Migrating from TMDB [Import/Export]. #84

Open ghost opened 5 months ago

ghost commented 5 months ago

Hi! Firs of all thanks for a good app.

I'm now trying to completely migrate from TMDB to CineLog and noticed that TMDB's exported tables and CineLog's import/export tables are quite differ. It's ok for me to play around with text editors and office (changing columns, titles, formats and so on) to get the TMDB's tables to way, which CineLog can read properly. And it worked fine. The main issue for me at the moment is that TMDB's CSV has no "overview" and "poster_path" fields at all. So all of my imported entries look a bit... sad: just titles, dates and ratings. I could try to copy all the rest by hands, but making it for all of my ~3000 entries gonna become a challenge even for my will.

So I'm wondering if there is a way to somehow synchronize all the data, filling the empty fields, using e.g. TMDB ID. Or may be any other way to make it look right?

Thank you for your work. Looking forward to some news.

Hi,

Sorry for the late answer, did you fine a working answer ?

I don't know if tmdb has an API, but if it does exist, it should be possible to get at least overview and use it to populate cinelog one. Poster is a little be more complicated but should be possible too.
