Support / IMDB not importing after system rebuild

« on: October 24, 2011, 02:58:33 am »

GDay All,

I just finished installing Win7-64 Professional on a completely new system and setup PVD v0.9.9.21.

Now the IMDB plugin will not download any info other than the URL.

Anyone have any ideas what may be wrong?

Support / Amazon.com problem

« on: August 19, 2011, 09:36:51 pm »

GDay All,

I have PVD set to download images from Amazon.com but lately whenever I add a video PVD will search for photos then present a dialog to select a suitable image, then it will search again and present the dialog again. After selecting an image for the second time it appears to download the image but then it pops up a dialog saying 'No Movie Found'.

If I import the image via Amazon.co.uk everything works as expected.

This started happening just before the last update but has continued after updating.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Feature Suggestions / Feature Requests

« on: December 06, 2010, 07:30:17 am »

GDay All,

I would like to suggest the following:

1. A play button that invokes Windows Media Center instead of Windows Media Player, without changing filetype associations. Useful if you have a Media Center remote

2. A function that allows one to save all poster images to a designated folder, particularly useful when the images are stored within the database.

Cheers and season greetings to all.

Support / Skinning questions

« on: November 17, 2010, 07:54:19 am »

I have a question though, in the current skin .xml files, are comments allowed? and if so what is the correct syntax?

I'm hoping that one of the improvements would be the layout of the skin .xml files. At present it is difficult to distinguish which element is which.

Perhaps each element could be named EG:

<Element Poster>
  <size></size>
  <position></position>
  etc...
</Element>

<Element Information>
  <size></size>
  <position></position>
  <font></font>
  etc...
</Element>

That would definitely aid in skin design.

One problem that I have noticed in PVD 1.0.0.0 is the photo toolbar. The one that appears when you mouseover a poster. It still shows random background images behind the buttons.

Support / Problem adding TV episodes - v0.9.9.21

« on: May 27, 2010, 08:03:15 pm »

GDay All,

I have a problem when adding TV shows and their various episodes. On at least two occasions my list of episodes have simply vanished and yes I checked the 'view menu' and all settings there were set to show all listings.

The movie total also decreased accordingly, almost as if I had deleted the list, but I can assure you that I did no such thing!

This happened while I was editing an episode!!

On one other occasion all my carefully added and properly titled episodes were replaced by a 'fresh' non updated list with only the standard list titles (EG: #1.1) and no episode data etc.

Very disconcerting indeed!!

For now, I have resorted to manually adding the list of episodes using the context menu item 'add episode' and so far this method has proven to be fairly reliable, but very time consuming especially since I have 11 seasons of M*A*S*H to add!!

Also, when adding episodes manually, I often get a regular movie listing along with the episode listing. This happens whenever I add imdb information to an episode. It would appear that it is fetching the information twice or from two different sources and then placing the data from each source into a seperate listing.

Another problem I noticed is that when adding the video file address manually (using the file browse dialog), the media type is not always set correctly, and this leads to some very strange behaviour of the file text box.

The file address appears to be truncated, only showing part of the address, and when you delete the visible part of the address, another part of the address appears. I needed to do that three times before the address was gone and before I noticed the incorrect number being in the media type box.

Replacing the media type number to the correct '1' for a HDD listing, restored the file address box to its correct behaviour.

I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate OEM 32bit on an i7 920/Asus P6T Deluxe board (3GB Mem) with dual Asus VW222U Monitors connected to 2 Asus/ATI HD4870 Video cards in crossfire mode and PVD v0.9.9.21 with the default Classic Skin.

This is the first time I have tried PVD and so far, I like it very much!!

Support / Problem with Photo Toolbar - v0.9.9.21

« on: May 27, 2010, 07:55:58 pm »

GDay All,

I have some minor problems with the photo toolbar (the one that appears when your mouse moves over a photo or screenshot).

First problem, The Toolbar moves randomly whenever I move the mouse over the buttons making it hard to actually click on the intended button. This problem is most evident if the placeholder is empty, IE: no picture, but also occurs when a picture is present.

Second problem, the background for the toolbar often shows random images from various parts of the page, making it hard to see the actual buttons.
