My Films 5 - Testing (3 Viewers)

Hi Rickyman - yes 6.0 will support 1.3.0 Guzzi already answered you a couple of times it will be released when it's ready. We delayed a bit to support 1.3.0 which turned out to be a lot more work than expected. We all work in our free time, so please be patient.
While I appreciate your enthusiasm, I don't think asking the same question again and again is going to get you a different answer

Screen shots of Default wide showing "Watched & Count" not working properly.
Certification overlapping label.

Screen shots of Default wide showing "Watched & Count" not working properly.

That is due to unfinished default skins - will be fixed before beta (already in SVN).

Certification overlapping label.

Yep - as those are user items, we will have to provide more space, as there can be labels of different length.

So what is the longest label used for any field name/label in any string/translation for My Films? Skinners would need to know that if they plan to leave full space for labels. You really want to leave space for labels like 'Translated Title' > 'Filmname (Deutscher Titel)" in German?

Since you can edit the label in Setup - Display tab, I am not sure it is good design to use up so much space for a label and reduce the space for the value (which then ends up scrolling more often). Ofc labels could be set to scroll as well, but too much scrolling can drive you nuts!! I thought that was one of the main advantages of the Display items in My Films - you can fully customize them as you wish!

 

[Guzzi]

Yes, that's all right - but I think, that labels are too wide and thus too close to the value (in case they have a long label string) - that should imho be a bit tweaked in anc case.
The question, how much space for label vs. value is of course difficult - as there are fields requiring the one and others the other way round ;-)

 

[TLD]

I would say that there is a lot of space between the value and next column, and the space available could be divided more evenly. IMHO it should not be able to overlap in any case.

Hi Guzzi. I am using the latest version of AMCUpdater. I have 2 files that end with "CtrlHD" that both get detected as trailers, why is this and are there adjustable parameters for what gets detected as a trailer?

By the way, I am now using the nfo grabber (twice so far). I format my movies and write the nfo's using EMM. Seems to be working well! I will report back anything unusual

Hi bwg, yes, in AMCupdater on Options tab, there is "Accepted Trailer Identification Strings" - it is by default set to:

trl;trailer;clip

the "trl" is found in the file names you mentioned - so either remove that from AMCUpdater config - or rename the respective movie files.

By the way, I am now using the nfo grabber (twice so far). I format my movies and write the nfo's using EMM. Seems to be working well! I will report back anything unusual

Always welcome. Are you using latest SVN version - or last version from google code? There had been some changes to nfo grabber and grabber engine to allow grabbing multiple fanarts from EMM. If you're interested to join pre beta testing conversation, drop me a PM.

ahhh, missed that on the options screen, obvious really. Thanks. Using the latest version from google code, would like to grab latest updates, will pm you.
