you clarify the scenario, please. I'm all ears (In case I wasn't the clear one, I don't have any allmovie record so far, so nothing will happen with silent mode on).

Thanks a lot Ivek. It works just as you described it.

Now, could you consider to create a "quick" allmovie script, just like you did for IMDb, for example? Just url, title and rating, let's say.

At least, I'd adapt one for my needs, if you'd describe me what "parts" of the code are obligatory for the script to work, beside url, title and rating sections. You can just publish script that works but imports nothing ("dummy" one, and I'd compare two scripts and set it for my needs. Don't laugh, I just don't know anything about programming, some basic, pascal and FORTRAN 25 years ago, and that's all, but helpful. ;D

This I need because I'm planning to import allmovie data for my all movies (~6000), and since it's impossible silent mode on to work with your script, I'd have to spend as less as possible time first to get urls for each single entry. In a second row, I'd turn the silent mode on, and let your full script to work the rest.

Thanks in advance.

Ivek,

v0113 is better than v0112. It now deletes extra paragraph spaces added when importing to a "Review" field, where the photos were on the site review tab. Great work, thank you!

I have a very, very personal and selfish appeal to you. Is it reasonable for you to save All Movie synopsis to some other field by default ("Comments", for eample). Is it possible, in addition to offer custom field for synopsis. Thanks in advance.

Support / IMDB Plugin 0.9.8.19 doesn't import main page title to a "Title" field
« on: April 30, 2013, 02:18:25 pm »
 I believe it is enough to see the pictures attached, to percieve the problem, but if you anyway want to read, here it is.

1. When there's  Local release title on imdb.com it is stated on the main page as Tile (main title) - SEE picture 2.jpg attached. (my bad assigning names to pictures)

2. When importing to PVD, Local release title (as a main title from the main page) is imported to <title> ("Ttile") field, and the original title is imported to <origtitle> ("Original title") field. Properly! - SEE picture 1.jpg attached. (my bad assigning names to pictures)

3. When there's no Local release title stated on the main page, international (English) title, if there is one, is stated on the main page as Title (main title) - SEE picture 3.jpg attached.

4. In the case stated under 3. IMDB Plugin 0.9.8.18 imports original movie title from the imdb to <origtitle> ("Original title") field, but also imports original movie title to a PVD <title> ("Title") field, instead to import main, international (English) title, as stated on a page?! - SEE picture 4.jpg attached

Why is that? Am I doing something wrong?

Example: Manitou's Shoe

I don't know what you're using Bookmarks for now, but the fact it seems to be permanent suggests the purpose might be better served with a custom field. Bookmarks are most useful for using on-the-fly for temporary purposes (like flagging files for further processing). There are assigned shortcuts and toolbar buttons for adding and clearing them, which are really needed for that sort of use.

Being a visual type, I use "Bookmark" to color my "1001 movies you must see before you die" movies collection which I haven't completed yet. So, it is on-the-fly use, but the flight is long distance one ;D . This way, I can easily track and spot them while browsing my movie list for any purpose: what to watch for example, without the need to multiple filter the movie list. I don't want to filter the list, actually: I want to decide on the fly while browsing being aware of the specifity of the movie . Also, I use it as a control field: are the number of bookmarked movies equal to a number of movies that are assigned custom field's "Collections" value: "1001 Movies...". And I use every other single available color for their original purpose, so browsing through list is much more comfortable and faster, and without much prior filtering.

Custom color assigning would be more of a help, and would be a nice new feature, I admit. Further more, imagine filtering by color then? Nice, isn't it?

If what you mean is error messages the program displays (if Silent Mode is off) don't appear in the log, it may be because the plugin (which is creating the log) knows nothing about the error—it simply stops working and has nothing to report.

Excactly that was my point: if PVD (or who ever do) knows and generates the error "No movie's found :(" in silent mode off, why is not possible PVD to collect all those messages in silent mode on in a single log file? That's all I need!

Regarding Ivek's script code, I thought maybe log messages are generating, but not sterd somewhere. I don't know anything about scripting, programming, etc...

I don't know if it's bug, but some movies need incredibly much more time to get data from IMDb with this RC (to "get through /technical"), than with the 0.9.x version (or it's updating the database in issue in this case?). It's like minute or so with RC per some movies, unlike dozen of seconds with 0.9.x version, no matter how many times to retrieve data for the same movie.

Both versions installed on the same machine, and the movie is Tron: Legacy

Btw, I found this piece of code in Ivek's script. Don't know if it's in the matter...
Code: [Select]
if R > 0 then
LogMessage(' Rating: ' + IntToStr(R) + '/10')
else
LogMessage(' Rating: NR or error');
Anyway, to relax a bit, I also found this piece of code:
Code: [Select]
if R > 0 then
if GET_RATING then
AddFieldValue(mfRating, IntToStr(R));
if R > 0 then
AddCustomFieldValueByName('AllMovie rating', IntToStr(R));

Speaking of NULLs will this work against 'em? :o

Wow! Thanks a lot for an answer. It sure did take some time to made it, and I really appreciate it.

I read your post thoroughly, and I see your point. And I agree with your scenario in a lack of better one. And I think you might not thought that there were some "plot holes" in this scenario. The biggest one for sure would be under 4.

But I'll sum it up in a simple sentence: A simple additional messages in a log file: "Movie "Neprijatelj" not found! on xxx.com" and "Movie "Neprijatelj" not found! on xxx.com because of socket error/no internet connection/no such host", would be more of a help and it'd effectively replace steps 2-7 (prior to step 3, replaces step 1).

Meanwhile, as always while having discussion with you, I got an idea. This time it is to "mimic" your scenario. Because my "Bookmark" command is not available for other purposes, I'll create custom field "Mass Update/Import", fill it in with something for all the movies I'm going to update, then to all movies I'll clear some common data for all sites (Title, for example, but I have to test this), I'll update info, then (but for sure not by using any NULL search ;D ) search ones with no "Title" imported and revise them manually. At the end, of course, to clear custom field of data.

Thanks for your time, once again.

Oh, not NULL again!  ;D Didn't we found back then that we never could confirmed for sure that data IS NUL, or empty (blank), or just zero... ;D

However, please let's get back to the topic. First, thanks for an answer rick.

But...

I already have a list of movies, keeping bookmarked and updated for other reason. Nevertheless, I'm not sure if I was clear. I already have movie data in PVD for those 100 movies. I just want to update their info, like you wanted to update IMDb's Top 250 the other day. How you're safe your top 250 were updated for sure? Before answering to this, please read the following.

After silent mode on we don't know anything for sure, I think.

I believe a log as I described it, only could be helpful. Why?

Because, on the contrary, using actual -debug log isn't much of a help. We don't get almost any parsing reason:

- No movie's found on the site (there is no one, or there is for sure, but my title is wrong)
- No new/changed data found on the site
- Was the movie updated with new/changed original data from the site

The only thing we can get from log file is if the movie was parsed because of a socket error, no internet connection.

Now, imagine combining scripts. Imagine testing scripts and continuous testing updates in a row. That's where I'm in now, and I have to be assured that every PVD entry is properly processed. And that's how I conclude that only the log file could be helpful. Please, try to put yourself into this perspective.

Or, just tel me about how you processed your "Top 250" movie list.

Great player. Once you set it up, which is not that easy, you get optimum experience.
I use it with LAV CUVID filters, combined with SVP and Bahgravi skinned.

Nice point to start - here

Thanks rick.

Then some option by design for a "url" field in Preferences to store a movie/person link as a text?

I know, I know. We have holidays here, and I have some extra time not using it to get a life ;D
