Personal Video Database

I think I got it.

Instead of
AddCustomFieldValueByName('Title1',TmpStr2);

I put

AddCustomFieldValueByName('Title1',TmpStr1);

Am i right?

Ok, but that is not quite good approach, if you ask me. For such things I have made dozens of custom fields. If you use default skin, then they will be automatically visible once you define such custom fields in Preferences->Custom items (just add "memo" field and name it as you like it)

Thanks. I'll try that too!

3. Which script loaded that "- 3D version (14.6GB)..." content into comments field from your picture above? It looks very strange to me. Into comments field should be loaded user comments from IMDb.

Thanks for responses on 1, 2, and 4.

1. I know nothing about scripting, just using common sense. Unfortunately, it is not possible to put all scripts into one script, Ivek already told us that - some because they need proxomitron, some for other (coding, as I understood) reasons. We discussed all that very recently. What is needed is to read, read and read before asking. Then, one can say, I've read a lot on the forum, but couldn't find an answer for...
That is usual behavior on all forums and search engine on the forum can help us a lot while looking for an info.
Nobody likes 127.0.0.1 "thing" but PVD is so powerful comparing to others, that it is less job to use that in PVD, then to achieve the same goal with other catalogers. A lot, lot of options are even not available in other catalogers. Not to speak about customizing...
2. IMDb is again in a transition process, so the scripts will inevitably need updating. It was announced on IMDb recently, we discussed it immediately here, I have wrote about that here, so I've decided to do mass update of all my movies just in case future scripting gets to dead end. again, all of that is written here recently. So, good to know which fields don't work anymore. But, for example, custom movie field "IMDb Category" still works, so you can use that one for movies (I can't check at the moment for the series).
3. If I properly understand you, you can stop importing any info by un-checikng it in its configuration (it's the third small icon beside script name - look your picture above where you rounded batch file with red elipse). To be sure, uncheck desired option both in a script configuration as well as in the batch file configuration where the svript is included.
4. I've asked you if it's true what you said that nostra - the author of PVD is dead and how do you know, but you didn't give me that answer, so I am asking you again, please.

Thanks Ivek,

I hope your Win 7 is now top notch. At the moment I'm doing mass IMDb update, so cannot check it in a few days, but will let you know once I finish IMDb update.

I put those dll's and proxo.exe to proxomitron folder, and now I can see new "HTTPS" tab in config. Should I check "Use SSLeay/OpenSSl..." option in "HTTP" config tab?

Also, where to put openssl.exe? I already have installed openssl from earlier and it's on the PATH already. Do I need this one exactly?

Also, my antivirus found this openssl.exe to bi a virus in this zip archive. Should I be worried?

You have to apply scripts at the exact order as I wrote on the other topic. Then, you will get everything.

Sorry, I am talking about "Cinema" field which is filled by the script from the topic subject?

I put the screenshot to compare what fields are available in "Full Credits" field, and what data from those are scraped to "Cinema" field?

And in a script, "GET_FULL_CREW_CREDIT  = True" is then confusing and missleading?

EDIT: Also, if it's redundant on IMDb, and it is, then it is redundant in PVD as well. The redundancy isn't that big? It's just a text and we inevitably are getting faster and faster computers?

My database is 30GB at the moment and it will be around 70GB when I enter the rest of the photos, my computer is from 2012 and PVD is very, very fast. The one just need SSD.

I can only imagine how fast PVD will be when I buy actual date computer?

We have to think in advance?

Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

I am not sure what you mean, you have to have those links in your Scripts folder.

1. Turn on proxomitron and set proxy in PVD for it (127.0.0.1  port 80)
2. Import Imdb Movie(episodelist) (a).psf to series title record
3. Import Imdb Movie(episodelist).psf to series title record.
4. Turn off proxy in PVD.
5. Import IMDB_[EN][HTTPS](series).psf script to series title record.
5a. Optionally apply IMDB_[EN][HTTPS]_(Connections).psf and then IMDB_[EN][HTTPS]_(Cast&Crew).psf in order to get the largest possible set of data from IMDb for the Series
6. Import IMDB_[EN][HTTPS](series).psf script to all episodes, just in case.
7. Import IMDB_[EN][HTTPS](episodes).psf to all episodes.
7a.  Optionally apply IMDB_[EN][HTTPS]_(Connections).psf and then IMDB_[EN][HTTPS]_(Cast&Crew).psf in order to get the largest possible set of data from IMDb for the episodes.

Also you can use these batch files in attachment that I use so to significantly reduce manual work. Extract and put them in "plugins" folder, restart PVD and then:

1. The same as 1. above.
2. Find in import plugins list and import the title IMDB(episodelist) (a)+(episodelist).batch
3. Same as 4. above.
4. Find in import plugins list and import the title  IMDB(series)+(episodes)+Connect+FullCast&Crew.batch to series title record.
5. Find in import plugins list and import the title  IMDB(series)+(episodes)+Connect+FullCast&Crew.batch to all episodes.


Open each .batch file with notepad and there you can find which scripts you need to download from "Script links" section

Others are also welcome to use my batch files as well as to share their batch files.

Best regards
