Support / New Update Plugin IMDB EN 0.9.8.10 - Bug in Actors import
« on: February 02, 2013, 11:26:22 am »
Thanks for the continued great work.
likely something minor - hope I posted this in the right place
I do have 1/2 of the import fields turned off but it takes a long time getting some info so I don't know if any other Fields are affected.

For Fields "Actors" it fills this field with the following repeatedly...

<head>
        <script type="text/javascript">var IMDbTimer={starttime: new Date().getTime(),pt:'java'};</script>

Support / Re: Box Sets, Movies Series, etc how to group?
« on: May 28, 2012, 10:28:32 am »
Could not find series as you have it listed (or anywhere)... But did Find 'Episodes' tab and that's doing the trick - to add - edit and get things sorted right

Thanks for your help rick.ca - I'm getting there

Support / Box Sets, Movies Series, etc how to group?
« on: May 27, 2012, 12:23:15 pm »
Ive noticed that when adding some of my box sets and it does an incomplete, partial or does weird renaming...

IE my Tremors added the the 4 movies as +Tremors - #1.1 ~#1.4
Mission Impossible as +Mission Impossible - 2. #1.2 and 2 more +mission impossibles -3. #1.3

I suspect its the Series feature kicking in... and making a mess of things

My question is can it be done manually - what is the correct way?
1) How to create a new movie +set
2) How to add a movie to and Existing +set
3) Names the Dir/Files so it does it automatically (set a rule?)

For box set of 2-3 I just add extra links to the files and pick a box set picture
But when you have 4+ movies in a series it looks and works better as a +set list - especially when the movies don't follow a set rule for naming

Just after a little guidance here please

Thanks rick.ca

I kinda understand where your coming from and how this will work very well for me.  But...
1) I have 0 understanding on how implement this
2) XML is new to me - but fumbling around and figuring it out slowly

Although I have basic programming and database knowledge I understand the theory but don't know how to start or implement
I have found a XML Editor and a current skin which will work (once I add the relevant information)

I just need help like a single example of what you saying would be great hot to add / define a custom field to use (with a boolean example would be great)

as about the only thing I can currently figure is how to move the comment in the xml skin and use that... ;(

Support / Re: Network - connect to server - 401 Error - (Updated)

Quote from your link "...Seriously, if another Firebird server access the same file (that is, IF you can get it to work), you will experience instant database corruption."

But for the rest of us typical home users - yes some have elaborate home networks but would only be using 1 Firebird Server to share a database or 2
A Typical Home LAN Network use may be...

A = Server DB read write (media PC always on in lounge running Firebird)
B = Client read write - Main PC used to import edit data
C = Client read write - 2nd PC occasional edit data
D = Client read only - kids PC
E = Remote internet access read only - friends or work access

In this instance it would be safe and work as intended

Having Multiple Seen buttons for more than 1 person
As PVD is a great tool not only for cataloging dvd's but for all media content

Ive seen say 1/2 the movies my wife has brought and she seen like 1/3 of the ones I got and not to mention the TV series and other junk we have collected over the years
Since we are sharing a database so its much easier to manage, once someone has clicked Seen that's it ... who has seen it? me, wife, kids? cat?

So having the option of multiple Seen buttons with Multiple color coding would be awesome.

As I Thought - yes your right
Also From Local PC:  192.168.1.66:C:\Dump\MOVIES.pvd - working as intended

Now to set this up on my friends computer...  ;)
Thanks everyone for your help - see it was simplistic after all...

So Basically from the Top in order to Run PVD from Multiple Computers on a typical LAN

1) Install PVD on all computers
2) Install Firebird on Master PC
3) Set UP Database on Master PC (must be a local drive - not on a network share or NAS)
4) On Master PC Open Port 3050 in your firewall to accept local traffic
5) Get your Path Information Correct (ie start run - cmd - ipconfig get your PC IP for Master PC) so you will use IPaddress:Location  ie(192.168.1.66:C:\Dump\MOVIES.pvd)
6) on all Computers Use the Connect to server and use the 5) correct Path ie(192.168.1.66:C:\Dump\MOVIES.pvd)

Goddert - No

Update: As noted by Buah in his post: http://www.videodb.info/forum_en/index.php/topic,1696.40.html he referred to port 3050 - I added an exception to windows 7 firewall to allow traffic

Note: 192.168.1.66:C:\Dump\MOVIES.pvd - Worked to open database
but: MARKS-PC:C:\Dump\MOVIES.pvd - Failed to open database

So 1/2 Solved can now open 1 version at a time from either PC
If the PVD is open on 1 PC then it locks the DB

Failed to open database Errorcode 664 .... database is probaly already open in another engine instance in another windows session ... blah blah

It this working as intended? is this a limitation? or is something still not right?
At least its kinda working

Ty for your quick Response

Originally crashing was occurring from the lan pc trying to get to the shared Movie.pvd file (now just 401 errors)

FireBirdDefaultInstance - Service is running - confirmed by task manager /services

Full details on the error 401
---
Fail to open database
ErrorCode: 401
Unable to establish a connection.
can't format message 13:98 -- message file c:\Program Files\firebird.msg not found
Error Code: 401
---
Just to confirm in doing the right amount of silly

2 computers  - PVD installed on both
1st Computer - Local PC Firebird installed and Database file
2nd computer - LAN trying to connect to database using - Connect to server - Option in PVD

Failing miserably

Have tried loading empty DB on Local PC, with the PVD program open / closed

Do I need to do something else ? ¿

Update - More farting around and just getting 401 errors - have moved Movies.pvd to other locations on local machine under fully shared r/w dir locations and still no joy

Possibly the Firebird client is not running correctly - no idea how to check this out

Maybe ill just have to sync the Database across the network from time to time - kinda totally defeats the purpose of the wife adding notes/rating etc...

also in the 401 error - ref to 13:98 a file in the firebird dir so i will reinstall it see what happens

It will some simple stupid thing i have overlooked
- its always the easy stuff that's so complex in simplicity
