movies

This new movies plugin looks clean, simple, and I think it will be a great way for me to keep a database of all of the movies I own (not just on the computer, I'll create an empty .iso file for each movie I own) that I can browse through. I'll have to try this one out!

Thanks
I've actually added support for offline dvds that'll be in my next rollup. All you'll have to do is specify the filename as dvd, just it'll be up to you to make sure the right dvd is loaded in the drive if you want to play it.

Can you also add support for bin/cue? I noticed that you added .iso support and I was thinking that this should be fairly similar?

A few other requests for this new plugin - The import utility looks good for importing large amounts of files at once, but the data utility doesn't do much for mass-file updates. It would be nice if the data utility could a) assume the file name (minus the extension) is the title if the title field is empty for pulling from imdb, and 2) allow an option for a mass imdb check of all files in the database at first.

I'm going to say offhand it's a problem with the /movies subfolder in the skin directory. Check that your active skin has a /movies subfolder and then inside that should be 7 files:
help_picture.gif
no_image.jpg
normal.png
se.png
selected.png
task.png
skin.xml

If any of those are missing try and extract them manually from the .zip file and try again. The logs doesn't say specifically which file isn't being loaded so lets try there to start.

I've been considering something along those lines but haven't quite worked out the full logistics on it. It would mean assuming the filename is right but definitely look for something along these lines in the near future.

Well in theory I can have it mount .cue and .bin just like .iso. I don't have anything in that format at the moment to try it out though. I can make the change and post it up if you'd be willing to see if it works or not?

Thats not the problem.
the folder and files are there.
i can go in to the movies selection and browse around for a while..
but all of a sudden when using the upp, down, left or right key the error message of parameter is not valid appears.

after cleaning up te database and removing some entrys and re-adding them again, the error wount show up any more. Guess it was a problem with reading from the database, i had a lot of lines like imdb not found blabla.. in the database.

[mcfrojd]

added about 10 more movies, now i get the same error again when using up and down key and ending up on one of those new entrys.

When adding the movies i add them with DB Management and then i manually writes in a movies title in Info management, and press save. thats all i do, not using the imdb or amazon lookup buttons.
