Support / Set ID starting point
« on: January 13, 2020, 02:13:29 pm »
I use the ID as a reference to my discs. Utilizing different ID series (1000, 5000 etc) to designate locations.
Is there a way to set the starting ID number when adding discs?
Right now PVD insists the next ID is in my 1000 series. I'd like to be able to change this as needed.

Thanks

I get the Subject error ( invalid class typecast ) when trying to import 'Beyond the Trek' from TheMovieDB and get 'IOHandler value is not valid' if i try from AMAZON [EN].
I have used either of these sources successfully for years.
Any help would be appreciated.

Support / ID Field Question
« on: July 10, 2012, 09:53:40 pm »
I use the ID field as an index to my DVDs. What effect does adding a prefix such as 'TV-' to the number? I'd like to distinguish TV series from my movie DVDs.
Any other suggestion as to how and differentiate storage location would be appreciated.

Support / No Movie Images from New Movie Master
« on: January 11, 2012, 08:47:11 pm »
This started a month or so ago; when I create a new movie master everything is imported correctly but no images. If I them try to import the poster from Amazon.com I get the message no movies found.
They only way to get an image for a movie is to save the jpg from the internet and then add the file to the movie record.

Thanks you for looking into this,

This has occurred twice right at the end of loading a new movie master. no big deal as I can ignore the message and the load works ok.

Just thought I'd let you know,

Would be nice if an upgrade .16 to .18 preserved my skin.... not a biggie but perhaps an easy fix

Feature Suggestions / Some ideas....
« on: March 12, 2010, 02:05:47 pm »
Hi all,
Love the package, I am a Movienizer convert and glad i made the switch. Some ideas after hacking around with my meager 200 movie database. have it installed on a homebased server and shared throughout the house, neat.

Some ideas to ponder:

  • Display a help word or two when the mouse hovers over a toolbar icon... Edit, Save etc. Helpful for casual users.
  • Auto re-sort the movie list upon edit exit. I correct the title and then have to jump through hoops to get it sorted where it belongs.
  • display multiple images, a nice row across the bottom of the display, maybe make it an option, stacked or as a row.
  • customizable toolbar with more optionsFound this feature...Nice!
  • user definable fields... would like at least two... with filter / search options
PS if you ever decide to start charging PLEASE do it in a civil manor.... without warning Movienizer put a time limit / price tag on a newly released version and did not notify the user until the new version was installed and the time limit running.... nice marketing ploy!

Thanks for the great software

Support / Connecting to database on server
« on: February 13, 2010, 01:20:50 pm »
I have been a long time user of Movienizer until they pulled a fast one and started charging for their latest update, without any prior notification. I do not mind the charge but just the way they did it. You install the new update and then find out there is a time limit unless you pay... very poor practice. To boot their license is for one computer only...

I thought I found a replacement with PVD until i discovered, and read here, that it will not work on a mapped shared drive. I store my movie data on a shared drive and access it from at least two computers. I did see that you mention a server for this purpose but can not locate any information on just what it does.... I find this a serious limitation considering how many households are networked and sharing information.

So for now thank you for this great database, I will continue my search for a Movienizer replacement.
