Personal Video Database

Is anyone else having trouble replying to most topics or creating a new one?  This is the only section I could find where the "reply" button was available.

I was able to make a new post in one of the other sections. Didn't realize others were having problems. Glad I stumbled across THIS section, or I might have thought the site was dead entirely. =(

Now I'm getting an "Exception raised in sslstart" from Proxomitron whenever PVD attempts to connect.

Hi,

I need to export all the posters and screenshots from my PVD database. Most (if not all) movies have a single poster (which is really the DVD box cover)... some have a single screenshot, while others may have two or three. I've played around with the XML export template, but can't get it to do what I want.

I'd like to export the posters with filenames like "<title>-poster-<n>.jpg", and the screenshots as "<title>-screenshot-<n>.jpg", where "<title>" is the movie title, and "<n>" is the number of the image (where multiple images exist for a given movie).

So I modified a copy of the "XML (Movies)" export template, deleting most of the movie fields except for Title, adding "<screenshots>{%value=screenshots}</screenshots>"after the Posters line, and added the following line in the "%OPTIONS% section:

imagenameformat="%t%-%fs%-%in%%ext%"
Running the export seems to generate images with the correct filenames in the "images" subfolder.  "%t%" gets replaced by the movie title, "%fs%" is replaced by either "poster" or "screenshot", "%n%" gets replaced by a number (usually "1"), and "%ext%" gets replaced by ".jpg", as expected.

However, PVD is only exporting the FIRST image in each category. In other words, if a movie has multiple posters or screenshots, PVD only exports the first one.

How do I modify this so that it exports ALL the posters and screenshots, and numbers them appropriately?

This window always appears for the first time. If you allow for session, the popup window will no longer show up until you close Proxomitron and restart it. This is the only option that there is no occurrence of this window, as far as I have noticed until now, except, if there is any new information that needs to be confirmed in this window.

I figured it had to be something like that. Thanks, Ivek.

I tell you, it's sad that we PVD users have to resort to jumping through hoops to keep this program working. I wish Nostra would just release the source code as open-source and be done with it. Let someone else with actual interest in the program take it over.

Updated script due to ADE HTML changes (again)...

(Note: this does not solve the use of enforced HTTPS on ADE, see http://www.videodb.info/forum_en/index.php/topic,4083.0.html and http://www.videodb.info/forum_en/index.php/topic,4108.0.html for help with that.

Hmm, I don't get that pop-up at all. I also open the Proxomitron log window, and aside from references to hashing adlist and aliaslist when I manually re-load the config file, I see no activity at all.

I tried temporarily setting my Windows internet settings to use the proxy at 127.0.0.1/port 80, then type "http://www.adultempire.com" into my web browsers, but they immediately redirect to "https://www.adultempire.com" and the page fails to load ("Can't reach this page", "400 Bad request", etc.). This happens in Firefox, Edge, and IE11.

P.S. - running all of this on Windows 10 64-bit, fully updated (including Fall Creators Update). I did a search and it seems Proxo should work on Win10...

Still not working right... I've got the new ADE script in my scripts folder, installed and configured Proxomitron per your other post, set PVD to use localhost/80 for proxy, yet every time I try to run an import via ADE script, it fails with  "HTTP 1.1 404 Not Found".

What am I missing here?

One more bug I discovered, when you run the script it does a search on ADE based on your specified movie title, and displays a list of the matches found in a window so you can select the best match. But the last item in said list is always blank... and if the search only returned one hit to begin with, then all you get is a blank box.

I'll try to work on this when I can, but considering ADE's search engine always returns dozens of hits for almost every search, it's not a real high priority for me.

The Adult DVD Empire Script Needs a Major Update

I just posted an update to the ADE script in the scripting sub-forum. Fixes a few problems with the website since TBach1979 posted his request, still has one or two issues, but it's better than nothing.

(P.S. - I am not the original author of the script.)

More fixes... script wasn't finding Genre or Studio or Duration or Release Date, the list of actors was getting extra (bad) entries, the director's name was getting extra text appended to it, the Release Date was formatted incorrectly (and not stored). And, if a producer was present, the script would go into an infinite loop (yikes!) because it wasn't being parsed correctly.

Hopefully this covers most of the recent site changes.
