Wish List

nickcharles23 opened this issue · comments

After installing the latest version of php4dvd and adding around 500 movies of my collection I have found the following issues. I would like to add to the wish list to make the program more usable.

1.Be able to do a search using the idmb movie id.
I have movies that have an imdb movie id but can't find the title during the search. Sometimes I can find it by adding the year at the end but only on occasion it will be found.

2. Be able to add movies manual with only the required fields title and year only. Including adding additional fields as duration and imdb number. Currently one needs to fill out all fields for the movie to be saved.

3. Be able to search for TV series. As examples Sherlock Holmes, Murder She Wrote, Miss Marple, Poirot etc. For some reason only a few can be found but I believe they were added as a movie not a TV series.

This is my wish list.

Thanks Project Developers for an easy to use Movie Collectors program.

  1. You can manually add it by entering the id in the url /?go=add&imdbid=0133093 or /add/imdbid/0133093/ if you have pretty url on. What tites do you have problem with?

You can also trick it by the following method:
a. Add the movie/tv-show manually with only imdb, title and year.
b. Press Edit and press Update and it will download the rest from Imdb.


  1. Do you get an error message? Works fine for me by only adding title and year.

  1. Do you mean the Add search or the search in the application? I can find it when adding from Imdb.
    You can also Edit the title and if it's a TV Series or not, in case it's filtered wrong in the applications search.
