Personal Video Database

Here's the most comprehensive list of both original and custom fields through many active and obsolete scripts, I have managed to gather.


If you want me to add fields from any other script please do not post links to the script, upload script here, or I won't be able to add it to the list. That is how we will easier track which additional scripts are added.

Probably very interesting column is column D which shows if script field is active or inactive ("hidden") in the script, so you might want to change the script if you find some inactive field in active script for yourself, and you even didn't know it's there. Not every hidden field will import data when activated, be aware, so if you're not sure, better ask Ivek.

List of my custom films is in column H. Yours is different so change it carefully if you want to know which custom fields from scripts you don't have added to your PVD. For this filter either column B or G for "No Custom Field Added in PVD for This Field".


There are many formulas in the file in order to help automation of future adding, as well as for better visibility inside the file, so be careful with any customization especially because of array formulas and conditional formatting.


It would be nice someone to change exclusively in column B what types of PVD fields are those in column A, with "No Custom Field Added in PVD for This Field" in column B. Please do not change this in column G. I added column B intentionally for this change only.


If you have any question, I'll do my best to respond.

My goal would be to add people photos (thumbnails) for people listed in Movie skin's movie record, similar like on the website(s). Is that possible, anyone has an idea?

Any help appreciated.

The source code for the url address has been changed a bit, I already know that. It may only be necessary to make a small correction to make IMDB_[EN][HTTPS]_Search -b script and IMDB_[EN][HTTPS]_Search -a script work again. I will have to wait a few days to fix this, because the days are shorter now and I have other more important things to do. I think that around November 1st it will be fixed and new versions of the script will be added.

Thanks for help and fix bug.

Thanks afrocuban, I made a bugfix to the script released a few posts earlier.
Now only if the urls are from IMDb are used for data retrieval.

Happy Holidays!

Thank you, NetworkShark and Ivek! Best wishes!

Just to let know NetworkShark, that his fix now works if there is one non-imdb link in it. But, if there are more than one links there (in my case, that would be AllMovie and FilmAffinity links), then it crashes PVD again.

Ivek's -b search script doesn't offer right result when multiple choices are, while -a search script offers the right movie among others.

Example:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0058724/


So, generally it looks -a search script is the best to use in order not to miss the result for the movie we are looking for.

... PVD is revived once again due to Ivek's magical takes on AllMovie and IMDb scripts?   


I am following other catalogues and I can tell you that neither is updated as PVD. In general they all dies...

Thank you very much. However, I try to do my best to keep the updates up to date, considering that both myself and my mother have health problems, and as a result, there is less time for updating scripts, or it takes longer to edit the update and then I make tests regarding the correct functioning of this updated script.

At the same time, all the best to all PVD users in the new year 2024.

Well I have to give the opportunity to participate, but if it is as you say, then it will be just me and Ivek doing the scripts... 

I'd take that "just" as "just enough"!
