IMDB lookup in Video Archive + Rating info

Jeff · 2007-01-03, 11:08 PM

Amazon has better images, but IMDB has better descriptions, which is why it is searched first. I'll also add the new search to IMDB. I think I didn't have it for some reason (too many false positives on other titles?), but I'll put it back in and see how things go.

Jeff, I have again done some more analysis and even with the last Amazon lookup the hit rate is just not good enough for movies in parts which ends with D1 or just 1.

Is there any way you would consider to implement logic to exclude anything after a "-" (hyphen) in the lookup string for example. If so I would name my files "Match Point - 1.avi" etc and the lookup will then send only Match Point to the search.

Let me know what you think?

If the file is named "Match Point D1.avi", the search already should be done as "Match Point". Is it not dosing this?

Also, I have added rating, cast, and director lookup into the next version.

Jeff

Hi again Jeff,

No, it seems that D1 is included in the search. See complete log for Match Point D1.avi below.

Great news about the new lookup info though Smile

Oh, and just to be clear with rating, I assume you refer to user rating (i.e., 7.5/10) or do you mean age rating (i.e., PG-13)?

Jeff · 2007-01-04, 05:25 PM

I meant the MPAA rating (e.g., PG-14). You are also right about removing the D1 stuff; that only applies when ripping the DVD in the first place. I'll update the code to handle this.

Jeff

agerdin · 2007-01-04, 05:43 PM

Excellent!!! Looking forward to your new release then.

I also hope you will consider grabbing the user rating (e.g., 7.5/10) and your plugin will totally have replaced MyVideos and more Wink

Also thanks for the quick replies and support you given me.

agerdin · 2007-01-08, 06:27 PM

Jeff, I have tried the latest patch and it seems like it has fixed the problem I had with D1, the problem still remains with D2. Any thoughts???

Right now it is only removing the D1. I'll update the code for both.
