What device are you using YAMJ on? PHP-110

Hi,

It would be nice to have cast member as a link that points to cast member page with an image, short info and Filmography.

The cast member page should be shared between all movies

10x

Ilgizar, Please use the model from TheMovieDb as this has cast information already in it and would be a good start.

The data model can be seen here: http://code.google.com/p/themoviedbapi/source/browse/#svn%2Ftrunk%2Fthemoviedbapi%2Fsrc%2Fmain%2Fjava%2Fcom%2Fmoviejukebox%2Fthemoviedb%2Fmodel

If you need access to the source, let me know.

TheMovieDb have a nice structure: more thought. I use it, but need sequence of ID, as it release on YAMJ:

XXX YYY ZZZ

if this is possible.

Сompilation is successful, but the scanner fails. I do not want to poison the repository, so the attached files with the changes. Crux of the problem in the double type definition artwork on com.moviejukebox.model and com.moviejukebox.themoviedb.model. My changes:

1. add to class Movie Collection people = new ArrayList();
2. add to class Library private TreeMap<String, Person> people = new TreeMap<String, Person>();
3. add to function writeMovie on class MovieJukeboxXMLWriter procedure writes of personal data (begin from line 1310)

Ok, so it might be best to copy that model into MJB to prevent this issue. That way we can tweak it to meet our requirements.

Comment #8 originally posted by Omertron on 2011-05-05T17:24:36.000Z:

Why are you replicating both the cast and the person sections? That'll make the XML quite large for films.

We should keep with the split that we have at the moment (cast/writer/director), although I agree that a "person" node would be better eventually.

Hallo,

I'm from German and the designer of the Modyfiant-Skin, there can find of my Board: http://www.german-yamj-board.org

I have testet the new options from the revision r2346 with Peoples/Casts. It was nice, that the YAMJ-Team brings this Future, but i have some Problmes between the Function:

When i set the Parameter to "false" in the "My_Library.xml", all Infos of People are going down of the movie.xml. YAMJ dosen't search for the People Infos, if the Actors are standing in the NFO-File (i work with Ember). YAMJ doesn't load Photos for People. And the Scan is very slowly (yb five testmovie over 60min.) and the Jukebox becomes rather large;

Sorry for bad english, i hope, you understand me.

Are you already know these problems?

Hello,

I still have any problems with the options "mjb.people.popularity" and "mjb.people.maxCount". If I use "mjb.people.popularity" and "mjb.people.maxCount" to "default", then at 500 Movies searched for little people. If I use "mjb.people.popularity" to -1, then search YAMJ me all the people at 500 Movies that makes the scan very very slowly (over 8h). A Rescan to find new Movies under these conditions is unacceptable.

It would be useful if the option "mjb.people = false" for a rescan not the existing person.htm would hide in the moviedetails, or "mjb.people = true" would be a rescan the existing skip persons as in the movies, thats a very nice.

I hope, you understand me.

[Omertron]

Comment #35 originally posted by Omertron on 2011-05-24T03:50:52.000Z:

If use default values "mjb.people.popularity" and "mjb.people.maxCount", then always search 10 popular person only. If use "mjb.people.popularity" to -1 and default value "mjb.people.maxCount", then of each film in 10 persons each job (director, writer, actor). I recommend using a "mjb.people.popularity" greater than zero and indicate a reasonable number of people in "mjb.people.maxCount". Hide the person in the moviedetails is not appropriate in the absence of personal data (person.htm). Cast enhancement because it is designed to replace the old structures directors/writers/cast. To determine whether the personal description should check the value tag . If "UNKNOWN", then not exists person.htm, otherwise there is a file name of personal data (person.htm).

Hi,

i'm found the error with with "character","job" ect. is only "UNKNOWN" in <people/person> by the tvshown-name.xml: I use NFOs with Casts/Actors inside. If i delete all casts/actors out of this NFO, then YAMJ scanned correctly and the Information is in the tvshow-name.xml. See my examples:

With Casts in the NFO:

Richard Dean Anderson

Without Casts in the NFO;

Richard Dean Anderson

I delete all the Cast/Actors out of my all NFOs and now it works correctly!

Comment #45 originally posted by Omertron on 2011-05-29T14:56:09.000Z:

Some questions

1. Is there a skin that supports the Cast feature?
2. I do not see the index file been created, I got, Indexing Cast (7/8) contains 0 indexes, why?

UNKNOWN UNKNOWN

Should not it be indexed?

Thanks for the support

defi, I could not repeat the mistake with the above result. Need a probe NFO file. Scanner use tag on NFO file now. I do not understand why the job="UNKNOWN" with Casts in the NFO.

Comment #47 originally posted by Omertron on 2011-05-30T10:10:21.000Z:

avi.klem, default skin supports the Cast feature only. Index "Cast" is not index "Cast enhancement", it uses the index "Person".

Comment #48 originally posted by Omertron on 2011-05-30T11:03:37.000Z:

Hi,

i use this format in my NFO-Files:

My NFOs are older than on the wiki, so I have the TAG </ role> does not make in it. I thought YAMJ would also support older NFOs. It's not a Problem, i delete all Actor-Inforamtion out of the NFOs.

Hi,

I still can not get the "Cast enhancement" to work. I see the info on the movie xml file but I do not see any index been created and I can not see anything new while using the default skin.

What configuration is needed to open the feature?

The only configuration I did is with the mjb.categories.indexList

I put Cast, I put Person and ...nothing

Thanks for the advice

Avi

Comment #50 originally posted by Omertron on 2011-05-31T03:54:20.000Z:

Use default skin from development trunk. To switch on this feature set mjb.people=true and mjb.includePhoto=true to view photos. To indexing people append "Person" to mjb.categories.indexList. More options you find in [PropertiesConfiguration] part "Persons". To view personal information on complete jukebox: on movie detail click to director or actor name.
