Full filmography of an actor... ?
« on: August 28, 2009, 02:21:06 pm »
Hi all, i just started to use PVD, and i must say it's the best program for this purpose. And i've changed many.

My problem is that i can't get actors full filmography, like on imdb. Only movie that i have in collection is listed... See the picture below.

Version of PVD is 0.9.9.11.

1. Go to Tools -> Preferences -> Plugins
2. Select the plugin you are using for persons
3. Make Filmography in list below "fully" checked

Hi

I had the same problem regarding the filmography in the person's database and what you said solved it.
But now all the movies from the actor's filmography sneak into my movie database as wel.

any ideas how to fix this

thanks in advance

Do you have "Show movies added from Filmography" option on? (Tools -> Preferences -> Movies) If yes, turn it off and do not click the entries in filmographies.

There is a list of fields with checkboxes at the bottom of the plugins list. You need to check the Filmography field in this list.
