I have made some changes to the Movies part of the core, these include:
NOW HAS EASY INSTALLER and Un-INSTALLER FOR EASY TESTING!
Requireement:
You need to be running MP v1.0 RC2
v1.
1. Provided a GUI for the user to choose which cover searches that want to use
2. Enhanced the accuracy of cover matching in the existing IMPAwards search
3. Added a movie-xml cover search
4. Added a local File cover match (takes the name of your movie file then searches for a .jpg)
5. Fixed a few bugs in the Movies configuration section
6. make the year matching less strick for (xxxx), also take (xxxx.i) or anything in bracket, so just (xxxx is important.
v2.
1. Added the extraction of the year from the file name and pass it to the csscripts for more accurate film matching.
\MovieName (nnnn).xxx - where nnnn = 4 digit year
v3.
1. All searches both inbuilt and csscript will now fall back and use YOUR chosen covers if they do not find an exact match (no more low quality Amazon covers of the wrong movie!)
2. All high res covers are now viewable within the MP GUI, so you can use your remote to select the best cover.
v4.
Anchored new controls in GUI to make it look pretty when re-sizing.
Enhanced the year matching in movie name so it matches on (xxxx to aid people with formats like (xxxx-i)
movie-xml.csscript - removed the cover search section as it is no longer required.
v5.
moviexml.cscript - removes escape chars if returned in error from the site (things like \' or \")
BUG fixed - if you tick do not search for actors or skip files in db; these settings are now saved
BUG UNKOWN - if a field as no data it is now left blank and is not populated with UNKNOWN
99.9% auto movie matching with moviexml (but will also enhance all grabbers) - the fuzzy logic used to make a best guess of the movie you want from list returned my the grabber now makes a much better guess.
IMDB search - the inbuilt one and the csscript version now have no cover search so they will use what ever you specify in the config app.
v6.
auto matching improved, when selected it will now ALWAYS make it's best guess.
If first item in list is an exact match it is chosen.
If 2 movies or more are equally matched the newest one ir returned.
Scene file names auto passed if in this format
this.is.the.name.of.the.move.1999.1080p.h.264.whatever.squigel.stuff.more.stuff.avi
requires all dots as seperators and a year in the string
v7.
Fixed a bug introduced in v6 that caused an exception when you type a new movie in the config app over <new> and hit lookup.
See change log for all the details.
Attached are the code changes and the new binaries, if you want to test just copy them over your existing MP RC2 install (you might want to make up those files first!)
The result is now a fast accurate cover search when you click the 'search for Images' button in the configuration utility on the Editor Coverart TAB.
Still to Do:
1. IMDB.cssearch. Refine to make use of the year field for better results matching.
2. Add a refresh button in the MP gui to re-scan and add any new files.
3. Update all csscripts to take year to look up movie.
4. Possibly get rid of old inbuilt searches where newer csscript is available.
5. When sorting movie list ignore "The" so they are not all grouped together.
6. Get movies folder to work, if the option is slected it will take the movie name from the folder and treat the content of the folder as the movie files and cover art.
7. User definable keyword filename removal. Like myTVseries, add a list of keywords the user can specify to remove from a file name when extracting the movie title.
8. Sort by newest added in the config app, should be able to do this by the generated primary key number i guess, not need to add a date field to the db.
9. support ofdb_xml.csscipt
10. save settings when a user removes a cd or dvd drive from the list of folder.
BUGS - not introduce by me, but I plan to fix them as part of this release! (just not had time yet)
1. Wrog rating is shown for each movie in MP, it always displays the rating for the first movie in you datavase for all movies.
2. moviemeter does not capture the rating properly
3. all fields are not overwritten from one graber to the next, ie, if you get ratings from grabber IMDB if you do a refresh with moviexml which has no rating the original reating is shown insteasd of a blank field.
BUGS - Existing that have been fixed
1. If you uncheck 'Automatically select the nearest match' then the list of internet database searches does not get loaded into the listview when the configuration app loads.
2. Local files where not returned in the search form within MP GUI
3. When a movie is not matched you get a pop up where you can type the name of the movie, but you coult not press Enter to continue you had to move the mouse and click find - this is now fixed.
4. csscript files when added to list are not removed from the drop down on next load of the config GUI.
5. actor details are not downloaded unless the automatically select movie checkbox is checked? (not tested this but it should be fixed as a by product of another fix)
BUGS - Introduced my me
1. Manually adding a new movie in the db through the config app - if you have select a cover search of local file or local dir it crashes. Need to trap null strings in that file search section.
v6. had some pretty involving logic changes so there may be some, please test with as many different file name combos and in different places in the app as possible.
