Hello there...
I wrote a new script for the API3 of themoviedb.org.
The script supports the following features:
Languages (more are possible if needed):
- English
- German
- Italian
- French
Movie Search:
All movie titles in the search list are english! Nevertheless your import will be localized in your choosen language! If you want localized movie titles in the search list you have to edit the script (change language=en to language=de or language=it or language=fr in #WEBQUERY# string)! Maybe Alessio or I can upload localized script versions, but this would result in a total of 8 new scripts (4 for movie imports, 4 for actor imports). I didn't find a way to use other variables in the #WEBQUERY# string than #MOVIE#!
The script checks if there is a translated version of your searched movie on TMDb. If so it shows this in your search results or the script falls back to english import. In front of each search result you see what language will be imported. Furthermore you can see the movie release year.
Movie data:
- MovieID
- Movie title
- Original movie title
- Director/s
- Actors (name, character in movie)
- Actors extended data (picture [scaled or full size], birthday, deathday, biography, birthplace [town and country], filmography, webid)
- Genre/s (seperately in XMM8)
- TMDb rating
- Plot
- Tagline
- Runtime
- Production countries
- Movie release year
- Poster/s (scaled or full size)
- Backdrop/s / Fanart (full size only)
- Producer/s
- Writer/s
- Photographer/s
- Composer/s
- Production studio/s
- MPAA (localized, with US fallback)
- Official website
- Budget -> in Custom 1 or Budget in XMM8
- Revenue -> in Custom 2 or Revenue in XMM8
- Release Date -> in Custom 3
- IMDB-Link -> in Custom 8 or IMDB Link in XMM8
Options:
- Language (EN, DE, IT, FR)
- Poster (none, only first one, all)
- Postersize (scaled to width 500, full size)
- Backdrop (none, only first one, all)
- Detailed actors information (no, yes)
- Overwrite existing detailed actors information (no, yes) -> speed up import if actor already exists in database
- Actors picture (no, yes)
- Actors picture size (scaled to width 185, full size)
An actor only import script is available, too!
You can download the scripts here:
https://docs.google.com/folder/d/0Bx5mVBWjZDagNHdHRUJXVGxFelE/edit
Click on script, then choose File -> Download!
I also mailed them to Alessio for uploading to server.
If you find any bugs, you can write it down here. I will have a look after it... |

OK, I've upgraded the scripts to the following versions:
Movie XMM8 -> v2.2.3
Movie XMM7 -> v2.1.3
Actors XMM8 -> v2.1.0
Actors XMM7 -> v2.1.0
https://sourceforge.net/projects/xmm-scripts/files/TheMovieDB/
I've successfully tested all your examples and script settings.
Besides:
I don't know why the movie script is not importing all actors data but the actors script does (both scripts use the same instructions). I guess this is an issue with XMM8.
The script is downloading full size covers. Be aware of the HTML template you are using - I use one which only shows a small picture but the full size picture is available in database. |

When importing a movie with detailed actor's information not everything is grabbed. Only the actor's script stores all info
Yes, that's true but at the moment I can't fix it:
The actor script is nearly the same as the "normal" movie script. If I debug with XMM I can see that the information is grabbed but not added to database if you use the "normal" movie script.
Besides I found a small typo in the actor's script (one #GOTO# was not found).
Here is the new version:
v1.3.1 for XMM7:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/xmm-scripts/files/TheMovieDB/THEMOVIEDB.ORG%5BActors%5D%28API3%29_v1.3.1.txt/download

To the script.
- When importing a movie with detailed actor's information not everything is grabbed. Only the actor's script stores all info.
- Exist non-english actor's information? Haven't got any so far. So the language option would be useless.
Apart from that: Great work |

First of all thanks for the new scripts, rocman! I will try to find time today to test them again.
To your problems:
1. That's new to me but I can confirm after a quick test. I had thought that Ale only lists the content of the Scripts folder and don't compares the script names. "THEMOVIEDB.ORG(API3) for Rel 8.txt" is equal to "THEMOVIEDB.ORG(API3)_for_Rel_8.txt" but not to "THEMOVIEDB.ORG_(API3)_for_Rel_8.txt". So this must be a matter of reading the folder content like adding all script names before "_for_rel_8.txt" or " for rel 8.txt" to a listbox with unique entries. Ale has to check that although it would be better to add an identifier like "_test" or "_test_01".
2. That's clearly a bug. No doubt about it.
*EDIT*
To 1. Just recognized that the script list is taken from the LiveUpdateTemp/scripts. Please check it out, rocman. |

Thank you for your reports.
I will have a look after it...
##### UPDATE #####
v2.0.0 of "THEMOVIEDB.ORG(API3)_for_Rel_8"
v1.3.0 of "THEMOVIEDB.ORG[Actors](API3)_for_Rel_8"
is now online for XMM8 and
v1.7.0 of "THEMOVIEDB.ORG(API3)"
v1.3.0 of "THEMOVIEDB.ORG[Actors](API3)"
is now online for XMM7
You can download them on Sourceforge here:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/xmm-scripts/files/TheMovieDB/
Changes:
- Added "Error Handling" for empty database fields in TMDb, which could cause endless loops or no full import of data (unfortunately nearly all fields in TMDb are allowed to be zero)
- Fix for trailer import (small TMDb API change)
I tried with "Die purpurnen Fluesse" etc. and it works fine.
There are two small problems which I can't fix:
1. Sometimes the script is not recognized by XMM8 if there is already a version with spaces in filename present.
For example:
"THEMOVIEDB.ORG(API3) for Rel 8.txt" and
"THEMOVIEDB.ORG(API3)_for_Rel_8.txt"
If you copy both files to the script directory XMM8 only recognizes "THEMOVIEDB.ORG(API3) for Rel 8.txt". If you delete this one the other one with _ is recognized. I don't know why.
2. I can't figure out the problem that sometimes not all data is imported to database. If you "trace" with the MagicScriptEditor you could see that every line in the script is executed successfully but for example you don't see the actor pictures. If you go to the database photo directory you will see all downloaded images but they are not shown in XMM.
After deleting all entries in database and deleting the contents of _androiddevice, _cover, _download, _,mediacenterdir, _photos and _thumb directories, I can see data for actor birthdate, birthplace etc.  |

With advanced options set to 0,2,1,1,1,1,0,1,1 and importing all fields I get only the title, original title, (one?) director and one actor
after importing.
Where only the director has additional info and the actor is only the last one.
I checked that on "Die purpurnen Fluesse", "Die purpurnen Fluesse 2" and "Predator" (2010).
