    Hi.

    I would like to know if is there any (easy) way of editing the database. I want to change the "genres" cell, once the movie is added to the DB, in order to eliminate duplicated genres (action=accion=acción= etc...)

    Thanks.

    You can edit movie details in movingpictures configuration window, movie manager tab. Don't know any other way.

    You can edit the database direct with any SQLite tool, and then you can use SQL queries to do a mass update.

    The table you are after is `movie_info` and the column is `genres`. So you can do something like:

    • UPDATE `movie_info` SET genres = REPLACE(genres, '|Accion|', '|Action|');

    Which will mass-replace any Genre called 'Accion' with 'Action'.

    Hi. I was probably being a bit fast and loose with my terminology. I meant "somewhere within the files that MP2 uses in its database". Anyway, I found a way to do this which was far from automated but relatively low effort. I found what looked like all the images (CD covers, DVD covers, backgrounds etc all lumped together in...

    In the UK, the EPG transmitted in the DVB-T datastream allows each programme to have two genres -- a primary genre, and a secondary genre (i.e. a subgenre). The primary genre might be something like Film (or Movie in the USA). The secondary genre for Film might be something like: Action, Comedy, Crime, Fantasy, Romance, Science...

    4.5 is really old. I'm not sure 4.5.5 even is a version that actually existed. You should be able to install .NET Framework 4.8.0 on Windows 7 SP1

    Fixed, I think. Certainly the vintage MP2 installer that I was using no longer installs the LAV filters. I can only assume that these were never part of the install package itself, but rather downloaded during the install, and that link no longer exists. Shame that the installer doesn't indicate this. Last time when I installed the...
