Thanks for updating this.

Two things to note. On my Server, although the plugin manager requested that I let it restart Sage, which I did, the IMDB interface would not return results. I had to exit the gui, then stop the Sage service and restart it (incase someone else runs into this).

Second, when the IMDB Lookup menu is displayed and you scroll down the menu past "Quotes", a focus stays on "Quotes" while the focus also displays for the next menu items (IMDB Web Site, GVid Trainler etc).

Thanks again.

Nice PlugIn however I do have a feature request. When I was using SageMC I was able to access IMDB and was able to save the cover art. I couldn't figure out how to do this with your plugin.

I've always used the IMDB plugin because it was simple. Honestly, I didn't even know about BMT. Don't do all the extra work just for me, I'll take a look at BMT for this functionallity.

I've never downloaded cover art before, but I don't have a very large collection and it just didn't seem worth it for me to spend the time setting up BMT and learning how to use it. If there was a simple way to do it with this plug-in I'd probably use it.
I'll put in that function in the next version.
I still plan on putting it in the next version which won't be too far off.

Updated the version in the repository to 7.1.0
Provides saving of images and other metadata from IMDB.

Hi, I have updated to the new version and I am having a problem saving data.

For example, I have a Video Akira.divx. The search is fine and the data display is too, but when I select "Save" I get a screen which asks me whether I want to: -
Save metadata using Original Video Title ""
Save using IMDB Title "Akira"
Save Image only.

Note the empty quotes in the first option - that is what is displayed on the screen.

Whichever option I select I then get a screen which says IMDB read failed: null

This happens for all my videos, some of which already have metadata, some of which don't.

Where can I look, or what information can I provide, to find out what is going wrong?

Exactly the same behaviour here. Installed IMDB Search for the first time. Always the same "IMDB read failed: null" whenever I try to save the search.
I don't know how to help. I launch IMDB search starting from the folder view of the movies.

The latest version fixed the problem I was having with "IMDB read failed: null" whenever I try to save the search.

The latest version solved the problem for me at the beginning.
Then I tried sorting out a bit my plugins and I uninstalled both IMDB search and Metadata Tools.
When I reinstalled them again IMDBsearch stopped working again.
Maybe there is a conflict between the two plugins ?

I believe it might clash with another pluggin, maybe the Phoenix fanart.

I will do some testing without Phoenix fanart

Melekal

06-30-2010, 09:56 PM

I've got the most recent update and was able to save the images. However nothing I seem to do will make it use that image as the thumbnail for the file. It continues to use the wrong image that was picked up when the file was originally scanned. Am I missing something here or is there another step to make it use the image that IMDB search saved for me?

bunch92

07-01-2010, 01:41 AM

I removed the Phoenix fanart pluggin and now IMDB search works fine , so there is an incompatibility between the 2 pluggins.

I have the same behaviour as Melekal ( post above ) and would like to know the answer to his question too.

07-01-2010, 04:59 AM

John

bunch92

07-01-2010, 06:40 AM

You need to run "Scan Imported Media" for the downloaded images to get picked up.

That did the trick for the "My videos" folders.
But when you save an IMDB image for a recording located in " TV --> Recordings --> All recordings " , the screenshot showing is not the IMDB image dowloaded, but a picture of the beginning of the recording ( in my case most of the time it is a picture of an advert that has been recorded before the movie starts) .

Which Phoenix fanart plugin? Phoenix Fanart for SageTV 7 or Phoenix Fanart for Malore Menus?John

It was Phoenix Fanart for SageTV 7 but ignore that as this morning I got the "read null" issue again , and Phoenix Fanart for SageTV 7 is not installed anymore. I had to uninstall / reinstall IMDB for it to work properly again.

Melekal

07-01-2010, 10:39 PM

So I ran the option to "Scan Imported Media" with no success. However after uninstalling Phoenix Fanart for SageTV 7 the images showed up. I reinstalled the Phoenix Fanart plugin and they were gone again. Would be nice if they could work in tandem as Phoenix Fanart gets me about 80% of the thumbnails I am looking for at a good size while IMDB search allowed me to customize the few that came in wrong.

If that were the only thing I would just dump Phoenix Fanart and deal with manually downloading the images. But the images that are downloaded from IMDB are considerably smaller than the images that I get from Phoenix Fanart. Is there any way to make them the same size? Even switching the screen to have 4 rows and six columns made the images not take up all of the available space.

No, it has not saved anything.

This morning again the pluggin was broken, an uninstall / reinstall fixed it , so there is a process or something that breaks it somehow.

The broken parts are :
1) When clicking on save, Save metadata using Original Video Title has got a blank title.
2) "Read null" when trying to save any of the three options ( original title , imdb title , image only )
3) When the pluggin is uninstalled / reinstalled , all the text data is savable and displayable but the image is not displayed in the "My TV recording" section ( note that text data and image are correctly displayed for a movie in "My videos" section )

Could the issue be coming from some left over libraries that were installed as part of a different pluggin ( I am saying that because after uninstalling Phoenix fanart, several libraries were still present in my list of installed pluggins with the name Phoenix, that I had to remove manually )

I have the following pluggins installed :
UI mod:
Comskip Playback
Custom main menu
IMBD search

bunch92, SageTV 7 is still a beta. If you are wanting something changed in the way things work in the current beta, do a bug submission and request a change.

SageTV 6 used to display the downloaded images, but that is not one of the current selection of images that can get displayed. That may be an oversight, or intentional, but if you do a bug submission at least it will get looked at.

I haven't seen 'trivia' on any movie in a long time (displayed or saved, even pre V7), I just assumed it was not included anymore in the Sage plugin. Maybe I'm doing something wrong?

A few recent examples:

King of Hearts (1966)
In Cold Blood (1967)
Misery (1990)

If you are looking in the jar see if you can find out and fix in the quotes that crazy number that preceeds the quote. Nielm had that fixed at one time and broke it in one of the following builds. It use to say just "Quote" and now you get that number before the actual quote.

I take it back, I still can't get it to save the image.

Steps I've done on my test Sage Server:

Completely uninstalled Sage 7, rebooted, removed the entire SageTV folder under the program files.
Step 2 - Installed a brand new SageTV server, copied some tv show files (King of Queens) over to a local directory. Before I specified this as an import directory, I set the options "Files in the Import directories are IMPORTS" and installed the IMDB plugin. That's it, just those two settings from a vanilla install.
It is saving the IMDB information but just not the image. I do have a thumbnail that shows up, but it's the default type that are in the "GeneratedThumbnails" directory.

Here's the log in a zip file. I cannot get to save images, and it's driving me bonkers. Actually my kids are driving me bonkers.

The latest version of the IMDB Search plugin works well for me. My only complaint is about the image size that is saves from IMDB.

When I look at what appears to be the same image on IMDB.com, even the small version on the main page is larger and higher quality than what the plugin saves on my system.

As a thumbnail next in the title list it's acceptable, but when displayed on a large screen in the top right hand corner of the screen it's very poor.

Can anyone tell me if the image size can be set on my system somewhere? I can't find any settings for this under "Detailed Settings > Customize". Or is some other plugin that "IMDB Search" uses responsible for this image size issue?

It just seems wrong to go to the trouble of saving movies in high quality and watching on a large screen, and then displaying such low grade tiny images to represent them.

Other than this I really like this plugin, and it saves a lot of time customizing my saved movie details.

I have encounter problem with the latest revision of this plugin. I have a file "Empire of Wolves.mkv" and in folder view it shows with this same exact name (MBDiamond theme). If I use it to lookup the movie on IMDB, it leads me to http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0402158/. When I choose to save the the found entry and return to the folder view, the file displays with empty name (as in ""). The name of the file remains the same, just Sage displays it as "".

The name of the file remains the same, just Sage displays it as "".I've been able to reproduce that, I'll work on an update to fix it.

I have upgraded to the updated released yesterday, but the problem still persists. Was the update supposed to address this?

Probably the easiest way to reset the values of the particular file is to temporarily rename it or move it out of the import directories and do a "Scan Imported Media" then reinstate the file and do another "Scan Imported Media".

Or, you could go the path of one of plugin / webapps and edit the metadata (nielm's webserver, BMT, Plugin: Read, Write and Edit Metadata) and reinstate the Episode Name, which is the field that is displayed for imported videos.

I did remove the .properties file and Sage started displaying it normally using the file name. Then after updating the plugin I did again IMDB lookup and the same problem has reocurred.

I've corrected that and you should get the updated version that works. Sorry about that.

The wife and I love using this plugin, so thanks for maintaining it. Any chance the text can be reformatted so that bottoms of the letters (i.e. g, j, y) don't get chopped off under 'cast' and 'backstage'? In fact, it appears that all letters have a tiny bit chopped off the bottom. It seems that the real name (next to the # in the list) is raised, similar to a superscript, relative to the # and the character or role is lowered, very much like a subscript. While it's not a big deal, it is annoying, since you can't always tell what the person's name or role actually is.

If you need a screenshot, let me know. I'm using TVE, but I don't see any reason that would affect this plugin's screens.

It's not OCD (aka Monk), but I do--sadly--have an eye for it... pictures or molding not level, things not centered. The fact that I notice it even annoys me. Thankfully, I don't HAVE to fix everything, though.

I have a small request. I like to view my video library by Category. When I add a new video, it often gets put into "Unknown" category and then I'll go find it and perform an IMDB manual search on it. When I click Save on the IMDB info page, it saves and the UI switches back to the Unknown list of videos. The video I was editing is gone.. moved to whatever category IMDB set it to. My issue is I like to specify my own categories. So I have to go and find the video whereever it moved to and modify the category there. Ideally, when I hit "Save" on the IMDB info page, it would bring me back to the video detail page for that video again, rather than back one more page to the Category page. Then I could change metadata/categories right away. This actually was the functionality in SageMC.

Thanks for all the hard work on this great plugin.

Hi there,

first of all thanks for the great plugin, it works quite well and is fetching a lot of very useful information. I really enjoy browsing for background information on new TV shows. Good work!

There is only one thing that I would really appreciate in one of the new versions of the plugin.
Please give us the possibility to set the imdb webpage by a property. In that case it would be possible for me to switch the page from imdb.com to imdb.de which will give me the german tv series support. The query interface would be the same but i will get the translated series and episode names which would be such a cool feature!

Hope this is possible and could be really integrated into the plugin! Thanks in Advance and please continue with this nice project!

Best regards
Balu

With 7.1.9.1 the plug-in is not working for me. It returns the list of entries to select, but on selecting one of them, nothing happens, except the spinning arrow for a second. The log seems to point to a StackOverflowError (whatever that it).

Is this happening for only me? Am I missing something?

I turned on the plug-in's debug logging, retried, and have attached the section of the log that seems relevant. I was selecting "The Waterboy".

BTW - I have tried restarted Sage, and uninstalling and reinstalling the plug-in to no avail.

Not sure what I can suggest, other than what java version are you running? and what size is your java heap running at?

Thanks for the effort. I found that when I deleted the client properties file and let Sage rebuild it the problem disappeared.

BTW - Java version is 1.6.0_23. Heap size is 1038 MB.

Some of my imports have funny filenames and aren't found in IMDB unless a manual search is done. I find that when I do a manual search on a video and then try to save the information, it doesn't save.

After watching some old movies last night, the WAF was at a tremendously high level over the IMDB trivia display. I never would have thought anyone would be thrilled over a 1948 Doris Day movie and the old "True Grit" John Wayne movie.

The 'trivia' section showed several paragraphs, and even though it had links and other stuff it was still readable and complete. I later saw there was an update to the IMDB plugin, installed it, and now I'm back to a 'one line' trivia display.

Is there any way to go back to the older version of the plugin, or do you plan on changing this in the future? Perhaps a larger font, or a user selectable 'one line' or 'complete' trivia section.

Thanks in advance,
Larry

Got a question. For quite a while now (maybe forever?), the artwork on an actors entry on my HD300 is shown so I only see like a quarter of the image. It's like it was blown up 200% with a badly cropped smartphone camera shot. on my SageTV Client on the server however, the same entries look fine.

Any ideas? Are there separate caches for the clients and if so, how do I clear them? Could it be related to UI I'm using (though I'm using Diamond on both).What version of the plugin are you using? The latest version (7.2.1) certainly has larger actor images than previous versions.

I don't think it would be anything Diamond is doing, but you could try seeing what it looks like without Diamond, it might help narrow things down.

JohnI'm using 7.2.1.

Well, it works with Diamond just fine on the server client and is running the same versions of all the plugins as the HD300.

Hmmm, I guess I could try starting with a fresh properties file on the HD300 and see if that helps.

When I install your latest updates RW metadata and IMDB the plugin is disabled even when I re-enable it. I am running the default STV with hidden extras.

04-20-2011, 03:38 PM

What version of SageTV are you running? If you're running the 7.1.5 beta you can use the new Complementary Metadata Tool (CMT) plugin instead of those two, it's a merge of them both.

If you go All available plugins and the detailed info on these two plugins it will tell you why they're not enabled.

Try installing the new Phoenix Fanart for SageTV plugin and disable/uninstall the old Phoenix Fanart plugins if you have them and also disable/uninstall the RW Metadata and IMDB Search plugins.

There's a brief discussion here (http://forums.sagetv.com/forums/showthread.php?t=55275) but I will be getting threads going this weekend.

There is now a thread for the Complementary Metadata Tool (CMT) (http://forums.sagetv.com/forums/showthread.php?t=55301) which is a merging of this plugin and the RW Metadata (http://forums.sagetv.com/forums/showthread.php?t=49360) plugin.

I've also fixed the plugin manifest which was stopping the current version from being able to be enabled in SageTV 7.1.5. This is the last SageTV 7.1 version that will be supported with this plugin.

Going forward this plugin will still be available for SageTV 7.0 users, while the new CMT plugin will be the one to use for 7.1.5+
