Hello,
I have around 500 movies in various formats on my harddisk. I have updated all the data correctly from the internet using the IMDB (complete) script.
Then I updated around 5000 actors data from the internet again using the IMDB (actors) script.
Now the Movie and Actors database are complete , I wanted to search for all the movies for a specific actor, which unfortunately is not working. I search for actor A and found only one movie in my database, whereas there are around 3 movies.
Upon investigation I found that the reason is in a number of Movie Records in the movies database, the complete list of actors is not imported. Secondly the Actor ID coloumn is blank in the Movie Database for a number of movies.
Since the Actor search function looks for the Actor ID(Numerical) in all Movie Records, it can only find the actor where the Actor ID is filled.
Is there a way now to fill the Actor IDs in the movie database records where they are missing.
Or maybe is there a way to search for Actors by their 'Names (Text)' instead of 'Actor ID (Numerical)'.
Please add the following to the latest final version 7.0.x.x
1.A feature in the new version 7.0.x.x to separately look and update the Actors Database.
2.Media type icons for AVC, MPEG-1V, MPEG-2V, M2T, TS, VOB since they are read as movies without any related media type icons.
3. Please add the 'Locate Missing Files' feature as it was in ver 6.xx which is very necessary for collection maintenance in case a movie is deleted from the actual harddisk and not updated in the XMM database. VERY MUCH NEEDED.
4. Please add the panel 'Main Info' just below the movie cover panel as in ver 6.xx so we can easily select various checkboxes (Status, Wanted, Category) instead of opening the whole movie quick edit info.
Thanks for support. |
