Problem with installation

[tigerray]

Sorry if this is posted in the wrong place. I searched and do not know the appropriate forum in which to post this.

I had this working in 2015. I had modified imdb.ifs and getscript.pas so that the program downloads all the movies based on the movies that are currently in one folder in batch mode.

It would select the movie based on the closest match but some of them were missing the year it was made so it was correct about 95% of the time. It would take about 45 minutes them.

I'm using Windows 10, the latest release of the Ant Movie Catalog source code and I have installed Borland Delphi 7.1. I am now having an installation problem.

I'm getting a compilation error and I believe it is related to the installation as I believe there is nothing wrong with the source code.

Any ideas?

I've been now almost a week with this problem. I had some earlier version working but the latest code does not work.

[antp]

Difficult to help without knowing/seeing what error you have.

Also, you mention changes made to the scripts, but you don't need to compile the program for that (that's the interest of using scripts).
The IMDb script has a "BatchMode" option that is somewhat you mention, retrieving movie info without interruption.

[tigerray]

The compilation error is [Error] functions_str.pas(571): Incompatible types: 'String' and 'TStream'.

Line 571 is DecodeToStream(AStream, AString); in

Code: Select all

procedure DecodeToStream(const AStream: TStream; const AString: string);
begin
  with TIdDecoderMIME.Create(nil) do
    try
      AStream.Seek(0, soFromBeginning);
      DecodeToStream(AStream, AString);
    finally
      Free;
    end;
end;

I put this in the first post but you must have accidentally deleted it.

[antp]

I didn't modify your first post
Or maybe if it was in multiple messages, one was accidentally deleted when filtering spam messages (99% of new posts on the forum are spam so sometimes I accidentally reject a non-spam message from a new user).

The error in there is maybe due to a wrong version of Indy components.

I see you only have

$(DELPHI)\Projects\AMC\amc\indy10\lib;

But on my install I have
...\Indy10\Lib\Core
...\Indy10\Lib\Protocols
...\Indy10\Lib\System
Did you get Indy10 from https://update.antp.be/comps/Indy10.rar or from elsewhere?

That function that it tries to call is from the class TIdDecoderMIME which is normally in ...\Indy10\Lib\Protocols\IdCoderMIME.pas

[tigerray]

It works now. Thanks.

[tigerray]

What do you click on to install Indy10?

Instructions say to compile and install in the following order:

For Delphi and C++ Builder, the run-time package files should be opened and compiled in the following order:

IndySystem (in Lib\System)
IndyCore (in Lib\Core)
IndyProtocols (in Lib\Protocols)
IndySuperCore (in Lib\SuperCore) (for Delphi 7 only)

For Delphi and C++ Builder, the design-time package files should be opened, compiled, and installed in the following order:

dclIndyCore (in Lib\Core)
dclIndyProtocols (in Lib\Protocols)
dclSuperCore (in Lib\SuperCore) (for Delphi 7 only)

I get errors compiling IndyProtocols70.dpk and IndySuperCore70.dpk.

Code: Select all

    FHost: string;
    FBookmark: string;
    FUserName: string;
    FPassword: string;
    FParams: string;
    FIPVersion: TIdIPVersion;
    //
    procedure SetURI(const Value: String);
    function GetURI: String;

[Error] IdURI.pas(93): Undeclared identifier: 'TIdIPVersion'
[Error] IdURI.pas(102): Undeclared identifier: 'IIdTextEncoding'
[Error] IdCharsets.pas(3889): Undeclared identifier: 'TextIsSame'
[Fatal Error] IdURI.pas(133): Could not compile used unit 'IdCharsets.pas'

[antp]

I don't remember what I did to install these components, as that was a while ago.
Maybe there are other things to build in addition of that?
For the missing things, check that the file in which they are are indeed accessible, e.g. TIdIPVersion is in System/IdGlobal.pas

Also, for design time package I tend to just click "Install" and not build them completely, I only build the runtime package and let it decide what is needed to build for design time.
Maybe try first a rebuild of all runtime packages otherwise?

[tigerray]

The problem I'm having is running a script (IMDB) is giving me the following error:

"Project MovieCatalog.exe raised exception class EldoSSLCouldNotLoadSSLLibrary with message 'Could not load SSL library.'. Process stopped. Use Step or Run to continue."

The error is in Indy10/lib/protocols/IdSSLOpenSSL.pas.

Can you take a look at the rest of the Tools-Environment Options-Library and bpl folder and see if you see any more discrepancies?

[antp]

Maybe the files libeay32.dll & ssleay32.dll are missing from the folder where the .exe is ("dev" subfolder of the project)

Do you have that error with the program downloaded from my site as well? Or just with the one you compile?

[tigerray]

That fixes the problem.

No, the error does not occur with the one downloaded from the site and those two files are only found in that folder (i.e., the Ant Movie Catalog that I install separately in the "C:\Program Files (x86)\Ant Movie Catalog" folder").

Maybe they should be included in the amc_sources.rar file as well.

Thanks for all the help.

[tigerray]

You said earlier something about batch mode. Can you automatically set the scripts to look at the names of the files in a folder and download the descriptions from IMDB based on those movie names?

[antp]

Maybe they should be included in the amc_sources.rar file as well.

Indeed, I'll do that for the next update
edit: or rather put a note in the folder, as the MediaInfo file also has to be added, and all these DLL are not so small

You said earlier something about batch mode. Can you automatically set the scripts to look at the names of the files in a folder and download the descriptions from IMDB based on those movie names?

Via File -> Import -> Media Files, you can create a catalog from a list of movie files. The once you have your catalog with one entry per movie, you can run the script in batch mode.

[tigerray]

Thanks.

[tigerray]

I am running File-Import-Media Files and I'm pressing "Scan folder". It works fine with the "C:\Program Files (x86)\Ant Movie Catalog" version. But with the compiled one I'm getting the error:

"Debugger Exception Notification"
"Project MovieCatalog.exe raised exception class EOSError with message 'System Error. Code: 126. The specified module could not be found'. Process Stopped. Use Step or Run to continue."

[antp]

It is probably missing MediaInfo.dll
Like for the OpenSSL DLLs, I added that one to the readme of the source for next updated

[tigerray]

Thanks.

[tigerray]

Where is the proper place to post questions about code?

I am looking for where in the code the jpeg pictures are displayed on the screen when in display mode.

[antp]

You can create a thread in the Help or in the Comments section.
For that one, I can reply here.
When you mention "display mode", you mean "display as grid" from the Display menu?
It is done by the component named ThumbsViewer, so if you search for references to that in main.pas you find probably all its handling functions, e.g. in ThumbsViewerCellPaint

[tigerray]

Thank you.
