Same here (e.g. "_Don't Be Afraid of the Dark.jpg"). This new version introduced bug that underscore is prefixed to saved pictures. I'm using "Use formatted movie title".

Update: it actually adds underscore even if "Keep original name" is selected.

how can i view the customfields in the internal HTML viewer?
i tried to modify a template, but i can't extract any info.

thanks in advanced for your answer

It is written in help file.

$$ITEM_CF_ + custom field TAG in upper case = Custom field value
$$LABEL_CF_ + custom field TAG in upper case = Label of custom field

You can also use export window (HTML) to format your html template for display.

Hi Soulsnake:

I started testing latest v4.10 Dec 20/2011 but I still have date issues! I tried to read all the posts about the date formats, but I could not find the answer to this specific issue. I apologize if I missed it!

In v3.5.1 in my XML DB, the dates in the 'Date added' field are all checked and work correctly. But as soon as I open the same XML db in v4.1.0 many of them are not checked (although many of them still are). I cannot figure out why some are still checked and others are not

The data is still there and appears correct in the DB XML file. But I cannot see where the checked flag is set.

As you know I am using AMC with MyFilms in MediaPortal. My Default sort view is by date added, so I really need it to work to be able to use AMC4.1.0.

Thanks for all your work on 4.1.0 It is really exciting and I can't wait until MyFilms supports all the custom fields!

EDIT: If I save the catalog in AMC format (not XML) in v3.5.1, then open it in v4.1.0 the dates are all correctly checked. Then if I save it in XML format in v4.1.0 the dates remain correct. So at least that is a good workaround.

I found the bug.
It will be corrected!

Thanks!

About date, it is checked only if date is not empty and is in a good format.
So, here the bug is a problem of conversion.

Thanks soulsnake, Merry Christmas and a happy 2012 to you, aswell all for all the others !

Question:

if i want 2 urls saved, and i add an extra field, do i need to edit the script so it uses the right field?

eg. I import all data from imdb, but i use moviemeter.nl as a second one to get description and picture, but i also want to store the moviemeter url.

Yes you have to change the script to use your custom field.
E.g. You can replace

Code: Select all

SetField(fieldUrl, Value)

by

Code: Select all

SetCustomField('YourCustomFieldTag', Value)

well, when i tried this, i always get an script error: (unknown identifier: MOVIEMETER at line 17)

i tried both:
SetCustomField(fieldMoviemeter, Address);
or
SetCustomField(Moviemeter, Address);

and

SetField(fieldURL, Address);
SetCustomField(fieldMoviemeter, value);

but i always get that same error

I named the custom field like thiIs:
TAG: Moviemeter
Name: Moviemeter

what am i doing wrong?

soulsnake · Post by **soulsnake** » 2011-12-27 13:19:24

what am i doing wrong?

The first parameter is a string. You forgot ''.
Try like this: SetCustomField('Moviemeter', Address);

When I do a BatchMode grab, sometimes I get a socket error or unable to connect error on certain films. Is there any way to auto-skip over these, because at the moment it just sits there waiting for me to click OK, meaning if I go away and come back I can find it's barely got anywhere.

There also doesn't seem to be any indication of which entry it's currently on and that would be useful to see how much more it's got to do. Also, it doesn't seem possible to cancel a BatchMode run as it just moves straight onto the next entry if I click the Cancel button.

Thank you very much, soulsnake, for all your work on making this already great application even greater.

It's very much appreciated.

The import function, for "Media files". Could you add the option to use folder as title? I always put each movie in its folder, along with cover/poster etc.

I will see that.
You can stop a script at any time, by clicking on stop button.

I will add too, don't worry.

The problem is that if the script executes fast, you do not always have the time to click that button between two windows displayed (e.g. picktreelist or message boxes)
I do not know what could be a good way to "solve" that.
