Support / [SOLVED] How to export a custom field?
« on: October 09, 2010, 08:53:37 pm »
I don't understand the manual on this subject. If I have a custom field named "Price", how do I export it in a CVS file? What's the syntax? I tried {%value=price custom=true}, but that doesn't work...

Support / PVD 0.9.9.14 switches day/month of "date added"
« on: September 16, 2009, 04:06:13 pm »
I did a fresh installation of 0.9.9.14, and copied my collection from 0.9.9.11 over. I noticed that when I modify the "date added" on a newly added movie, no matter what I do, it places the month before the day (m-d-yyyy). When I modify movies from my .11 backup, it works properly on those. Anything I can do about this?

Feature Suggestions / include episodes in simple search results
« on: August 08, 2009, 02:58:06 pm »
It seems to me the best way to enter a boxset in PVD is to add the box, then include the movies as 'episodes'. This works well, but when you click for example on an actor's name, the results wont include other movies. Maybe for a future PVD version this behavior could be altered to regard episodes as movies when listing credits, doing searches, etc?

Support / DVD becomse unusable after PVD reads it
« on: August 07, 2009, 03:03:05 pm »
After I let PVD 0.9.9.11 read my DVD data, the DVD can't be played anymore by either PVD or any DVD player software, and Windows 7 shows the filesize of all the files on the DVD as 0 kb. I also noticed that after I put in another DVD, Windows still thinks the old one is in the drive (it ignores changing the disc). I'm using a USB Blu-ray drive, and to solve the issue I have to replug the drive. I'm using a 64-bit build of Windows 7. Not sure if this is related to PVD, USB or Win7, but I figured I'd post it nonetheless.

Feature Suggestions / browse titles by cover/poster
« on: August 03, 2009, 10:38:38 am »
Coming from Movie Collector, one of its best features was being able to switch from a column that lists titles like PVD does, to a column that displays all the covers or posters. This makes browsing your collection more fun, and it also makes it easier to spot a DVD you're looking for (if you bought it not too long ago, otherwise you would better just search for the title).

Feature Suggestions / import Technical Specs from IMDb
« on: August 03, 2009, 09:58:58 am »
I think it would be a usefull addition if PVD could import the technical specs of a movie as listed on the IMDb (example). I often check this information to make sure the aspect ratio of my DVD is correct (i.e. the same as listed on the IMDb). I hate finding out the DVD I just bought has the wrong aspect ratio!

Plus I find it interestion to know what sort of camera was used, if a movie was shot on film or digital, that sort of information.

Support / Just migrated from Movie Collector, how to transfer 1000 covers?
« on: July 28, 2009, 05:14:34 pm »
Hi,

I've been using Movie Collector for a few years, but they are charging way too much for very little, so I decided to move to something better: PVD. I managed to export my thousand DVD's to TXT, convert that to Excel, and then import the collection to PVD. However, I can't seem to find a way to import the covers? In Movie Collector the covers are stored in a folder, and every movie points to the location of the cover in that folder. I have exported this path along the other movie details I wanted, but it seems PVD doesn't work this way? I managed to get PVD to not only store the image in the database, but also in a folder. Is it possible to put all my covers in that folder and convert my Movie Collector paths to PVD paths?

I hope I don't have to manually add them all. Most of them can't be downloaded from Amazon (I have alot of Asian and Dutch DVD's).
