Bump. Anyone know how to handle this problem? AMCupdater can do that for you - if you just want to import the movies to AMC database, just disable all internet related fields (and even the media info related ones) and it will import all into AMC very fast. year/imdb in filename should be recognized...

I can do the german translation ;-)

Soulsnake.

THanks for all your efforts - we all appreciate it !

Hi soulsnake, I have started dealing with the new format in MyFilms/AMCUpdater - but still have some difficulties due to the fact I am using the MSdataset classes. No problem populating with AMCUpdater (using manual XML creation classes) - and loading in AMC4 also works fine, but I'd like to push a...

New version AMCU 4.1.0 will be released soon ;). If you have a bug report or other suggestion it is time to do it ;). You can seen new features for version 4.1.0 on first post (first page). Soulsnake. Hi soulsnake, I have started dealing with the new format in MyFilms/AMCUpdater - but still have so...

tnx for fixing.
Another question:
Can you please post the XSD you are currently using - I have some problems to adapt the dataset generator in C# to properly read the XML structure you create....
Thanks,
Guzzi

Hi soulsnake,
in extended field manager I can't add fields containing an underscore - like "IMDB_Id". This is obviously intended behaviour - but is it necessary?
If not, can you please allow underscore as valid char?
tnx, Guzzi

Hey Soulsnake,
thanks for your efforts - really looking forward to your results :-) !

Otherwise I think I'd vote for your first option, keeping an .amc file along primary XML file to store images. I think it is a good solution. So the new standard format could be .xml with 2 options : - like it was before (stored pictures are copied with XML catalog during save if wanted). - with an...

Hi Antoine! Sorry I forgot to check new comments on the forum :D Currently AMC uses the ".amc" as main format, putting all in memory in its own objects. The XML format was added later, and is just a kind of automatic import/export: it reads the XML to populate its own objects, and recreate...

Don't want to put pressure on you ;-)

Just to tell you, that there are quite some (AMC)users very exited about it in Mediaportal forum :-)

I am waiting Antoine opinion but for the moment I keep the last sample to add and test this modifications. The main job now is to add a good CustomField Manager that I have already started thinking ;). Soulsnake Great - so when you have something that have the XML load/save routines up and running ...

Thanks for your suggestions. I am waiting Antoine opinion. Regarding your suggestion about "generic" fields: I am not sure, how to map that to the dataset handling I use in MyFilms implementation - currently, this is handled mostly automatically and thus is very fast - however, I am not s...

Hi Guzzi, I think something like this should be more portable. What do you think ? I ask the same question to Antoine if you are here ;). PS: I added some comments in code. First to comment on "Person" and "Watched" - forget about those for now - I created them to bind a table f...

Hi soulsnake, just to make it clear: If you and Antoine prefer adding the fields to native AMC format, I am fine to change them from element type to attribute type. Advantage would be, that AMC could support them in the GUI too. So I leave that decision to you and Antoine. I would then change MyFilm...

In current MyFilms implementation, the "internal XML format" uses additional fields as elements (instead of attributes) - this way the XML file is still AMC compatible (but element data will of course be lost, when saving in AMC). Ok, do you have an XML database example with the new field...

I (and many user of AMC) would really very much appreciate, if we could - include the improvements into an "official version update" - add some more fields so AMC allows to read and write them in XML format and not looses them - this will allow much better integration in the mediacenter a...

Hi Soulsnake, Hi Antoine, sorry to post in english, my french is just too bad.
