Insert new records into catalog

[fulvio53s03]

Is there a way to insert empty records into an existing catalog?
(Obviousely I know I could create a catalog with a certain number of records, fill them with a script's extracted informations and then import it into my catalog.)
thanks.

You mean by script?
There is a "AddNewMovieToQueue" function from the documentation, I guess it does what you want (that was added by Mickaël back then).

[fulvio53s03]

That is just what I needed!

Edit:
executed in script:
simply:

AddNewMovieToQueue;

and it's OK!

My script is not quite perfect.
I write a script to insert movies but it writes 2 with the second empty.
Please, where is my mistake?

Code: Select all

I don't see the issue: it fills a field in the current movie and then adds a new one

[fulvio53s03]

I didn't explain well what I want: I want to load a catalog with a certain number of records, filling the fields with values ​​extracted from html pages, initially having an empty catalog

But you always have already at least one record (even if empty) when you start running the script
