Feature Suggestions / Re: managing backup copies of video files
« on: September 22, 2011, 10:17:12 pm »
Thanks very much.

I don't know this one (Cobian Backup). In fact I don't need backup to be maintained automatically (don't need backup for all files) and I need backup to be erased when I erase a File, or to be replaced by a new one when I replace a file of the same name (but different extension avi -> mkv) by another one.
I'll give a try anyway, may be It will do the trick one way or another.
Thanks again.

sounds like you need only to mirror some of your videofolders. there are some good backup-tools, which can be configured "how" to backup your files.
the only small bitter pill is, when you replace for example an *.avi with *.mkv, you have to change the path to the file manually.

this would be the only improvement in PVD i can think of -> if you click on "Scan folders for new movies/changed path" PVD would search "clever" and replace the extension if changed (if the former file doesn't exists and the "new" file has exactly the same filename without extension).

Feature Suggestions / Age rating of movies (MPAA, FSK...)
« on: June 29, 2011, 02:08:13 pm »
Hi,

nice to read your back nostra  :).

my feature request: it would be nice, if theres a (dropdown) field for the age rating of a video to select NC-17 or FSK18 for example.
Even better would be showing a nice logo of the rating :) (lukily, there a plenty of on wikipedia).
The "preferred" rating system could be chosen in the options dialog.

thanks in advance

Support / Re: Poster Import (AMAZON.COM) 404 PAGE NOT FOUND
« on: January 17, 2011, 01:52:26 pm »
Amazon search engine seems to have problems with slashes /. Titles are added to the URL by the main application and  making the plugin to control this behavior is a bit too much work for this rare case. I will take another look at the problem when I have some more free time.

Wouldn't it be possible just to "blacklist" such characters and replace them with an space for searching? Maybe there are some more "illegal" characters for amazon ;).

You're not alone  :-\. I've tried to search for a poster for the 2nd and 3rd part of "Naked Gun" and i've got the same error :(. (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0102510/ and http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0110622/).

So, it would be nice to be fixed :).

(using PVD v0.9.9.21, Amazon.de v0.1.1.6, Amazon.com v0.4.3.6)

Feature Suggestions / Re: "Read only" for IMDB / OFDB rating in "View mode"
« on: September 16, 2010, 11:09:35 am »
...Hiding non-filled IMDb rating seems not so good to me. It could help me to remind me to import it (some kind of visual reminder).

Nice to know I’m not alone with this wish ;).
A #workaround# would be “View → Plain view” and “View → Sort by → IMDB rating”.
On top (or bottom) you'll find the missing ratings.

Feature Suggestions / "Read only" for IMDB / OFDB rating in "View mode"
« on: September 16, 2010, 09:18:18 am »
Hi all,

first of all, thanks (again? :-) ) for this great program!!

I think the “Allow editing rating in view mode” (Preferences → Misc) is a very useful option, but needs a little improvement. It would be nice if the web-ratings (IMDB, OFDB) stay read only and only the own rating will be editable. So it's impossible to accidentally change the original rating.

For some cosmetic purpose it would be nice to hide for example the IMDB rating, if its not yet imported.

Thanks in advance

Support / OFDB-Plugin doesn't import "Also known as" field
« on: September 16, 2010, 08:58:50 am »
Hi all,

i recently noticed a tiny bug in the actual PVD version (0.9.9.21). The OFDB-Plugin seems to ignore the field "Also known as". It occurred reproducible for example with the movies "Raw Deal" (http://www.ofdb.de/film/1490,Der-City-Hai) and "Old Men in New Cars" (http://www.ofdb.de/film/25660,Old-Men-in-New-Cars) with a fresh installation on Win 7.

The plugin worked correctly in a past release, unfortunately I don't know when exactly the bug crept in ;-).

Feature Suggestions / Allow only one instance
« on: May 02, 2010, 05:55:44 pm »
Hi Developers,

a simple but nice feature would be the option to allow only one instance running. It's a bit annoying, if you accidentally start the PVD while it's already in the notification area, and there are 3 error-messages to click off (because of file locking).

thanks a lot

Support / Bug: Deleting Posters
« on: December 31, 2009, 02:02:58 pm »
Hi PVD-Developers,

first of all, thanks for that great programm :-).

but, a tiny but annoying bug about posters: If the image is too small, there is no proper chance to delete it.

A solution would be placing the editing buttons ("Use as default", "Load image from file"....) below the poster in edit-mode.

thanks
wms
