Search the Internet

Post by masterchipo »

I lost all the information in the catalog and I don't know how to search on the internet.
For example, the most common searches, I use Filmaffinity Spain, IMDB, TMDB, and I don't remember which one else, but I had several configured in Spanish and now I can't do it.
It's been a long time now and I couldn't reconfigure that part.
If someone can answer me with screenshots, or examples with the symbols and everything, I would appreciate it very much and much more if it is in Spanish. Or just copy links and symbols.
Thank you very much

You said that you lost your archive: don't you have a .bak file of it?
maybe I don't understand your question but if simply you press F6 you will see a list of scripting you can use.

No no. Unfortunately you did not understand my problem and question.
Somehow, I lost all the catalog data.
I got everything back.
Unfortunately, in Tools/Preferences/General Display/Movie/Extra Information/Search On Internet.
In the boxes where they say the search engine sites, that is IMDB, Rotten Tomatoes, DVD Empire, YouTube Trailer, Allociné, DVDFR, BDFCI, Cinemotions, Film Affinity. The latter and IMDB being the ones that I always use to search the Internet and be careful not to confuse them with scripts in which yes, you inevitably have to press the F6 key to search, this is to search for movie information on the Internet.
That's why I put the screenshot that explains in Spanish what I mean.

In image 1, the fields were full before.
In image 2 the arrow marks where the internet sites such as IMDB, Filmaffity etc. should be, with all the symbols etc. To search for this or that movie or TV series
Thanks
It seems to me that despite my difficulties with the language, it is not that difficult to understand.
That's what I think.
That made the search much easier for me without using the scripts that I use to catalog the movies.



PS
Maybe this is what I'm looking for in this image but I don't know how to configure it so that it looks the same as before.
I have tried every possible way and I can't do it.

Thanks again

In the first box it is the caption/title, so you can simply put "FilmAffinity" for example.
The second box is the address, with a %s where the title should come.
For for FilmAffinity you can put this:

Code: Select all

https://www.filmaffinity.com/us/search.php?stype=title&stext=%s
And for IMDb you can put this:

Code: Select all

https://www.imdb.com/find/?q=%s&s=tt
