Programmation questions

[bad4u]

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

Use some simple, free http server software to make the files available for http requests locally

Hello

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

Thanks in advance

To resolve problems like yours viewtopic.php?t=4171 I Installed and used wampserver.
It's free, easy and safe.

Hi all,

i am a newbie and i need your help

I would like to put the rating in the MediaLabel field using the IMDB script but currently there is no such option.There is only the option to put in in the Media Type field.
The reason the MediaType field is not convenient is that if i set the rating there then number of votes are not visible.

So i tried to modify the script a little (cause i am not lazy) and put the rating to be stored in MediaLabel instead of MediaType.
So i went at the section of imdb script where rating is set and found two instances of MediaType (lines 596 and 597) which i substituted with MediaLabel as shown below:

Code: Select all

if (GetOption('UserRatings') = 1) and (Value <> '') and (CanSetField(fieldMediaLabel)) then
        SetField(fieldMediaLabel, Value);

Although it seemed logical for a newbie like me it seems it is not working as i get the message:

script error IMDB.unknown identifier FIELDMEDIALABEL at line 596

I dont know how to fix this (if it can be fixed) as from what i understand has to do with the declaration of medialabel variable,right?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you for your time reading this,

Regards,
The_Observer.

P.S. The reason i tried this although i am a newbie is because i read somewhere in here that it is not so hard to alter a little the code.Well if this is true then i am too newbie i guess Pls help.

=============================================
Ok ,i found it.
There was not variable MediaLabel as i originally thought.
As i found from the help of the program the correct name of the variable for MediaLabel field is Media.
So in case someone else might need it the code should be :

Code: Select all

      if (GetOption('UserRatings') = 1) and (Value <> '') and (CanSetField(fieldMedia)) then
        SetField(fieldMedia, Value);

Probably piece of cake for someone experienced but breakthrough for me
As the song says , ...i am so excited ...

As i found from the help of the program the correct name of the variable for MediaLabel field is Media.

That's my fault But I can't change the name now. I could add a second identical variable MediaLabel, though.

Hi again.
Im trying to learn and play with amc scripting, already did a couple of custom scripts but using others scripts as examples of course.
Because I cant find any documetation about available functions for amc pascal scripts.
There is any?

Using the forum search is not very helpful. As examples (and questions):
- Searched for regexp support in amc and reading threads got that you said (5 years ago) that would be added in future versions. It was? cant find anything else.

- Tried to search about a way to get the image file size or dimensions after importing the image from internet. Some function for that?
Reading the img value tags of the page is not an option at all.
Dont know, there is something variable stored for the picture size that I can read back?

- Now im trying to extract the year digits from a webpage that could have randoms errors ( like (1996/s) (\1694) and so.
As regexp is not supported (?), there is some easy funcion available to identify digits in a string?
Yes I guess I can do some manual function like looking for the first number ("19" or "20") pos after the "(" and copying the next 4 characters to a new string and thats what I did for now, but what if (19/94) ?
removing specials characters also is not an option because as the first example, sometimes the errors include alpha chars between the parenthesis.

Thats all for now (only that? ) thanks for all this years of antp soft, man.

EDIT: ok right after posting this I found a hacky (very) way to solve the last question, about how to identify digits.
After trying to find a way to search/compare with a string array, this is the function I ended with:

Code: Select all

//------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// returns the string with the year digits only 
// clear_year := GetYear(string_with_year);
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------
function GetYear(str: string) :String;
var
	i: integer;
	res, pstr, po: string;
	digits: TStringList;

begin
  res := '';
  digits := TStringList.Create;
  digits.Text := '0' + #13#10 + '1' + #13#10 + '2' + #13#10 + '3'
  + #13#10 + '4' + #13#10 + '5' + #13#10 + '6' + #13#10 +
  '7' + #13#10 + '8' + #13#10 + '9' + #13#10;

  if (TextBetween(str, '(',')') <> '') then
    str := TextBetween(str, '(',')');

	for i := 1 to Length(str) do
	begin
	  po := IntToStr(i);
		pstr := Copy(str, i, 1);
		
		if (FindLine(pstr, digits, 0) <> -1 ) then
		  res := res + pstr;
  end;
  result := res;
end;

its named and made specially to get a clear year string from a dirty imput string that can be something like "<a><b>1866<a/>etc" and/or directly take the string inside parenthesis if found and extract the digits.
But of course I will modify and use it for other "getdigits" or "getalphas" needings .

For documentation of AMC scripting functions you should have a look on AMC help file / Script files creation and for innerfuse pascal script documentation you could download AMC source code from http://www.antp.be/software/moviecatalog/sources , there is a ifps documentation for the script engine version used in AMC included (I think it is in main sources in ifps folder if I remember correct, start index.html there).

For the more specific questions you will have to wait for antp's answer

Done, downloaded the source and did some read to that ifps documentation (more like a quick 30 seconds search) but now Im used to search for functions on the source itself.
Now I've installed Delphi 7 and sucefully set it for AMC compiling. So now im gonna start playing with that

[fulvio53s03]

Going on with my work on kultvideo.it i found some pages (related to erotic movies, i think) that cannot be accessed without a precise positive answer in a form posted in html page.
I think it's ncessary to use POSTPAGE2 to access but I don't know how to use it (as you know, I'm a genius in copying from other people works but I'm a donkey if I need to resolve programmation's questions).
Would you help me?
Thanks in advance.
(look for 'Emmanuelle' and choose the first movie in list to see what I'm saying and find //fulvio in Kultvideo's script below)

Code: Select all

I post my question here as I think someone else could be interested in learning how to use POSTPAGE2.

bye.

[antp]

have you checked one of the few scripts which use postpage2?

[fulvio53s03]

have you checked one of the few scripts which use postpage2?

yes, I did... (but I could't find examples to use):??:

[antp]

Why do you need postpage2 over postpage, actually?
and why postpage? The search seems to be done directly in the url (which means it works with getpage)

e.g. http://www.kultvideo.it/search/Search.aspx?st=stella

[fulvio53s03]

Not for every movie, I see
Take a look to
(http://www.kultvideo.it/search/Search.a ... dolescenza) and select the first movie shown (Adolescenza perversa).

I was thinking to use Postpage2 as I saw in those pages that the url to be opened was called using a form

Code: Select all

onclick="document.forms.fmAdultsOK.submit()

and forms can be treated by PostPage2 (or maybe even by Postpage) ?
Am I wrong?

Thnx.

[antp]

Indeed, but postpage should be enough
and that one is used by several scripts, it should help

[fulvio53s03]

Indeed, but postpage should be enough
and that one is used by several scripts, it should help

thnx, let's try. (postpage should be easier to use, isn'it?)

[antp]

yes, you just have to pass the parameters in urlencode function instead of putting them directly in the url
if you check other scripts using it, it should be easy

[fulvio53s03]

...if you check other scripts using it, it should be easy

Code: Select all

paramOK := '&adtst=1';     
    Page.Text := PostPage(Address, paramOK);

Yes. it was easy
let's go on!

[burn913]

So i'm a total newbie at this, but wanted to find out how to add a space between the producers in the DVDEmpire Script. As of now, the script lists producers names like: soandso,soandso,soandso, and I would like it to look like soandso, soandso, soandso. The producers portion of the DVDEmpire script looks like this:

// Producers
LineNr := FindLine('<b>Producers:</b>', Page, 0);
if LineNr > -1 then
begin
Line := Page.GetString(LineNr);
Line := TextBetween(Line, '<b>Producers:</b>', '<b>Directors:</b>');
Value := GetValues(Line, true);
SetField(fieldProducer, Value);
end;

Thanks for any help and patience!

[deadeye]

burn913, the part that you want to change is actually in the GetValues function of the script. All you have to do is add a space after the comma in this part:

Code: Select all

if (UseCommaDelimiter) then
    Delimiter := ','

change to

Code: Select all

if (UseCommaDelimiter) then
    Delimiter := ', '

This actually makes it look a little cleaner. I'll probably include it in my next update.

[burn913]

Thanks so much! Works like a charm!

Is there a way to choose between several covers like the list tree for movies?
