[Approved] IMDB with AKA script (1 Viewer)

[Deda]

Here I will post new IMDB with AKA scripts if any changes or bugfix occur. You will see two scripts:

V 1.1.1 -> compatible from MP 1.1.1 to lower versions

&

V 1.2.x -> for MP versions 1.2.0 and above.

Use the version which corresponds to your MP version.

Fix for local title name (annoying new IMDB website feature). Negative side of this is that foreign movie titles will be presented in it's original language titles.

Will try to get English title for non-english movies (it will use TMDB API to get title).
If you don't want this, just open script in notepad and do search for:

bool tryEng = true;

and change it to:

bool tryEng = false;

thanks Deda,

I was wondering when 1.2.0 is out, do we use this or click the update from the config?

Don't want to miss out all your neat features by using the wrong one


Vff

 

[Deda]

Ofc goal is to use update from config, but I just need to resolve MP version compatibility issue (maybe to use MP version check in script to skip new features for old MP). Surely, will be ready when 1.2.0 became official.

Just wait a little, I'm doing little changes in script so it can be compatible with all versions of MP, also rating will be USA as default if user country rating isn't listed (little team discussion). User review is separated from plot in version 1.2.0 Beta (new button in Movie Info screen).

For q 1 and 2 it's not easy to answer you really need to do it by yourself (need some regex knowledge and little C# coding skill).

For q 5 there short summary is already inside script and the database:

// Plot short
regexPattern =
        @"<h5>Plot:</h5>[^>]+>\s+?(?<moviePlotShort>.+?)(?: \|)?\s+?<a|Users:.*?<p>(?<moviePlotShort>.+?)</p>";
string shortPlot = Regex.Match(strBody, regexPattern, RegexOptions.Singleline).Groups["moviePlotShort"].Value;
movieDetails.PlotOutline = HttpUtility.HtmlDecode(Utils.stripHTMLtags(shortPlot));

hi Deda ! i'm little confuse .... right now the code in skin file for summry is #plot (wich is the longer summry)

so what will be the code for short plot ?? i try #shortplot and #plotshort but non of them work ..

is thir a skin id's and lable list ,for my videos plugin ? i serch but canot find ...

 

[Deda]

Try #plotoutline.
Skin control id's for movie info screen is the following (from GUIVideoInfo.cs):

    [SkinControl(2)] protected GUIButtonControl btnPlay = null;
    [SkinControl(3)] protected GUIToggleButtonControl btnPlot = null;
    [SkinControl(4)] protected GUIToggleButtonControl btnCast = null;
    [SkinControl(5)] protected GUIButtonControl btnRefresh = null;
    [SkinControl(6)] protected GUIToggleButtonControl btnWatched = null;
    [SkinControl(7)] protected GUIToggleButtonControl btnReview = null; // Valid for v 1.2.0 and above
    [SkinControl(10)] protected GUISpinControl spinImages = null;
    [SkinControl(11)] protected GUISpinControl spinDisc = null;
    [SkinControl(20)] protected GUITextScrollUpControl tbPlotArea = null;
    [SkinControl(21)] protected GUIImage imgCoverArt = null;
    [SkinControl(22)] protected GUITextControl tbTextArea = null;
    [SkinControl(23)] protected GUITextScrollUpControl tbReviwArea = null;
    [SkinControl(30)] protected GUILabelControl lblImage = null;
    [SkinControl(100)] protected GUILabelControl lblDisc = null;

and all defined properties (from IMDBMovie.cs)::

     GUIPropertyManager.SetProperty("#director", Director);
      GUIPropertyManager.SetProperty("#genre", Genre);
      GUIPropertyManager.SetProperty("#cast", Cast);
      GUIPropertyManager.SetProperty("#dvdlabel", DVDLabel);
      GUIPropertyManager.SetProperty("#imdbnumber", IMDBNumber);
      GUIPropertyManager.SetProperty("#file", File);
      GUIPropertyManager.SetProperty("#plot", Plot);
      GUIPropertyManager.SetProperty("#plotoutline", PlotOutline);
      GUIPropertyManager.SetProperty("#userreview", UserReview);  // Valid for v 1.2.0 and above
      GUIPropertyManager.SetProperty("#rating", Rating.ToString());
      GUIPropertyManager.SetProperty("#tagline", TagLine);
      GUIPropertyManager.SetProperty("#votes", Votes);
      GUIPropertyManager.SetProperty("#credits", WritingCredits);
      GUIPropertyManager.SetProperty("#thumb", strThumb);
      GUIPropertyManager.SetProperty("#title", Title);
      GUIPropertyManager.SetProperty("#year", Year.ToString());
      GUIPropertyManager.SetProperty("#runtime", RunTime.ToString());
      GUIPropertyManager.SetProperty("#mpaarating", MPARating);
      string strValue = "no";
      if (Watched > 0)
      {
        strValue = "yes";
      }
      GUIPropertyManager.SetProperty("#iswatched", strValue);

But this should be discussed somewhere else because it's more skin related then script changes .

 

[pilehave]

I'm thinking...could we empty the #iswatched string for folders? It doesn't make much sense anyways
