Support / Re: Best way to distinguish TV (& series) and Films?
« on: December 16, 2013, 04:08:59 pm »
Hi Ivek,
I am sorry for the delay in answering, as I was away from my PC.
I tried your plugin, but idoes not work properly. It does not import any information from IMDB, except the basic. (Picture: Reign.jpg).Not even the episodes.
When I use the IMDB-only plugin, I get the full info of the series and the episodes. (Picture:Reign_1.jpg)
The Status you mentioned has to be filled in by hand in the "Custom Field: Status". (Picture: Custom_Fields.jpg).But also the "Rank 250" and "Aspect Ratio" are not imported.

I do not understand how to automate these fields...Can you help ?

Many thanks for your help,
Gear

OK. I've read many threads about it but which one is the easiest to mark a film as a "Film" and a TV film or TV series as TV?  ???

I would like to find an easy way so I can sort them with one click in the PVDB "sort by" list.

Any advice would be welcomed... :-\

Support / Amazon plugin stoped working
« on: October 23, 2013, 02:07:50 pm »
It's been a couple of days that my amazon.com and amazon.co.uk plugins stoped working and although sometimes covers are shown to chose, the selected cover is not imported and I get Socket Error #11001 "Host not Found".

Has amazon changed again their files ? Can anybody confirm pls ?

(Example: Tried to import from amazon.co.uk the BD cover of "Season of the Witch" (2010), with no success).

Support / Re: Bug of PVD or IMDB ??
« on: October 13, 2013, 10:06:58 am »
Thank you Ivek. As I have a different layout (see attachment), and comparing that to your picture which is correct, I tried to understand where the main difference was.

Result: The Prefix mentioned in the software "Die", is for the German article "Die"="The". But has the same orthography with the english verb to "Die". So the software according to my layout, thinks it is the German Article and puts the verb "Die" at the beginning of the sentence as a German Article !!!!

Changed to "Leave as they are" and problem was solved....

Thank you again for opening my eyes!!!

Support / Bug of PVD or IMDB ??
« on: October 13, 2013, 12:47:57 am »
I have noticed that whenever a movie or TV episode title, has the word "die" in it, when saved in PVD The word "die" comes first.

Examples: Live and Let Die (James Bond) becomes "Die....". See first enclosed attachment.

TV Series: Atlantis (2013). Episode 3. "The Boy must Die". Result when saved in 2nd attachment.

When you look at IMDB.com the wording is correct !!!!

Anybody has noticed that or am I alone it happens??? PVD 0.9.9.21 on Win XP Pro SP3.

It seems that IMDB was down when I tried to update the episode...

It still is, almost more than 24hrs for most people around the world.

Will try the new plugin asap and feedback.

Update 13 Oct. 2013: After 3 days, finally imdb.com is back. Checked and everything works fine with the latest imdb plugin.

Just updated IMDB plugin to the latest (today's) version 0.9.8.19 but cannot update TV Episodes...

Version 0.9.8.18 worked for me OK. Is there a way I can download the old one please?

Many thanks,

Hi All,

Apart from the above troubles with the People's 0.3.0.17 version, my Amazon plugins (.com and co.uk) stopped importing covers. The window opens, you can choose the cover and then... See below the picture! If there is a poster in IMDB though, it imports it.

What's happening? We were happy for some time and everything worked fine.

Support / Re: PVD 9.9.21 Export Fields -How to Do?
« on: May 09, 2013, 02:20:38 pm »
Thank you both for the quick answer.

I was trying to find out how to print a list of the lost titles in the damaged My Book3 HDD. The only field that distiguished them from the rest ones, was the "Media Label" field.

Checked the Nostra proposal but it was too difficult (for my level) to modify the CSV template...so I went with the "afrocuban" solution and printed out the filtered result.

Many thanks for the help!

Support / PVD 9.9.21 Export Fields -How to Do?
« on: May 08, 2013, 07:42:43 pm »
Hello All,

A couple of days ago, I "lost" my 6months old WD 1 TB "MyBook3" external Hard Drive, due to Factory failure (burned controler PCB). No recovery possible!!

I had about 100 films on it (out of a total of about 400 in my database). All of them are included in my PVD database under the field "Media Label: " where it is mentioned the "MyBook3" -the damaged one- (as I have "MyBook", "MyBook2", as well.

Haven't found a way to filter only those fields: ID, title, Year, Size (in MB) and Media Label, and Export them to CSV, to open them in Excel.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.....

Regards,

Thank you nostra for yr prompt reply.

Just to clarify that the window in my above mentioned case 1) remains greyed till the backup finishes. It has always worked that way from my first installation. The backup itself is correct in both cases 1) and ) though. (Have checked it on another PC to be sure).

Many thanks again for yr help.

Support / Backup indicator in v.0.9.9.21 ?
« on: March 27, 2013, 12:12:56 am »
Hi All,

While backing-up my PVD, I notice that every time it responds differently (with WinXP Pro).
1) Either the confirmation (to overwrite) Window remains greyed, or
2) The confirmation window disapears after clicking the OK button and nothing seems to happen (for some minutes). Then suddenly the screen is sort of refreshed and I can understand that the backup is complete.

Is this normal?

Could we have some indicator of the backup progress (i.e. a bar indicator)?

Thanks for any help.

Just an example: Episode import is enabled in the IMDB Plugin.

When I manually search I have no problem: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0430484/episodes

But nothing is found when i try to import. I also renamed the main title and every episode to the one found on IMDB, still nothing is found :(

I used the "New Movie Master" button (I always do to import new Films/Series) and wrote down the title (pict.0)
A second window opens with the Name, which you have to click on and proceed (pict.1)
Everything is imported, except (I don't know why) the dates of the individual episodes (pict.3) which you can easily fill by hand, Editing each episode. All the rest is there (pict.2).
Just make sure that you have checked (=Overwrite) with double click or "greyed" (=Keep the current data) with one click in the IMDB plugin specification.

Hope this helps.

George

They both share the same configuration file, so it is by design. You are the first one to complain about this, but if it really a problem I can easily separate them.

About a couple of months ago, I had no problem with turning On or Off the "Download Image" in the IMDB configuration. I had it checked permanently and it worked also with the Episodes. If there was no image on Imdb, it wouldn't download it but did not return "404" error. This behavior happened after the 0.9.8.5 updated plugins.

Am I doing something wrong? That is my question.

Thank you for your help.

Support / IMDB (Movies) vs IMDB (People) plugin
« on: March 12, 2013, 10:11:51 pm »
Hello all,

Just came across a peculiar problem (v.0.9.9.21 with latest above plugins, on Win XP): If you turn off "Images" on the first plugin (i.e. to update episodes which have no image, avoiding the "404 Error"), the second plugin (people) disables also the "Images", so when you download a person's information, you don't get his picture!! You have to go back, change the configuration and reload.

That means that before any action, I have to check first at Imdb's site -IF there are any Episodes' images- and change every time my plugins' "Configuration", which is a huge delay....

Also if "Images" is disabled, there is no poster download from Imdb for the Movie/Serie.

Is this a bug or "normal procedure" ? Can somebody do something on improving this procedure ?

Any advice is welcomed.
Thanks,
gear

I have fixed the problem with imdb plugin.
As for the movie selection list:
Selected (not check) or "greyed checked" means "download into the current movie record"
Fully checked means "add a movie record with this information"

I think I will remove this behavior as it is indeed really confusing.

I tried your "greyed checked" and it works properly but still cannot check the corresponding DVD cover on Amazon.com plugin. The PVD loads only the poster from Imdb.
Any further instructions ?
Many thanks,

In the past, the second window was to chose the cover. Even if I press "Skip" on the second window, a third opens and maybe it is the 3rd window which asks for the film's cover....

I will try that solution to see what happens and report.

Thank you for the hint!
