Personal Video Database

When downloaded it actually comes down as Imdb+Movie.psf not "Imdb Movie.psf"

According to:

Have you changed the name of scripts?
Original name of the script is: Imdb Movie.psf

Yes Thanks this is the problem.  When downloaded it actually comes down as Imdb+Movie.psf not "Imdb Movie.psf" as you stated so I simply deleted the '+' sign instead of replacing it with a space.

Thanks Ivek23

Now the IMDB rating and votes are updating with only one step.

The above is basically self explanatory.  I put ImdbMovie.psf in the Scripts folder. I put imdb+Imdb Movie.batch in the Plugins folder. I set IMDB [EN] for movie information as default because as your picture it shows IMDB + Imdb Movie Scr as a selectable item, but I don't get this at all to show in Preferences\Plugins screen.

but I don't get this at all to show in Preferences\Plugins screen.

I even tried downloading the zip file for 0.9.9.21 placed the above mentioned files as explained above, and copied over the IMDB.dll to update to v0.9.8.5, left all plugins and scripts as they were.  But still IMDB + Imdb Movie Scr... does not show up.
So how can I select it if its not there?

For IMDB [EN] I have selected IMDB Votes as the Custom field for votes.  Made changes to the Classic Movie and Classic Movie Tabs skins so IMDB Votes are displayed.  But for what ever reason, this IMDB + Imdb Movie Scr is not too be seen.

Is there an way with XP Pro I can edit the pvdconf.ini file found within the \%UserName%\Applications\Persoanal Video Dadabase folder even though IMDB + Imdb Movie Scr... is not showing up as an item to be selected?

Even in pvdconf.ini file you will not find imdb + Imdb Movie.batch.

It works, thx alot ivek23

Thank you Ivek23 for the script.
I reverted back to 0.9.9.21 and it works.

For anyone wondering how to use it, follow this:

1. Place the script in the script folder.
2. Download the IMDB Data for new movies normally with IMDB [EN] set as the Default Plugin for Getting Movie Information.
2. In Preferences change the Default Plugin for getting Movie Information to Imdb Movie Script.
3. Select all the movies you would like to update the IMDB ratings for then use the button on top '[EN] Get Movie Information from IMDB.com (Ctrl+Alt+I)'

But if your like me and have made changes to the Skin to insert the IMDB Votes as a custom selection then you will have to once again now change back to IMDB [EN] as the Default plugin for getting movie information and then rescan all these movies once again to put back in the IMDB Votes for the above will take them away. So this would mean having to scan the movies 3 times instead of just the 1 time.

I updated to 0.9.9.29 with your link above but still, the IMDB rating does not change when I rescan (Ctrl+Alt+I) for movies I already tried to get the IMDB rating for.  So is the problem suppose to be fixed? or Not?

Can you perhaps briefly explain what the difference are between v0.9.9.21 and 0.9.9.29?

PVD v0.9.9.21, IMDB [EN] plugin v0.9.8.5 not downloading or updating IMDB Rating anyone else have the same problem?

How it works AllRovi movie script given the changes that I do not know.

I was saving just the link to the tab, which is of course now useless. So I deleted the data and removed that section of the script. For those saving the detail, I'm not sure what it does, but probably nothing (i.e., I don't think it will effectively delete any existing data). So we may as well leave the script as is for a time, in case the data returns.

Someday they may return data, we will see, maybe we will in the future again experience what a surprise from the AllRovi.com.

Sorry, I'm not sure what your question is. I know you collect a lot of custom data, and therefore assume you know how to add a custom field to a skin. AFAIK, once you include a custom field in a skin, the special 'customsection' no longer works. It's purpose is to automatically display all custom fields in one section when none of them are explicitly included in the skin.

For example, can it like this:

Code: [Select]

              <row>
                <column>
                  <label width="100" halign="right" valign="top">
                    <caption>IMDbID:</caption>
                    <font>
                      <name>Arial Black</name>
                      <size>10</size>
                    </font>
                  </label>
                  <spacer width="-7" />
                  <custom field="IMDbID">
                    <color>$D7FDDD</color>
                    <font>
                      <size>11</size>
                      <color>$006600</color>
                      <bold />
                    </font>
                  </custom>
                  <spacer width="10" />
                </column>
              </row>

Does the API offer a way to select the default poster, or one classified by the same language as the user language?

Unfortunately all you get is a list of images grouped into posters and backdrops. Each image is available in 6 sizes and just has an id, width and height.
It is possible to search by language but most often there are more than 20 posters just in english (the plugin actually only downloads the english ones i think).
