I have a couple of scripts I call via context menu that look like this to give an example:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\AntRename 1 - simple\command]
@="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Ant Renamer\\renamer.exe -b c:\\directory_rename.arb -aF %1 -g -x"

Now, this opens briefly the GUI to execute the ...

Indeed that helped! The only correction is a slash quotation instead of double quotation so this I can confirm works as expected:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\AntRename]
@="Ant rename me~"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\AntRename\command]
@="C:\\Program ...

I have a renaming script that I call via context menu on my windows device. This for many years helped me renaming folders placed in a remote (samba) share.
After upgrading my system from windows 10 to windows 11, I noticed that the renaming over UNC path doesn't work any more.
If I copy over the ...

Analyze this:

Say I have a movie folder (movie legally owned of course) and I want to fetch from imdb the original title.
I go to IMDB I copy the original title in the clipboard.

I have my scripts that change characters, put dates in between square brackets etc, they are called via context menu ...

I have been using a script to generate .NFO for long time now.

Basically it saved the full IMDB url in the URL field.

I now moved from Plex to Emby (about time) and emby required the .nfo to contain something like this:

<imdbid>ttxxxxxxx</imdbid>

Considering I can get the full URL easily with ...

That worked beautifully.

Thanks!

I'm trying to use Ant Renamer to remove any character after the year in a folder name.
I'm a bit confused on what's Ant renamer is asking me to do.
I've tried

(.+(?:(?:19|20)[0-9]{2})).(.*)
match everything until the 4 digit year and match everything else afterwards

with new name:
S1

but I ...

Great, definitely give it a go tonight in my tests :-)

One more question please, the original script (as well as the modified version I posted) has problem with special characters.

e.g.

20,13 - Purgatório

is exported as:

20,13 Purgat├│rio


Is there any smart work-around to retain the ...

Ok I have made some progression in my personal setup.

This modified version of the script add the URL files at the end (as per NFO standard) and just saves the .nfo in the same folder where the media is located which works well for my needs.

Can I get some help on how I can also add the <id></id ...

Hi, I have a 2x questions about the XBMC .nfo Export script.

a) Why is it asking me the location where to save the .nfo once I run the script against the movies? I would expect this to be store in the very same location where the media is found

b) It seems like the <id> is not exported. Given I ...

Ok, I didn'd brake the database in parts but have followed the CSV export idea.
It was immediately clear is that there were 2 record extremely long. and specifically with very long comments imported via IMDB.

Try yourself:
http://imdb.com/title/tt0188653
http://imdb.com/title/tt3021360

It appears ...

Answering my own last point:

Using:

PopularTitleSearchURL = 'http://www.imdb.com/find?s=tt&ttype=ft&q=';

Will look for movies only.

The next evolution would be: do look for Movies first, if not found attempt "TV Movie", but I guess this would need substantial rewriting (may be not?)

Would it be possible to have the Import function scanning for .url files, and if found give the option to map the content into the URL: field?

That would be outstanding

Thanks

Can anybody give me a hint on how to import the content of the .url file and store this into the URL: filed of the movie record I'm processing?

I'm trying to work out a way to restore my database.

Thanks!

Thanks for that! i have actually worked out this version of mine:

if MovieYear = '' then
MovieYear := GetField(fieldYear);
MovieName := MovieName + ' ' + '(' + MovieYear + ')';
if GetOption('BatchMode') = 0 then
begin
if not Input('IMDB Import', 'Enter the title or the IMDB URL of the movie ...

I have too many record to check them out manually, also sometime operations are painfully slow.

Is there a way to sort by "record size"? I suspect the problem to be caused by the biggest or the smallest one

Very last resort I have a backup from last may but I brought up the topic as somebody else ...

I have created a blank database and imported about 100 movies. It goes very fast...

Given it's actually a database problem, how do I go repairing it?

Many thanks for the help!

In the pop up gui when prompted to specify the title.

e.g. let's say I have Avatar in the title I select IMDB, it will open a pop up with Avatar in it.

I was wondering if it's possible to have "Avatar 2009" filled in automatically when opening the pop up

I've been using AntMovieCatalog for sometime and very happy with it.
I have just happened to up buy a new computer and reinstalled the software on the new system.
For some reason the program is slow. Not all of it, just specifically after an import from Internet (e.g. IMDB script) it used to take ...

Two questions:

1) How do I go modifying the IMDB script to add the year (since it's available in the Year field) just after after the title?

e.g.

Avatar
=
Avatar 2009

2) Can the batch mode be modified to save and proceed automatically to the next record if 1 and only 1 result is found, but ...
