Hello,

I use the latest version of Ant MC, which supposedly has updated scripts for importing movie details from imdb. However, at least for me, import movie with large pic doesn't work at all, while other imdb import sripts do work.

Can somebody explain that, please, and tell me how to solve the problem?

Regards,

Saulius

Actually this script is no more included with the program (I should make the installation setup delete it if exists)
It is no more possible to easily get the large picture :
on IMDB, if you click on the picture to get a larger one you never get the large picture, you get a gallery of scenes from the movie, or few posters in a very poor quality.

Allright, thanks for an explanation. Do you think it is possible to write a script that gets a large pic from somewhere else, while getting other info from IMDB?
Another question is about pic resizing - it used to be so (or at least I think so) that picture used to get resized according to the size of pic window. Now "fit the window" option is gone, which I found very useful. Any plans to get it back?

Thanks for your reply.

Bye,

Saulius

The option is still there... or at least it should be
it is in the "Movie information" category in the preferences window

For the large pictures, it should be possible to get them from another site. If you know a good site for that where there are images of lots of movies it may be interresting...

e.g. www.amazon.com has pretty nice collection of large pics. it would be really nice if it would be possible to get them from there.
btw you did REALLY nice job making ANT MC!!! keep on going m8

or www.cdcovers.cc

CDCovers.cc will not be possible I think : the server uses strange javascript and server-side protections.
It should be possible but it will be difficult and require changes in the program to be able to keep track of addresses (e.g. when you download a cover you have to send as referrer the address of the page where was the list of available covers, so the server thinks that you come from this page)
I may add it later, when there will be multiple picture support in the program
