Hello

Is There a Way to Import a picture from local hard disk files ?

I've downloaded Covers for many movies and using Shift -F7 for
Each file is cumbersome. So i tried to write a script.

I've tried a file Url 'file:///Drive:\Path\ImageFileName.jpg'

it didn't work .


Thanks in advance

Sometimes sites display flash adds with/without a seconds countdown counter till the page transfers to the originally requested page.

Is there a way to bypass this in a script ?

Using sleep() is a possible way for sites with automatic page transfer ( when the countdown expires ) but some sites ...

Hi

Updated version (3.5.1) with mediainfo.dll ( 0.7.5.1) does not support flash video files (.flv) although the seperate mediainfo program ( MediaInfo 0.7.5.2) can detect flv files.

Any ideas ? ( I don't think the slight diff in version is the problem)


Thanks

As a temporary solution and if you are a registered IMDB user, you can
set the appearance layout to the old layout in the user preferences.

also the old layout is available at former.imdb.com
so all you need to change in the imdb script is the URL for the search.

Usually the files are either zip or rar files.

I think uncompressing it would be a nice addition but not a necessity.

BTW
i tried GetPage for a zip/rar file ,not working .It seems the files are
somehow truncated

Hi,

Lots of us use external subtitle file to watch a movie. Usually the subtitle file is downloaded from web-sites.

I would like to suggest a new feature of importing that external file from a web site , it would require a new function:
GetExternalFile(Address:String) ( similar to GetPicture ...

Check the variable "ImportLanguage" on top of script
is should be


ImportLanguage = True;

oops my mistakte

should be

'video"> '


instead of 'video"> "

Hi

Made some changes to the GetMoviePicture function as
follows:



procedure GetMoviePicture(Language: string; Page, AllTitles: TStringList);
var
Line, Value, Value2, Aka, PictureAddress: string;
AmazonPage: TStringList;
FoundOnAmazon, PickTreeSelected, PictureAvailable,AlternateRef: Boolean ...

Yes Site has changed a lot
I'll try to update the script

this is very strange
this function was added by me to the latest IMDB large picture script
( NOT the batch script)

open the script with an editor and search for that function:

function FindValue(...)

it its not there .. re-download the whole amc_scripts.zip file

I've improved the original script so you don't have to type
a URL .

Just select a series in case your episode title does NOT contain the series name or the script can't figure out the series.

Small Bug Relating to Previous post Corrected. (Script misinterpreted Quotes Links )

Refer to the Actors Section in AnalyzeMoviePage procedure.

At your request I've modified my previous script to extract all actors using the detailed IMDB page.

To do so you must change the
constant DetailedInfo at the begining of the script from FALSE to
TRUE.

found a few Bugs in my previous script.

1.
In AnalyzeMoviePage the line after looking for 'exec/obidos/ASIN'
should be



If not PickTreeSelected Then
TitleLine:= FindLine('/exec/obidos/ASIN/',AmazonPage, 0);
if (LineNr > TitleLine) Then LineNr:=-1 [b] ; [/b]




I forgot the ";" (that ...

1. For the movies I mentioned with "No LARGE Pictures" , The
GetPicture function did not return a picture so you get blank.
Since i can't verify the function success, i don't revert back to IMDB
Picture.
Some ( like "The silence of the hams ...

I've looked into the movies you cited .

"Pulp Fiction" - The Script DOES find a picture however it's the collection one .I'm Working on Improvement.

"Perfect Murder ,A" - There is no entry in AMAZON for the movie itself only for collections . If you leave ManulaPictureSelect ON you can choose a ...

I've made (yet) another improvements to the above script. Particularly in the area of assigning a LARGE picture to the movie.

1. Added a function to try to match movie titles between IMDB and AMAZON . It includes matching the case of the movie title,Replacing "xx: yy" with "xx - yy" , and ...

I've encountered this during IMDB script writing.
Before you call 'GetPicture' you use 'Stringreplace' to get the
Large picture instead of the thumbnail.

However there are cases that by doing so you get no result .
Several possiblities are :
1. The Large Picture realy does not exits.
2. It is ...
