Hi Deda,

Have you tested manually adding a plot to a movie with the latest Git master (using the new default wide skin)?

While I can manually add and save a plot for a movie within MP configuration, the change isn't reflected within MP.

For example, I've just added "Scooby-Doo Camp Scare" to my DB (my daughter loves Scooby ). The IMDB scrapper gets all the details except for certification and a plot. I manually replace the "NR" certification with "PG" and this is reflected within MP. However, when I typed my own plot (actually borrowed from a Google search and pasted in ), the change isn't reflected in MP.

If I then go back into MP configuration my edited plot is still there.

I'm starting to get paranoid about my system stability and will be doing a complete re-install over the weekend but the fact that my manual certification change is reflected in MP and my plot change isn't suggests that maybe there is something going on beyond my random system weirdness .

Would you mind taking a look if you a get a couple of free minutes? I've attached a couple of images to highlight the issue.

Thanks.

Mick.

You filled short plot (#plotoutline in skin) but real plot is empty (Plot summary in Tab "Review" -> #plot property in skin).

What I see here in config is little confusion (I will rename TextBox titles to something more descriptive )

Hi Deda

Not sure if this has been asked already, good old Roman numerals do not show up in correct order specifically "Star Trek IX Insurrection" as you might guess gets stuffed between "IV" and "V" so is 5th in list instead of 9th, is there anything that possibly be done to work around this, the same way as MovPics handles it correctly.

Cheers

Hi Ray,

Deda can probably come up with a better way in time but for now you could use his clever "sort title" feature.
For example, within MP Configuration>Videos>Video Database>Editor, add a "Sort Title" for each movie.
Star Trek 1
Star Trek 2
Star Trek 3
etc

Then in MP Configuration>Video Database> Settings, check the "Use "Sort title" for sorting in GUI title views" option.

Cheers,

Mick

This is best solution for now.
Messing with sorting and cleaning title for sort is not straight as in MoPi. My Videos is not primary movie catalog but hybrid of file explorer and database related view and most of the code is shared between them and something which is good for one part can do a catastrophe in 2nd.

Are yes. I see what you mean .

Should have worked that out for myself really but you're right, I guess the text labels could be a bit clearer.

Sorry to bother you. Must do my testing a little earlier (or at least before too much beer is consumed ).

As always, thanks for your help.

Cheers,

Mick.

Hi Deda,
on last SVN with new skin, User Fanart is not loaded from folder in sharedfolder

 

[Deda]

Actually it never did, only in case folder is DVD/BD or inside selected folder there is movie/movies in video database with scrapped fanart (MP choose random movie fanart).
I will add this and only what will work is (fanart.jpg, backdrop.jpg, path-fanart.jpg, path-backdrop.jpg)

 

[azzuro]

and filename-fanart.jpg when "Folder +1" PLEASE !!!! lol

For have Movie info on folder, skin must be addapted or only MP line-code ?

 

[azzuro]

Thank you Deda, Now user fanart load on Folder. only stacked files don't work !
BIG THX

Edit : filename-fanart.jpg no work, it's normal not modified, only fanart.jpg in folder anf path-fanart.jpg

Hi Deda, i tested " not uses Database" for Movie Info.
Only poster is not displayed.

For movie Info, why procedure can't be :
Video playlist -> F3 -> Movie Info | Read from NFO if exist / Import directly if no NFO| -> F3 (Import in database when NFO exist )
And in configuration : "not use database" For block Database for import And an other "Read NFO before Import" for users want the best of 2 worlds
This can Work for all users ? no ?

 

[Deda]

Procedure is following:

1. Option "Internal nfo scraper = Off"

• Internet based scrapers are used and movie is imported into vdb,
• My Videos fully works

2. Option "Internal nfo scraper = On, Do not use database = Off"

• Nfo file have priority on F3 key (import),
• If nfo file do not exist, Internet based scrapers are used and movie is imported into vdb and all behavior will be as 1,
• In case of existing nfo file, movie refresh in Movie info screen will be based on that file, actors refresh will use internal Internet scraper from IMDB
• My Videos fully works

3. Option "Internal nfo scraper = On, Do not use database = On" ->

• Only Nfo file is used,
• nothing is imported,
• only movie info screen works if nfo file exist and with reduced functionality (), no refresh, fanart, actors interactive list

I will fix the poster (just minor glitch).

I test tonight on My HTPC , with all files !
For complete information from you

Option 1 : i think all is OK

Option 2 :
- thumb Actors are not imported from Nfo url (need to update Actors) / or .Actors folder no needed now
- Maybe best procedure : NFO : 1st F3 load NFO -> 2nd F3 ( or Update) import NFO ( and update)
NO NFO : 1st F3 Scrape Movie directly

Option 3 :
- Poster are more rapid for display in small thumb "List view" (by resize) ! GOOD ( possibility in future to load small thumb from folder ? as OPTION2 );
- Fanart is loaded;
- Actors are read from NFo (only listed "Actor as roles" ) not possible to have same interface as database (thumbface: Actors - roles ) with thumbface default?
- Enhancement No Needed now : i don't know if thumbface can be scrapped from url (or folder, XBNE make .Actors folder with all thumbs for movie )
from NFO to TEMPfolder;

Option 2 - 3 (1?):
- Skin : "Menu" is unstable (not close) when switch to "PLOT" or "REVIEW" only "CAST" close "Menu" layer;
- Small Thumb read from Movie folder directly : increase rapidity
- AS EVER : Movie Info on sharedFolder ....

i try to have more feedback for you ( me and all ) for have a best "Myvideo" plugin.
thx for all, Big enhancement are added and bug corrected since MP1.2 !

For users WARNING ONLY FOR TEST : MP1.2.100.340 / Tvserveur1.2.100.340 / this link are killed in future ...
