Moviewiz Image Lookup Priority.

[JP23]

Hi,
I'm using the following settings (below) to point moviewiz to a directory containing art for some of my films. All the filenames in that directory are exactly the same as the names of the corresponding video file (except extension). On the 'Manage Content' tab, Image lookup is set to 'config order'.

However, when entries are automatically loaded from batch file, moviewiz is using images from yahoo. I would like it to always use the local file if available, and not even look for it online if it is found locally. Is there another setting I need to configure here?

Are your locall images stored in the O:\Film Art directory?

I'm not able to verify the code at the moment, but will be back to my development machine around 8/8. Ping me again around then and I'll take a look. Probably an oversight on my part when running from a batch mode.

Yes, all the art is in that directory. When I do a manual lookup the selector box will come up with the local image highlighted, as if that is the preferred image, but it still spends time looking online.

Also it seems that it only ever finds yahoo images, never ones from IMDB, despite that being higher in the search order.

Hi,
I installed the latest versions of Moviewiz and WizTools last week, and I'm still having this problem. I seem to be getting thumbnails from IMDB rather than Yahoo now, but my local images are not being used at all.

Any ideas?

Extended trip for 1 week . Should be back Tue or so next week, I'll take a look then....

Can you run a test and include the log files? I'd like to see if you are getting any exceptions when trying to set and use your local images.

I'm now finding that when I manually go into MovieWiz Manager and locate and load new content my local images are being used without any problems.

However, when I load the same content from command line
(Moviewizmanager -Load:"O:\Film") these images are not being used.

Running from command line doesn't seem to be generating any logs. Is there an option I need to set for this somewhere?

[JP23]

It occurred to me that I could just copy the text from the command prompt window when I run MovieWizmanager from command line, hopefully this will be of some use to you. The 3 films loaded here all have corresponding jpg's in the specified folder. (O:\Filmart)

Code:

C:\Program Files\Devnz\GBPVR>c:\"Program Files"\Devnz\Gbpvr\Plugins\Moviewiz\Mov
iewizmanager -Load:"O:\Film"
MovieWizManager - 1.0.7.0

Validating command line parameters:
  -Load:O:\Film: Accepted.

Sorry, lost track of this post. I am travelling on business again for a week, I'll take a look at this when I get back next Thur.

Ok, I think I've made some improvements on the batch mode. I hope to have a release within the next few days...
