Hi there Eugene,
I use WDTV Live and WMS to watch movies.
What I like to see on TV is a brief description of the movies in the list.
For example, when I look at the list of movies from Comcast "ON DEMAND", I select a movie from the list and I see a brief "plot" of the movie. I hope I am clear.
Is this possible with WMS
I know we will have to type the "plot" text in WMS when we type items like "genre", "year", etc, etc.
Thanks

Re: Feature Request - Movie Plot
Hi,
For information downloaded from online databases (IMDB) in the folder Transcoding is created folder for this information. Perhaps will be mode "Every movie in a separate folder", if a user is using such storage, the information can be included there.2Old4DigitalLife wrote: I use WDTV Live and WMS to watch movies.

Re: Feature Request - Movie Plot
Thanks Eugene, that worked great, but I see a small problem.
Internet information loads fine. Some parts of the information has special characters like "&".
WDTV Live does not like these characters and when it encounters them, reboots.
So I go to folder "transcoding"-"watch folders" and select a movie and "information from the internet"-"imdb", right click information and remove special character "&". So far so good, but:
When I click "RENEW", the information changes back to what it was.
How and where do I "permanently" modify internet information so when I click RENEW, it does not bring back special characters?
Great Media Player by the way.

Re: Feature Request - Movie Plot
Actually, I reallized it is not special character.
Selecting the whole line causes WDTV Live to re boot.
The specific line shown in the attached file.
This could be a very specific case related to my system, and may not be applicable to every one.
I just probably have an issue with my setup, and I have to figure it out.
Thanks

1. Select IMDB
2. Button Edit
3. Search
Code: Select all
function AddMediaInfo(aImdbItem: TWmsIMDBItem; const aRegExpr, aCaption: string;
const aImageRegExpr: string = ''): TWmsIMDBItem;
Code: Select all
WmsHtmlToText(sMatch)
Code: Select all
ReplaceStr(WmsHtmlToText(sMatch), '&', ' ')
Code: Select all
function AddMediaInfo(aImdbItem: TWmsIMDBItem; const aRegExpr, aCaption: string;
const aImageRegExpr: string = ''): TWmsIMDBItem;
var
sMatch: string;
begin
Result := nil;
if FindMediaInfo(aRegExpr, sMatch) then begin
Result := aImdbItem.ChildList.AddItem(aCaption, ReplaceStr(WmsHtmlToText(sMatch), '&', ' '));
if (aImageRegExpr <> '') and FindMediaInfo(aImageRegExpr, sMatch) then
Result.Image := GetImdbThumbnailURL(sMatch)
end
end;

Re: Feature Request - Movie Plot
Well, I tried that. Looks like didn't help. When I get to the same line, WDTV re boots.
I noticed another issue. When I select "settings" "device" WD TV Live HD Media Player (DLNA, 16:9, 720x406), the re boot happens for every line no matter what. But, when I choose "settings" "device" "Sony TV NTSC (DLNA, 16:9, 720x406)", this only happens on the specific line shown above JPEG attachment.
Well, I guess for now, we can think this feature has some issue, but it could be WDTV Live issue.
Thanks

Re: Feature Request - Movie Plot
I will check to make sure, but it should be the latest.
Because when I try to update fw from the network tells me I have the latest and update not needed.
