I used the Script Editor and found why I've been unable to get information such as UPC Code. The script finds the correct line with the UPC Code but it tries to get the exact value by looking in between the characters of : and " for the value. Neither of those values exist on that line. There are other variables that are looked for using : that are no longer used by DVDempire.
My question is, is this an issue I should resolve and submit or is there a more appropriate contact to handle this??
Thanks,
Norm |

Fastest way would be if you can do the changes and submit it to Ale.
Thanks in advance! |

Alessio,
I've emailed you the repaired versions of both DVDempire scripts. They worked correctly in the MagicScript Editor but I do have a few questions about the MagicScript Editor, Its syntax usage and data formatting requirement. I did read the manual on the wiki site but still have some questions I hope you can answer.
1) I noticed that the blocks of code do not execute in the same sequence as they are listed in the script, they jump around. Why is that? How does the engine know which blocks to execute first, second, etc...
2) When extracting data like Actors, how does XMM know your feeding multiple values into the same #TAKEACTOR# variable?? Also I noticed that some data has a character added to the end of the string (#STRING#=#03#=#03#§#00#). Should this be done on all data where there are multiple values being added??
3) I noticed that some string data that already contains multiple values plus HTML code such as <br/> gets changed in #SUBSTITUTETAGS# to #NEWLINE#. If you have a string like "Subtitles English, French, Spanish", would it be better to replace the "," with a #NEWLINE# before putting the string into #TAKESUBTITLE# ?
Thank You,
Norm |

1. The blocks are executed in a fixed order. This order is always the same. It's in easy words a comparison one by one if a block exists.
2. TAKEACTOR always adds the new value to the existing one. The § separates actor§character§webid.
3. No, the separator for these multiple values are | (pipe sign) or the , (comma). Think that this value is treated as string instead of memo.
I hope that will help you a little. |

Thanks for the quick reply. It took a couple days to fix the DVDempire scripts because they basically need to be rewritten. Almost all blocks failed to collect any data. I sent Ali the new scripts today (6/21). So look for the updated download I did remove the Writer block since that data no longer exists.
Since this is the script (website) I use to get the data I consider most important, I'll gladly keep this script updated.
Thanks,
Norm |
