uhmm.. well, maybe my question was not very clear, or automatic translators tell nonsense or you did get me wrong

Which script(s) do you use to export your mvc catalog to CSV and/or XML ? Please link to this script..
In which folder are movie pictures stored ? I guess it is always ..\Affiches\ , is it?

You probably used a script from mvc forum, but as this is french too, it's hard for me to understand and find it. I ask because it seems quite easy to change these scripts and add the pictures to mvc export - eventually even a direct export to AMC XML format is possible.

Maybe Antoine could help out with a short translation ?

"divxdvd" >> ce script que tu utilises, tu peux nous le donner ? Comme le dit "bad4u" c'est peut-être facile d'ajouter ce qui manque (enfin, je n'en suis pas si sûr )

thanks at you for your message:Bad4u and antp ! (Youpee !)
merci à bad4u pour son aide.. et grand merci pour la traduction de antp !!!
Non je ne peux pas vous donner ce script car il est integré au logiciel et n'a rien voir avec les scripts allocine, etc..
Mais c'etait une bonne piste, je vais voir si on peut le récuperer son script excel !!!
merci pour votre aide
bonne soiree

I probably will release a script tomorrow night that exports MVC database directly to AMC XML database file including cover pictures (if not tomorrow then friday).

divxdvd >> comment ça "intégré" ? Il était fourni avec le soft ? Sinon tu as bien dû l'ajouter d'une manière ou d'une autre, non ?
bad4u >> how do you do that ? You learned scripts for that program too ?

antp wrote:bad4u >> how do you do that ? You learned scripts for that program too ?

Sure

That program uses a Windev Hyperfile Database format with lots of indexed .fic files instead of a single file, so it was impossible to access movie information directly from the database. Inside the program I did not find any useful export functionality - you could export to Excel, Word and XML, but ONLY the list with movie titles, no details at all. Maybe I just didn't find it, but I still don't think so. By default there seems not to be a HTML export even.. (or is it missing on the "20 movies testversion" only?)

Visiting their forum, I had the feeling they don't really like to release or at least to document these things (what could be added through scripts) - and that's quite poor for a program that costs 29/38 Euro. But maybe I'm doing them wrong and I've overseen all this (as I said it's all french - and I don't trust Google translator)..

Here is a script for MyVideoSoft that exports the database to AMC's XML file format.

Simply copy the script into mvs scripts folder and run it once. Now you will have a file "AMC_export.xml" in your mvs folder. Copy this file and all your movie pictures together into your \Ant Movie Catalog\Catalog\ folder (or where you want it). Open the XML file on AMC. Enjoy.. if it works

MVS 2 AMC Export Script , Version 0.9 (new version available, see below)

Please let me know if it works for you or if something is missing (as I do not have a big database on mvs, I cannot test it in detail) !

well done, I hope it will solve the problem

thousand thanks !
i'm very bad in english ! Escuse me
your scipt is very good but when i open the "...xml" work with your script: He don't open ?
My work: created the folder in catalogs (AMC) and in the *.xml and the movies pictures. I "open" the fichier xml with AMC
*****(dans le dossier que j'ai cree, il y a un dossier avec toutes les affiches et le fichier xml créé. Est-ce bon ?) *****
The message is:
ERROR
Invalid XML Element: Unexpected character in properties declaration (found)

In my titles, i have a many caracters like:
&, 1...0, ", , , :, @, !, ?, ...

This problem is perhaps here !

Many thanks, your work is magnifical!
Thanks,
thanks,
thanks,
thanks,....

Excuse moi, triste francais, mais je parle anglais comme un cochon !!! snif !
Merci aussi à toi, antp, pour la traduction mais toutes mes excuses, je suis vraiment une "tole" en anglais !

Could you email me this amc XML file , so that I can do some tests ?
See private message for mail address, please.

Ou envoie le fichier XML plutôt à moi, ça sera plus facile comme je parle français et que tu as mon adresse
(= Or rather send to me the XML file, it will be easier as I speak French and you have my address)

oui il est completement integre au logiciel mvs !
J'ai recu ce message du webmaster de mvs:

Hélas, il n'y a pas de script pour l'export Excel, çà fait partie intégrante de MVS.

Je viens de lui envoyer mais veux-tu que je te l'envoie ?
I'm a man qui talk englist like a BIG cow !

It seems to be caused by " " (quotation marks) only, that are used on description fields and get mixed up with the XML structure.

I'll fix that and the import of (Néant) if there is nothing on the field.

Here is a new version 0.9.5 of MVS 2 AMC Export Script . I fixed the quotation marks import and the import of (Néant) if there are no names on actors, director, etc.

Please test again. If there is still a problem I will need the new XML file

i'll test it and i write the news !
thanks

always this problem !
The importation pass 1 seconde and ... ERROR ???

I hope I found all the problems now

MVS 2 AMC Export Script , version 0.9.8 (new version see below)

I fixed the quotation marks (") from description and comments import, but you had these special character even on translated titles and other fields - so the import still failed on last script version.

YES YES YES YES YES !!
That's the magical scipt !!
many thanks
je te rappelle plus tard, je pars faire dodo (i go to sleep) ! lol !
ciao and many congratulations !

Hint: If you want to assign a field to another field on AMC, you can use "Import from AMC" instead of just opening the XML database file.
