Re: DVDpedia: Cover source

I've noticed that the cover images from ImdB are getting worse (very low resolution or sometimes just the DVD box without an image!) so I started looking for posters almost from the beginning. The sites already listed are very good and are the ones I use too. I hope someday DVDpedia will offer cover...

film information source

I have been using Imdb as the only source for film information in DVDpedia. However, in looking over my collection, I find that there are many, many errors. Perhaps the worst is the "Genre" field. Alfred Hitchock, for example, made the film "The Man Who Knew Too Much" twice - onc...

imdb title search fails

I have tried to add two films and DVDPedia reports that Imdb can't find them. However, when I search on Imdb, I have no trouble finding them. I also tried another film just to see if there was an Imdb problem, but it worked without problem. The two films Imdb can't find are "Burn after Reading&...

Re: auto favourites list?

Yes, you understand what I mean. This is why I posted it here in this forum. I agree it would be difficult to do with Apple Remote, but if the feature existed, there are programs to make the Apple Remote do other things. I haven't tried using the CoverFlow view, but I will try it and see if it can w...

auto favourites list?

I'm not sure that the title is very clear, but the feature I am looking for may even be possible in the current version of DVDpedia, however, if so, I have no idea how to implement it. What I would like to do is look through the full-screen version of my library and from within the full-screen be ab...

search in DVDPedia

While the search as it is now works if you are looking for a specific film, I would like also a different kind of search. It would be nice if we could configure the search fields the way we can now configure other windows in the program. For example, I have about 500 DVDs and frequently the question...

DVDpedia for TV sets

Box sets of films and box sets of TV shows are quite different I think. The film set is just a repackaging of existing films, while the TV set perhaps does not contain programs that can stand alone. For this reason, I would hope that a future version of DVDpedia could make a difference between films...

Re: Credits list too long and unsorted

Thanks. Where do I find your email address? I think the problem is that since sqlite does not quit, it does not save the changes it made to the file. At least that is what the file shows (not saved).

Re: Credits list too long and unsorted - update

I have tried this on my Leopard machine (sqlite version 3.4.0) with the same results (.exit does not work). I have also changed the permissions on the file so that it is universally writeable. The exit command still does not work.

Re: Credits list too long and unsorted

Thanks for your helpful reply. Unfortunately, everything works until step 7 (type ".exit" and press enter). When I do this, the program does not exit. I have also tried ".quit" and that does not work either. It is sqlite version 3.1.3.

Credits list too long and unsorted

I happened to look at a credits list this morning and found that the list included many actors with (uncredited) after their name and the order seemed to be random. I deleted all the credits and downloaded them again from ImdB. This time, they are correct. I have many DVDs and do not wish to have to...

Pictures don't match film

I don't know how this happened, but all films from the middle of the letter "L" have the incorrect picture. The picture is off by one count. IOW, the picture is usually on the next film. The films up until that point seem to be correct. Is there any way to fix this? Thanks.
