Hi guys,

There's something still really wonky with the Amazon poster thing.  I have been constantly getting the No Movies Found error, though sometimes it works if I restart PVD.  I found this thread and set Amazon.com (not .co.uk) as my default for posters, and it works better, but it's still behaving strangely.  Please note, I'm still working my way into PVD so the problem could be on my side, as you will see:

When adding a new movie master, I get a list of possible posters.  I select one, wait a while, and then I get another list.  I cancel this list as the first selection was fine, but the poster then selected seems to be a default (first in one of the lists, I guess).  If I then try to change it, the same thing happens - two lists, and I can't select a poster from the first list.

I suspect this has something to do with when I select the film[year] in the initial search list.  The check box can be either solid or a check.  I think this means there is more than one match for the listing, and when I select it, all are downloaded.  I'm trying to learn how to get the right one, but not there yet.  The problem is - how do I select the correct poster after I have unfortunately entered more than one film in my DB?  I can only see that I have to delete it and start again.

Finally, is there any chance that the other Amazon plug-ins will be repaired one day?  The Amazon.com posters are not usually the same as the UK, FR or DE ones.

Thanks for your help and keep up the good work!

Hello,

I am new here and getting the hang of the software, and I will read the manual very soon, promise!

But one question that I could not find using the search.  The other day I used PVD on my laptop connected to an external monitor.  Today I started PVD with the monitor disconnected from the laptop (not just turned off).  But PVD did not show up on the laptop screen, and when I turned on the monitor, there it was!

The reason I emphasis that the monitor was disconnected is that if it the HDMI cable remains plugged in to the laptop but the monitor is off, applications that were displayed on the monitor remain there.  But when I disconnect the HDMI, everything returns to the primary display (laptop), even desktop icons.  PVD is the only exception to this rule that I have found.

Any ideas about this?  Is it a bug on PVD's part?  I'm a bit surprised by this, I thought Windows would manage the display properly.

Thanks.
