<value>Update</value>
</string>
[END-EDIT]
Here a new Plugin MyFilms V2.1.0 (new version to manage the item of your ANT database used as Title -Master and Secondary) http://wiki.mp-fr.com/doku.php?id=upload:autre_fichier
Purpose : Use an ANT Movie Catalog Database directly in MP.
Others plugins already exists for managing an ANT database in MP but they oblige to use another software like MPMovieInfo to load the database...:?
With that plugin, the only action that you have to do is to save your ANT database in XML format ('save as' in ANT software and choose the XML format).
Contents : The dll file (MesFilms.dll) to be copied in plugin\Windows directory
2 screens (MesFilms.xml and MesFilmsDetail.xml) for differents skins (Blue Two, Razor and Project X). You have to copy in the corresponding directory (for ex skin\Blue Two)
1 image to be copied in the skin\Blue Two\Media directory (ex for Blue Two skin)
Setup : In the setup you can manage your pluggin.
Ant Movie Catalog File (XML) : complete path for your ANT database (format xml)
Ant Picture Path (IMG) : directory path for Videos Pictures of your database
Ant Item for Storage File Info : If you manage the video's filename in your ANT database, you can launch the video directly with the plugin. Here, you have to give the item used for filename info in your database.
Ant Identification Item : If the plugin cann't find the file to launch, a dialog windows with that information ask you to mount the correct media. Here you can specify the info that enables you to identify that media
Ant Master Title ans Secondary Title : here, you can define the item of your ANT database that must be used as Master Title (OriginalTitle, TranslatedTitle or FormattedTitle). Eventually, you can choose any item of your databse as secondary Title, In that case that item will be displayed in place of secondary Title
Ant Supplementary View : They are 4 standards views in that plugin (access with the Change View button) :
- view by Films (all films are listed)
- view by Year (films are grouped by Year)
- view by Category (films are grouped by....)
- view by Country
Here you can add 2 supplentaries Views for your specific use. For example you can view your collection by Media Support or by borrower...
For each view you have to select an item of your ANT database and a label associated to it (for displaying choice)
If you don't indicate a label,it's the item's name which will be used.
Ant Filtered Enreg. : Here you can filter enregs from your database. All enregs with that criteria will never be displayed.
Detailed Supplementary Information : here you can specify 3 supplementaries items to be displayed on the detailed screen.
Use : I hope it's easy to use 8) . You can sort your list by name, Year, Rating and Date (usefull to know last videos added in your database...). Each sort can be in ASC or Desc mode.
You can select with some criteria, films to be displayed (access with the Change View button). You can select all films or a particular Year, Category, Country and specific datas (cf setup change view)
You can also search by Actors or Title (Search by Actors and Title buttons). Type some characters of Titles or Actors and all films that contains thoses characters will be displayed.
If you clic on a specific film of the list, a detailed screen will be displayed.
Here, you can launch the video read or return on the previous screen
That's all 8)
Good luck
