Hi. I'm using PVD 0.9.9.21 on Win 7.
When, in a movie, the director is also producer or writer PVD doesn't recognize him as the same person. If i add people information for the director...the same person in the writer or producer field doesn't have alink to the same informations (is still blue).
Otherwise when this happens with an actor (if an actor is also producer or writer or composer) it all works fine ???

It's very common (i.e., more likely than not) a director is also a producer or screenwriter, and yet I've never seen this. So I'm sure the problem is with the source (FilmUP?) and not the program. If this is the case, consider using IMDb for people and FilmUP (or other Italian sources) for other information.

Uhm I'm not sure but... PVD takes only strings from the web, not database linkings and relationships, dont'it?
If so PVD should recognize same person and linkin it to same informations.
If not I need some suggestions because I use my own script. It works very well and i would keep using it. Should I tell the program when two names are the same person with my script?

No, in the case of the IMDb People plugin, it is clearly maintaining the relationships—no doubt using the URL to identify people (particularly those already in the database). I don't know if that's possible with a script. You can include the URL when adding a person, but I don't know if the program is able to check for an existing record. :-\

When adding a movie/person using your script make sure you put always the same values for titles/names and year. It is also better if you provide URL whenever possible.

I'm sure the name is exactly the same but i dont' include URL for peoples.... i'll try to include it and see what it happens. Thank you ^^
