Is there a way to insert empty records into an existing catalog?
(Obviousely I know I could create a catalog with a certain number of records, fill them with a script's extracted informations and then import it into my catalog.)
thanks.

You mean by script?
There is a "AddNewMovieToQueue" function from the documentation, I guess it does what you want (that was added by Mickaël back then).

That is just what I needed!
Edit:
executed in script:
simply:
AddNewMovieToQueue;
and it's OK!

My script is not quite perfect.
I write a script to insert movies but it writes 2 with the second empty.
Please, where is my mistake?

I don't see the issue: it fills a field in the current movie and then adds a new one

I didn't explain well what I want: I want to load a catalog with a certain number of records, filling the fields with values extracted from html pages, initially having an empty catalog

But you always have already at least one record (even if empty) when you start running the script
