Support / Re: DVD vts filepath change problem

Wouldn't that suggest you don't have a regex that properly matches the pathname pattern being used? As a result, the scanner may think (for example) any such file found is for the title Spillefilm—and therefore recommending a pathname change.
Well, I'm using the default set of regexpressions...

I assume these reflect your normal pathname structure/pattern and this is an isolated case. In other words, your regex handle lots of other such files properly. Maybe something has gone awry with the prefix handling. Does it happen if "The " is removed from \The Wrestler (2008)?

I've actually just had 3 dvd's, mostly for testing PvdImport. All three of them got mixed up in the way my previous post shows. I just deleted the third one to isolate the problem.

so it's difficult to imagine the program logic that would compare a new filename with one already matched and decide which is the "right" one. I suppose it could be done based on some arbitrary rules, but that would make things more complex.
Well, there are algorithms that compare "distances" between strings. Such an algorithm would surely find "blades of glory" closer to "blades of glory" than "glory" when you strip away the extension ;)

But anyways, your tip including the year seems to have cleared most of the problems.

However, I have three videos in VTS format, stored in the following structure [movie name]\video_ts\*.* Now, the first time I scan the files, the scanner manages to relate all the VTS files to the correct movie. Upon the next scan, two of the DVDs come up with "change file path". Closer inspection shows that the VTS files of the third movie is all mixed into the former two. Any ideas on how to fix this? (year) doesn't help..

to begin with, I have the following examples on disk, in the same folder:
sling blade.iso
blade.iso

blades of glory.iso
glory.iso

and so on.

Initially, all these videos are properly tagged with distinct and correct filenames.

However, when I now scan the disk, PVD wants to change the file path of sling blade.iso to blade.iso, blades of glory.iso to glory.iso.

What gives?

Service.

I think You need to have the database file on the same computer that is running firebird (ie not accessed across a network). Options are

The database file IS located on the same computer as the Firebird server.

The "Connect to server" option is made for exactly the same cases and seems to work for a number of users. Are you using the latest PVD version? Could it be an access rights issue in windows? What is the exact error message? Which path do you enter to connect to the database?
o Using .14
o Access rights: Possibly, but I have no idea. The connection was attempted between two vista machines.
o I did this at my sisters home and I don't have the exact error message. The message number was 401 from firebird which is related to authentication
o Path: <computername>:<local computer path>

Maybe a logon to the computer itself is somehow needed?

Have you tried copying the database to the remote computer?

I forgot to mention that the DB is located on the server. The client (implemented in PVD) shall run on another computer.

Support / Firebird Authentication?
« on: December 11, 2009, 09:30:40 am »
Has anyone tried to run PVD as a client running on another computer than the server?

I'm getting firebird 401 errors which indicates that there is something wrong with the user authentication. Where are username and password for server mode in PVD?

My "use case" is that I've installed the server on an HTPC which runs JRiver Media Center (JRMC). PvdImport is used to connect JRMC to PVD. I'd like to run PVD from client laptops so that the metadata acquirement process is moved away from the HTPC.

I then cleared the field of information, and tried to retrieve the information again, and this time it worked fine.

I have seen this too. It happens even if the plugin is set to overwrite the field.

Support / moddate not updated when images are added/changed for a movie
« on: December 02, 2009, 01:29:27 pm »
Hi,

in .14, moddate isn't changed when an image is added or changed for a movie record.

I'm interested in a proper update of this field because of my Plugin, PvdImport which imports PVD data into JRiver Media Center.

I've implemented an auto update function which imports metadata into JR MC when records are changed in PVD. Currently, this auto update function doesn't work for images since moddate doesn't seem to be updated when images are added/updated.

if pvd import will fill in all tags for sidecars in jriver for the movies? or do those all have to be entered manually too? release dates,  actors, genres etc...
PvdImport doesn't "take any direct action" wrt. updating the sidecar files.

But since PvdImport can fill in a lot of tags, and surely the ones you mention above, I guess you'd have to rely on the JRiver MC mechanisms to achieve this. Isn't there an option in the right click context menu called "write data to tags" or something?

I've deselected the jr sidecar option in MC and deleted all the .xml files. I don't really see the point in having these files anyways.

Support / Re: Difference between "title" and "origtitle"?
« on: November 29, 2009, 03:30:19 pm »
It turns out that this really isn't an issue after all. I've now set up JRiver MC to display .Orig Title as the title in theater view. This means that the origtitle field in PVD now is nicely displayed in the info panel.

The mc [Name] field is still displayed below the thumbnail; would you know how to change that to my own field? In theater view, using the name caption "If(IsEmpty([.Original Title]),[Name],[.Original Title])" works well...

Title is the name you or the file scanner assigns to the record. If you have the field set to be overwritten, a download plugin will replace it with the title according to the online source.

I don't see title being replaced by origtitle. Both fields are set to be overwritten.

If i import from imdb from scratch, the name becomes #<>.<>, and imdb fails (more or less) because all episodes of the series are listed.

If I do an import from thetvdb, the correct episode is picked, but the name (title) remains. orig title is ok.

(I expect to post a new release of PvdImport soon, btw. Did you have any luck with auto update?)

« on: November 27, 2009, 08:45:13 pm »
What exactly is the difference between these fields? I see that they are different for some movies, and that for TVseries, title is #<season>.<episode> whereas origtitle is the name of that particular episode.

I also see that origtitle is missing from quite a few movies even if they were successfully looked up on imdb and allmovie.com

in jriver forum link says video_ts... so hoping thats right will try that.
That should do it. PvdImport "translates" the <path>\video_ts.dvd;1 [Filename] in jriver MC to <path>\video_ts.ifo so that the file can be looked up in the PVD database.

The "dvd;1" extension is just something yaobing (?) came up with to "group" all the dvd files together.

hi ive just chose pvd to import movies and now its brought up file location, select files to include for destination. do i choose all or just one of the vts files? so that in jriver only one file shows up for the specific movie.
TY

If you're using PvdImport to hook up JRMC to PVD, only the .ifo file is needed. (http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=54918.msg373598#msg373598)
