Feature Suggestions / Cast and Character Name
« on: January 23, 2011, 03:25:26 am »
The XML export does not appear to export the cast properly.  The list contains a comma separated group of actors and actresses but not the character name.  IMDB contains the actual character associated with each cast member.

On a side note, what is <scenario>?  I don't even see these listed on the IMDB pages.

Feature Suggestions / Re: SQL Server Integration
« on: January 23, 2011, 03:22:31 am »
Firebird is NOT SQL Server.  Firebird is a standalone database that is open source, offer "some" of the features of many different database models.  It requires a custom ODBC driver to connect.  ODBC is outdated, slow, and this driver is not common with every day applications.  Firebird also does not support x64 Windows Servers.  I am asking for native MS SQL Server support.  For that matter the request could be for Oracle, MS SQL, and MySQL.  I am working right now on a little application which should allow a connection to a SQL Server, create the necessary database, and import the XML file and images exported from PVD.  I am nearing initial testing so I should be able to finish it within a couple days.

Feature Suggestions / SQL Server Integration

There needs to be a feature to connect to a SQL Server database, create a set of tables/views, and then all data created is automatically inserted directly into the database.  SQL Server 2008 can store images and XML data in their raw form so it should be easy to come up with a database structure.  Just be sure that the structure is properly normalized, scalable, and named properly.  Nothing worse that a poorly designed database.

Support / Application Crash
« on: December 26, 2009, 08:46:26 pm »
When the application opens the default database on load, if you try to open another instance of the application it freaks out and crashes.   The bug report also requires an email account configured on the pc.  I suggestion building in an internal email method to report bugs or remove that functionality and just tell them to go to the forum.  Many people use webmail now and those won't launch as a default email application from the OS.

Support / MPAA and Tagline Tags Showing HTML **BUG**
« on: December 26, 2009, 08:41:33 pm »
There was a website update recently to iMDb which is now making a div tag show up in the results for all movies.  The tag only appears in the MPAA and tagline fields.  This may be a coding error on the web designer side for forgetting an end div tag or it could just be a parsing error.  I just know it is annoying to have to delete this tag on every movie I add to my database.  The tag is below:

<div class="info-content">
