My Films 5 - Testing (1 Viewer)

[Guzzi]

OK, looking at IMDB-Full I can see I can set Tagline to be added to the start of the Description field and Certification to the Certification field, so I'll just need to adapt the AMC IMDB script to put the Certification in the Certification field as well.

Is there a way to make IMDB-Full always put the English title in Original Title field and the foreign title in the Translated Title field? This might seem a bit strange but when looking at the list in AMC (or AMCU probably) it's a bit hard to know what a film is if it's Original Title contains the foreign title.

Can you give an example - a movie and the grabber script you used plus the results you got with original/translated title?
Yes, it should be possible to do that - probably with overwrite mapping - but sometimes difficult to test here due to IMDB returning different content depending on country on some pages ... but you could always define an additional title field and let that one map tothe title you want to owerwrite yourself too - e.g. a generic field.

I'm having trouble getting MyFilms to create the AMCU config file at the moment. On the Import tab I've set the AMCU Config File, Clicked recreate Default Settings, clicked Save (both several times) but when I click Create Desktop Icon it says "Config file not found".

You have to select a valid AMCU config file in the field "AMCU Config File" - the message states, that the one displayed/chosen cannot be found on disk.

One example is "I'm a Cyborg but That's OK" http://imdb.com/title/tt0497137 whose original title is "Ssaibogeujiman gwaenchanha". I think I used IMDB, not IMDB-Full when grabbing that with AMCU.

Regarding the AMCU config file, yes it doesn't exist yet but isn't MyFilms supposed to create it based on the MyFilms config? Otherwise what is the correct way for me to create it?

Confirmed - can you check, if titles on imdb mobile are ALWAYS the english ones -> http://m.imdb.com/
If yes, we could add that to the grabber script...

(Re)creating the default settings should create the file - after that creation of icon should work.
If not, please post config and logs and the steps to reproduce the issue you have...

Yep, the ones I tested certainly all come back with the english title at least I recall (haven't used it in a while) that IMDB+ has a setting to always put the English title first, so maybe you can get some ideas on how to do it from that.

(Re)creating the default settings isn't creating the file. There's no Myfilms.log either. I had a look at my Myfilms config (attached) and it doesn't even seem to contain any reference to the AMCU settings.

I have added the IMDB-movile page to get english titles in Generic Field 1 - preset to overwrite OriginalTitle - in the attached grabber scripts. To disable, just disable the mapping.

Excellent, thanks for that.

As I said, there's no logs to post. I've posted the config and the steps I took was to setup MyFilms, set an AMCU config path on the Import tab, saved, clicked recreate default settings, then clicked Create Desktop Icon, which gives the error. I repeated these last three steps several times to no avail.

See wiki: Support
There is more files I need to be able to look into the issue - at least the MyFilms.xml config file ...

 

[doveman]

OK, here's my MyFilms and MyFilmsAMCSettings xml files. In MyFilms config I've set the AMCU config file to Movies-Del-AMCU.xml (which doesn't appear to have been created yet).

EDIT: I'll try reinstalling MyFilms 2221 in case something's got borked!

Nope, that didn't help.

I'm having a problem with the picture for one particular film "Easy A". The picture that AMCU scrapes causes an Access Violation error when selecting that film in AMC. The picture scraped is 4.86MB, which is much bigger than most which are a few hundred KB, but a few others are almost as large, "Machete" being the next at 3.7MB and these don't cause AMC to produce any errors.

I note that AMCU scrapes the Certification as "Rated PG-13 for some sequences of intense action violence and frightening images" whereas AMC only scrapes "PG-13". Is it possible to make AMCU only scrape this shorter version as well as I prefer it like that?

Also, on the Database Fields tab, under Storage Field Handling it shows "Item for File Info Storage: Source" with a warning exclamation/tooltip that says "Make sure the media Source Field is not selected to be updated in database fields". I don't understand this, as it's certainly correctly inserted the Source data for the films I've scraped without unticking Source Field in the database fields and I'd imagine this needs to be checked for this to happen.

Also, I note AMCU has a Writer database field but it doesn't appear to write this to a custom field but instead to the Producer field. With the availability of custom fields, would it not be better to use one for this and preserve the Producer field for the Producer(s), which is how I have AMC set (which only offers the option of writing the Producer OR the Writer to the Producer field, although I'm sure the IMDB script could be modified to put the Writer in a custom field instead). Looking at AMCU's IMDB script, it would appear that the Writer should be written to the Writer field (it's not mapped to Producer) but there doesn't appear to be such a custom field in my XML when I open it in AMC.
