Title: Some errors adding movies
Post by: Obelix on February 22, 2010, 11:14:40 am

Hi!

I have some trouble adding new movies to my PVD.
The standard plugin for movie description is OFDB [DE] (for Germany). The details for this plugin is ofdb.com (that page doesn't seem to exist). Fetching movie details result in english descriptions instead of german.
Switching to Zelluloid [DE] results in missing movie description. The title, year, etc. is collected. No description, no comment.

Any suggestions?

Best regards,
Obelix

Check your field overwrite settings for these plugins/scripts (Tools -> Preferences -> Plugins)

hmmm. ok, I had a look at it. all checked for both plugins. but that does not explain, why I get english descriptions from OFDB when set as standard. when doing a manual import with OFDB I get german texts.

I tried to import some movies from my HDD and had to delete the result. setting zelluloid as standard and doing a manual import with OFDM worked fine (as far as movie data was found)

This sound very strange. Could you please describe the exact step by step procedure to reproduce the problem.

It's little strange. The described behavior happens only when searching the HDD and automatically collect the infos from web. When manually adding a movie I do get an entry in the left list for each poster I select, but no description. To get the description I have to do "Import -> [DE] Filmdaten....". Mostly then I get descriptions. After that I can remove one of the two entries.

I will try to find out more - but currently busy with the PocketPC client. I have to include some filters (as far as I have the information in the XML export), save some settings and manage the skinning. After that (may be tomorrow or so) the first version will be released. ;)

Can you provide your pvdconf.ini file? (is normally located in "C:\Documents and Settings\%USERNAME%\Application Data\Personal Video Database\")

Sounds great :)
