Yes, it is - it acts the sasme, asw the grabber engine works later. Would you prefer to search non casesensitive? That might be confusing, if the grabber afterwards does not find it !?

When searching words and strings in the code of a web to create/edit a grabber, I think it's better case insensitive

Can you please add issue to tracker, will see if that can be changed. I personally also prefer that, as it makes the "workflow" easier ;-)

Hi Guys,

I just updated to the latest StreamedMP skin that supports myfilms 6. Then I installed myfilms 6. When I start Myfilms I get the message that I need to update myfilms skin to 1.0 from 0.0 that I have now. What am I missing?

Funny, it looks like it's random whether import will be successfull or not...
I deleted all files except those 5 above, plus 3 (randomly selected), and I got 3 errors.
Next time I got 4. Next time no errors...

But Eclipse is always a trailer.

It seems, the updated MyFilms 6 skin files didn't make it into the streamedMP release (I just installed and tested).
The skin files posted for testing are ok and compatible - the ones in the StreamedMP package not.
Please report to SMP team, so they can fix it for next release.

For sure Eclipse has the signature for trailer detection somewhere in the filename - e.g. "trl".
Re other random errors: Difficult to investigate, as it is not really reproducable. Once you find something that is, I am happy to debug.

The film "A knight's tale". The url of details is the right one, but for any reason, it don´t charge the code.

Thanks, I thought it was hard-coded. I cleared this field since I don't have any trailers.

No problem for now - but remember that, when you use MyFilms 6.1 - it does contain automatic trailer download - and then this setting is required to avoid those are detected as films - so it also works as "exclusion".

Gonna sound really thick here but does anyone have a step by step guide to setting this up?

Here's the 'quick' version

If you have a movie catalog already My Films is designed to let you use it.

1. Run the Setup Wizard - answer 3 questions
2. Point My Films to your existing catalog
3. You're ready to go

Ofc you may want to customize a bit more, like where you want to store covers, fanart, person images etc, what views you might want to add, etc. that's why the wiki is so huge - because you can setup My Films however you like - depending what types of media you have, how you want to store them, or 'group' them, if you have a network and prefer centralized data and configuration to deploy on clients, where you store local trailers etc. But you can always add those features as you learn more. You can just start with the default presets and they should work for you.

If you don't have a movie catalog already it's pretty much the same as above except in the Wizard you select new, empty database. Then the wizard will open the Import Tool (AMC Updater) at the end, to scan and import your films.

The 'problem' is that until you learn just how much flexibility My Films offers, you don't necessarily know how to decide which options/methods to use. That's why My Films provides a Sample Database for you to play around with - so you can learn the features and then decide how you want to set up everything for your own needs - multiple databases, multiple users, different configs/settings for different users or databases, etc.

Does that help?
