Hello,
im from Germany, using WMS with my PS3 and its working really fine.
But after importing some Data about my Films with or from IMDB, the Actors List has been growing too much.
So when i started to look and search in the Actors List, it was full of Actors i never heard.
First I wanted to edit the "konwn" Actors with an # ( for example #Sean Connery ) so that i can find the known actors at the top of the Actors List.
But it is as lot of work to erase them or to edit each Film and his actors.
So i started to look in WMS for an Export to ( for Example ) Excel, so that i can easy search and
edit the FILM/Actor List, but i didn't found any export.
My for me most interesting Questions now:
Is there any chance to Export the whole Film list to an editable Format, edit it and
import it then back to WMS?
I think, that would be the best Solution!
Or is it Possible, to edit the IMDB before loading in WMS?
Thanks for any Assitance and useful help.
Hello?!!
Can anybody help Me?!

Re: Actor List too long
Hello Eugene,
it worked!
Thanks a lot for your great and fast help.
In german we would say: " I was on the woodway", looking, testing and searching in the wrong
Menüs!
But "Your are really great and your software ist the best i'd ever seen."
So once again, thank you.
Have a Nice Weekend!

Re: Actor List too long
Eugene may I ask you for some help?
I would like to find all movies with i.e. actor "Matt Damon" or whatever.
So first I added ABC-Actors in collections.
Then I added actors grouping like
UpperCase(Copy(mpActor, 1, 1))
Now I can find under folder "M"
MATT DAMON, DANNY DEVITO, ...
MATT DAMON, ROBIN WILLIAMS, ...
MATT DAMON, BEN AFFLEK, ...
so this is ok.
But now I would like to show under folder "M"
MATT DAMON only once (without all the other actors)
and under this another folder with all 3 movies.
M-
--MATT DAMON--
-----------------Movie 1
-----------------Movie 2
-----------------Movie 3
--MAGGIE SMITH--
-----------------Movie 1
-----------------Movie 2
etc.
Can you give me a hint how I can accomplish this?
Thank you.

Code: Select all

Re: Actor List too long
Thank you Eugene.
Now I see
folder "M" containing only one folder "Matt Damon"
which is perfect.
under the folder "Matt Damon" now I see:
MATT DAMON, etc ..
MATT DAMON, etc..
MATT DAMON, etc..
How could I see the name of the corresponding movie name instead ?
like:
"M"
---"MATT DAMON"
------"Movie Name 1" (instead of list of actors)
------"Movie Name 2" (instead of list of actors)
------"Movie Name 3" (instead of list of actors)
Would this be possible?
Thanks again for your help.
