MOD version Update:
If you use MOD version and you wants update to the newer MOD versions by yourself (advanced users) you could do the following steps (let us know your problems to be able to improve the guide):
  • Important: Make a secure copy of your actual working PVD installation version
  • Unzip the downloaded file new version and change the folders: Scripts and Plugings of your actual working PVD.
  • The last MOD version has updated the dll files. You can copy and paste overwriting those files if you wants the dll actualization not really needed.
(Remember: For normal users, the author strongly recommends using the SyMenu free launcher to install and keep updated the portable Personal Video Database 1.0.2.7 MOD version)

Moving from original PVD version to MOD version.
Perhaps, there may be many PVD users who have a movie collection in a PVD original installation and don't want to start over. For them, we suggest the following steps.

"Slow Copy-Paste" own PVD installation/collection adaptation for normal 1.0.2.7 users (not work with 0.9.9.21):
  • Important: Make a secure copy for your own actual PDV installation.
  • Install the last PVD MOD version (with SyMenu or downloading)
  • Run your actual original PVD 1.0.2.7 copy
  • Run PVD MOD (with SyMenu or with 'portable.bat')
  • In your actual collection selects a packet of movies records (try first one by one movie for learning and after increase the number), and Copy with the option in the right mouse button
  • Pass to the PVD MOD and Paste with the option in the right mouse button
  • Wait more or less two minutes (it depends of PC), go with the next packet and so on just to finish.

"Dirty" own PVD installation/collection adaptation for advanced users:
  • Important: Make two copies a secure copy and a test copy of your own actual PDV installation.
  • Unzip the downloaded file version and change the folders: Scripts and Plugings of your test copy.
  • Run PVD in portable mode (portable.bat)
  • In Preferences/Movies/Custom Items add the fields:
    Set (Short Text), Updated (Short Text), TOP_250 (Number), IMDB_Votes (Number), TheMoviedb_Votes (Number), FilmAffinity_Votes (Number)

    (If you have some equivalent fields and you want to preserve your data, you can do it without data loose in Preferences/Movies/Custom Ítems, selecting the field, pushing the “Rename” button and writing the new standard MOD name)

    The last MOD version has updated the dll files. You can copy and paste this files if you wants the dll actualization not really needed.
Controling the retreived information in PVD MOD:
There are two way to control the saved of information in the PVD database.
a) The PVD standard with the 'Set Overwrite Options for the selected plugin' (the "Calendar" button, at right of the script 'Import name').
b) The custom fields and others options aren't included in this menu so the scripts have hardcode parameters to managed it.
Now in PVD MOD can be easily changed launching the first script '**** Scripts Configuration ****'. These are its powerful capabilities and how use it:
•) Launch the PVD MOD Configuration Script (you must have selected one movie or one person):



•) Then the PDV MOD Script Configuration windows opens:



1) Choose the script configuration sheet (Orange arrow)
2) You can activate or deactivate a script checking the Active box (Blue oval). The activate scripts are showed in PVD.
3) Check or un-check the desired option (Green oval). In the example you can avoid download all the IMDB information pages so the script will go faster. This is interesting when you are updating only some particular info, for instance the IMDBRating, than you don't need the actors.
4) There is other numeric parameters that you can change, for instance, the number of actors saved in PVD.
5) Finaly you must saved it (vertical Red arrow). PVD MOD restarts in the same position because it needs compile the scripts with the new parameters.

The author recomends you strongly use **** Scripts Configuration ****. You can gain a lot of time.

Usage:
  • Download and unzip the last version file included in the first post.
  • Run PVD in portable mode (portable.bat) with internet connection.
  • Selecting a movie or a person, launch the first Import script "**** Scripts Configuration ****" in order to adapt the scripts to your own needs (for instance, uncheck "Active" box for no used languages) Example
  • The rest operations are the same that PVD
Important advice: TheMovieDB is the recommended script, for speed and reliability. Take notice, that your are downloading full pages of internet with images, ad's, etc. For instance if you retrieved all IMDB info, your are downloading 1+5 pages for each movie.

Support / Personal Video Database 1.0.2.7 MOD
« on: June 16, 2018, 09:31:27 am »
The last oficial version has been the 1.0.2.7 published in the 05 November 2013 by Nostra, the oficial programer and owner of the program.
After this date, the information providers has changed his pages and, the more important, they have passed to a secure protocol HTTPS:  PVD is not prepared for this protocol and crashes with a “IO Handler Value is not Valid” error.

Ivek23, the person that have supported the forum and the scripts programs with a important personal effort, thank you very much, has surrounded this problem installing and configuring a proxy, Proxomitron, but this require some computer skills and PVD is no longer portable.

So, we have made a MOD version of PVD 1.0.2.7 with the next characteristics:
  • Portable (run with portable.bat) and not others installations needed
  • Clean of not working plugings and scripts providers.
  • Script over Plugin preference. This allow open source code of scripts.
  • Secondary, designed for basic use and in connection with KODI.
To surround the HTTPS problem, it has been necessary to make an intermediate download in the file of the pages. This makes HTTPS scripts slower than with the Proxomitron solution, you must choose which solution to use because they are not compatible (but the working scripts can be easily adapted for exchange).

Until Nostra awakens from his Odinsleep, we pray to God that it will be soon, this is our humble contribution to this superb program, the most flexible and powerful movie data base:

http://vvveasy.altervista.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/PVD_1.0.2.7_MOD-V20191020.zip

(The author strongly recommends using the SyMenu free launcher to install and keep updated the portable Personal Video Database 1.0.2.7 MOD version. It's easy and completely free without charges, advertisements, etc. (same philosophy as PVD) and perhaps you discover other advantages (for instance the Win10 users don't need use the infamous Windows Tiles))

Note: By Ivek23 request, below is included the adaptation of version 0.9.9.21.  It does not have the same guarantees as 1.0.2.7 especially because this version of PVD has a different scripting engine and the People part is less developed-DISCONTINUED:PVD_0.9.9.21_MOD-V20180922.zip

Temporal Acumulative Scripts Patch date: Not needed

Corrected:
1) Now all the IMDB images are downloaded by PVdBDownPage.exe so no more problems with HTTPS (but is slower because the need of file).
2) The poster and photo heigth are script paremeter in 1200.
3) The images for SearchList are downloaded in heigth 200.
4) The INTERNET_TEST_ITERATIONS   is now a script user parameter.
5) I belive that IMDB slow the download if detects several ask. I recomended use TheMovieDB first time in order to get the IMDB URL of movies and in people.

I do as I have said in the last post (see line 501 in the attached script) with a user parameter MAX_IMAGE_HEIGTH = 1200;
Tell me if this script works OK with Alexander Jamieson movie in your Win 7 installation (that uses curl).
If it works OK I will do the same in the IMDB People script and we can thought to apply in the SearchList.

By the way, I have notice that IMDB reduces the download speed if you do a lot of ask or if the page is not popular: Tehn the script ask to the user Retry. If you have a lot of this problems we can increase the INTERNET_TEST_ITERATIONS   = 5; before to ask the user.

Function DownloadImage(URL)  return 1 if it can get a file from the url and 0 if not exist this file.
With this funtionality the script can try severals resolutions from the no resized URL.
For instance: try  '._V1_UY2048_.jpg'
      if not exists try with '._V1_UY1800_.jpg'
      else with ' '._V1_UY1200_.jpg'
      else with original no resized URL.

In the end, the objetif is not download a big poster ... and 1200 points of heigth is a good size.

Corrected:
1) Description issues (Ivek23 code).
2) Small fixes in code sections for Runtime (Ivek23 code)
3) Added birthplace in IMDB People
4) IMDB images begin to redirect to HTTPS URL's so added a DownloadImage function in order to download Movie Poster and People Photo by the script and not by PVD Get funtion. Not applied (still?) to the SearchList posters/photos because we would need a lot of intermediate files (better use TheMovieDB script to identify the movie/person and their IMDB ID).

Ivek23:
Quote
The proposal for the highest uploaded resolution of the posters should be 1200*1500, which is the limit that then works fine for the good functioning of PVD.

I'm agree and I know that if the script add some numbers in the image url name it can ask for a dowload size, but I don't know very well if it is universal.
Have you some informations or code proposals in this line?

We are near to publish a "complete" beta versión. Some anwsers:
Quote
It is also suggested to add the Technical Specs and User Reviews and Custom Fields codes, since these two were also in the Imdb movie plugin.
In the last beta, I put the Movie Technical Specs in the ~features~ field in all scripts. It seems the "thought" of Nostra for this field.
Today the MOD version has 5 custom fields:
Set (Short Text), TOP_250 (Number), IMDB_Votes (Number), TheMoviedb_Votes (Number), FilmAffinity_Votes (Number)
I would like to use the most of the PVD fields and not have to increase more custom fields until the version was stable.
For instance IMDB_ID is easily got from URL movie: string between the "http://www.imdb.com/title/" and "/" (line 1132-Beta 1).
Quote
... users of the Russian section ...
Great! I suppose there are many Russian PVD users. The translated versions of the scripts are made with ecobyte-ReplaceText and a file translation file text. I'll include this files in the next versión for further languages.
BTW, I don't see too many returns from the users now so I hope that when we publish the first version the people will start using it and telling us their discovers (bugs) and their wishes.
Today, I have two main "concerns": people who leave PVD because it does not work and new people who enter in the PVD page and can not find an easy functional version to use.

The code for Gross USA can also be used. So I have a budget code for the budget, Gross USA and a box office.
Quote
The User Reviews code could also be added.
In the base versión, I don't want add a lot of customs fields. We can let to the users reclaim it.
Quote
Also added is the IMDB Id code.
This is more a PVD work than a download parse routine work. So I put in line 1132 with a optimiced code.

Quote
IMDB_People_[EN][HTTPS]
You can add altnames, birthplace, full bio and even awards, if possible. I use the most Imdb for peoples information, and occasionally also the TMDB (which is extremely rare) is also considered.
There is a lot of work in this point. The People explotation is not very used (even it not work very well in PVD) so I want first publish a PVD_MOD funtional versión with several working languages: (EN, ES, FR in TheMovieDB) and (ES, EN in FilmAffinity)

Plot Keywords (~ category ~ "keywords") has not been on Imdb web sites for a long time as an area Category (also in PVD for a long time, the Category field is empty), but this information is taken as Tags and the info is transferred to the PVD Tags normal field.
In PVD there are three similar fields, with comma separated list and list filter capabilities and is not easy to differentiate.
We can see with an example, for instance with “The GodFather":
~genre~   = Genre
    IMDB= Drama, Crime
    TheMovieDB= Drama, Crime
    FilmAffinity= Drama
~category~ or ~tags~ (Plot Keywords)
    IMDB= Mafia, crime family, patriarch, organized crime, rise to power
    TheMovieDB=  Italy, loss of loved one, love at first sight, Italian american, europe, patriarch, organized crime, mafia, lawyer, crime, crime family, rise to power, mob boss, 1940s, 1950s
    FilmAffinity= Mafia. Crime. 1940s. 1950s. Family Relationships. Cult Movie.
For me, Mafia, Crime, 1940s or Cult Movie are categories of films but is true that nowadays, in internet, we use more Tags than Category.
Well how Category appears before in PVD, just below of Genre, I take this field and left Tags for a user use like own age certification.

Now the IMDB and the FA pages are very big. curl download writing directly over the file so now "PVdBDownPage.exe" wait to have all the page to pass  to the script. In the precedent versions, with Win_7 OS is normal that you get a lot of strange problems. I have done several test and it works with my speed of line and computer.

When I removed the code for CAST, AWARDS and MPAA

Ivek23, If you run the first script  "**** Scripts Configuration ****" you are capable of change the script behavior of download or not the pages of AKA, CAST, AWARDS and MPAA. You don't need to remove the code.

With the Log file I see a hint of the problem: When the script try to get the downloaded movie page, PVD fails and recompliling the script. I think that this happens because the download of the page is not complete (may be for the line speed or for the weight of the page). I have some ideas to solve this. Stay tunned.

BTW, "TheMoveDB script works flawless" because it is a API script and only download the data text in a standart order. The others scripts download the "user" web page, with all the HTML code.

My version of IMDB_ [EN] [HTTPS] script, which was supposed to work, has added some additional information for Sound Mix, Color, Aspect Ratio, Gross USA and Language.
Let me think that. There are several solutions:
1) Expand the GET_LENGHT option to this other infos (for the users that don't want the info of the "fisical" own copy of the movie)
2) Create new customs fields: I don't like this for a basic MOD versión because is a very particular use.
Personaly, I prefer the first option. I'll do after the people scripts.

The programa detectes well your Windows "WIN_7" (the same as Ivek) but it seems that curl don't work well in yours computer.
In order to verify curl, can you run in Script folder with the cmd window (the MS-DOS window) the next command:

You should see that the page is downloaded and saved in the file "downpage.htm"
Other thing, can you post the path of the Script folder when you do the PVD MOD test? is in order to detect if there are any char (espace, language, etc) that provoque the error.

The Alfa 4 version:
http://vvveasy.altervista.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/PersonalVideoDB_MOD-V.Alfa_.4.zip

A lot of improvements and corrections. The basic movie scripts are finish. Before traslations I'm going adapt the people scripts.

Remember run with "portable.bat" (that is with the debug mode set in this test version).
If you have problems, please post the two files:
               PersonalVideoDB\log.txt   and   PersonalVideoDB\Scripts\PVdBDownPage.log

Now we are capable of change the script parameters, so I recomend see first the new Script "**** Scripts Configuration ****" (doesn't affect to database)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Important: This is a alfa version (even it not arrives beta level). Please is only for test, not mix your personal Database with this version. You may unzip in your desktop and run only in portable mode (portable.bat) without internet proxi.

Great work, Ivek23: I have applied your three code corrections.

IMDB_ [EN] [HTTPS] script as it is now, very rare cases that it works at all, most often a window appears asking for confirmation, restarting or turning off PVD
That is the "StackOverflow" error window: Normaly it arrives because the script try to get data out of a variable reserved memory. In my experience I have this errors in to cases: 1) A hard code error, for instance, try to read a array with a index out of the limit 2) the web provider database has a exception not managed by the script, for instance, the movie has no title and the scritpt work with it.
Normaly, the first case arrives always and is easy to detect. For the second case, in order to analyse the error, is very important to know the movie that crash the script. You can see the title in the PVD status bar.

It may be a mistake, but when you want to add something to IMDB_ [EN] [HTTPS] script, then it will appear a window with the request to confirm, restart or turn off the PVD. I've added a change with Notepad ++ as well as when I added the change with Notepad.
I think that this appears because those version runs in debug mode. You can go to Help and must be a Log option to see the script runs. I didn't appear to me but I always recompile the scripts in the Log window after a editor modification and before to run.
May be other source of this: the new script "**** Scripts Configuration ****" must re-write all the listed scripts when you save. So the editors detects the change of text (and if you re-read you lost the editor changes). Normaly , the user don't have the script open with an editor.
