- OMG, is there nothing else?
Okay. Would we then be at number 3?
QuoteRight now I can only think of one additional thing I'd like to see, which is the ability to have the run time downloaded into the Duration field, for those who don't use the program to scan actual media.
Okay, I'll add that option.
//Get Awards URL
//addwd by Ivek23 07/24/2011 hyperlink to 'Awards' page in custom 'Awards link' field
EndPos := Pos('"><span>awards</span>', HTML);
if EndPos > 0 then begin
curPos := PrevPos('href="/movies', HTML, EndPos);
TmpStr := BASE_URL + Copy(HTML, curPos + 6, EndPos - curPos - 6);
end;
//AddFieldValue(mfFeatures, '<link url="' + TmpStr + '">Awards</link>');
AddCustomFieldValueByName('Awards link', '<link url="' + TmpStr + '">Awards</link>');
The annex was also added in txt format Rovi Fields list

Thank you for the file, this has been very helpful.
I have recently started to update my database and the script is running perfect.Thank you very much to both of you, Ivek23 and rick.ca!
Year in Search Results is the one piece of code which part I am not able to add search result,I tried to say that I have not found the correct solution in previous versions to see the year in the search results dialog.
That's what I changed. The search results dialog should now include the year.It works.
I have revised the top post accordingly.
Nostra advises me there's a way to do this. He'll help us with that when he finds the time. Although it's not a critical issue, it will make the script much more efficient for databases that already have allmovie URL's. I also look forward to learning the technique involved.
Thanks a lot to both of you Ivek23 and Rick for your efforts, updating my movies right now with this.
I do this later to see how and what.
Would be generally the script or more for you.
The AllMovie site has been replaced by AllRovi. See AllRovi movie script.
No wonder I was having such a problem with the Poster messing up the Rating! I did try to move it to the end, but for some reason it then didn't work. Maybe you could give that a try.
QuoteI do not know if I have understood this...
No, that's not what I mean. Using your example, your 8 Mile record now has the AllRovi URL recorded: http://www.allrovi.com/movies/movie/8-mile-v261159. If you run the script again, the function GetDownloadURL will retrieve that from the record and use it to access the page directly—no search will be done. It's able to select that URL from the URL field—which may contain many URL's—because we've provided the BASE_URL: http://www.allrovi.com.
I don't understand the logic of the script, but there must be a way use this function like this:
- with BASE_URL = 'http://www.allrovi.com';
- if there is no result, again with BASE_URL = 'http://www.allmovie.com';
- if a URL is retrieved, then ParsePage;
- otherwise, do the search.
Just to be clear, the only thing different here is step 2. And I don't think the script has much to do with step 4—the main application downloads the page (whatever it is) and ParsePage handles it. For the same reason, I have difficulty seeing a point at which step 2 might be inserted. Unless this is straightforward, it's probably not worth the bother. But I think it would be very helpful generally if we understood how things like this work.
BTW, the Scripting Manual has some interesting tidbits hidden in it—like this one:
"If you download poster in a movie information script or a photo in a person information script then make sure URL to an image is passed after all other pages are retrieved!"—found at the end of the GetDownloadURL example.
I trying to test yours script but I think I get lost in with all these codes. I have downloaded the version 0.1.0.5 from Ivek's first post and a version from rick.ca (0.1.0.4). My question is if I have to add custom items to the database? I have added a characteristic memo field and that works. But I am not sure if I need more items to test the full possible range of your scripts.
AddCustomFieldValueByName(' ... );for others thisAddFieldValue(mf... ); custom fields do not need.
I just posted version 6, so I'll let you add this to version 7. If it improves the handling of ambiguous titles, that would be great. As I've been testing (generally updating movies already in my database), I've noticed it can make a bad selection from the search results. My old AllMovie+ script did that too, so I thought this might be something we have to live with. It would, of course, be much better if it asked if there were more than one movie in the search results.
Another thing I was wondering... For existing movies previously updated with Allmovies, would it be possible to get the saved Allmovie URL and convert it to a Rovi URL? If so, then a search and this sort of error could be avoided.
The problem is finding movies where there are at least two films with the same titles find a movie which was first written:
What I think is so beautiful example Along Came a Spider .
Your movie with this title, Looking for which was built in 2001, However, it is found as the first from year 1970. If, however, such as manually added the correct URL is okay
procedure ParseSearchResults(HTML : String);
var
curPos, EndPos : Integer;
Title, Year, URL : String;
begin
curPos := Pos('<div id="main" class="search-results movies">', HTML);
if curPos < 1 then
Exit;
LogMessage('Parsing search results...');
curPos := PosFrom('<a href="http://www.allrovi.com/movies/', HTML, curPos);
while curPos > 0 do begin
EndPos := PosFrom('" class="title">', HTML, curPos);
URL := Copy(HTML, curPos + 31, EndPos - curPos - 31);
URL := BASE_URL + URL;
curPos := PosFrom('" class="title">', HTML, curPos);
EndPos := PosFrom('</a>', HTML, curPos);
Title := Copy(HTML, curPos+16, EndPos - curPos-16);
EndPos := PosFrom('</dd>', HTML, curPos);
Year:= ''
AddSearchResult(Title, '', Year, URL, '');

end;
