avimanager is easy to configure. you can add the fields in aviman.cfg.
I know that the documentation is not very good, but maybe someone who like
the program can help here. a documentation written by an user is often
better than one written by the developers.
imdb changed here things. it was supported, maybe i find a solution to
grab this from amazon.com.
this is already in current cvs which rocks ;-). expect MANY new nice
features in 0.8

I'll try and have a deeper look in the config, thanx.

If I understand a little more what's going on there I could write/help
with the doku, but as you can read I'm not a native english speaker/writer,
maybe i could write it in german and someone will translate it?

I'm looking myself for covers and already have a lot in a format i like, i
just want to store it all together, the info and the subs and the pictures,
so i just need a way to upload the big covers (like the subtitles
but I want to see in every view (just a line/a big one (what's
new)/full view) if there is a subtitle AND a "Big-Cover-Picture"
available...

Thanks, great! I downloaded the current CVS-Version and the
sort-funktion works!!!
...just the "non-imdb" voting isn't sortable (last column) - Isn't it that
easy, 'cause it isn't a simple fixed data-field in the db, or have you
forgotten it? ;-)
...by the way: there isn't an Image called "image10_3.gif" it has to do
with the "lent" feature?!
> ...why are the "headshots" that tiny

Please add the same funktion "view-big-picture" to the DVD-Covers itself
(if there is an entry in the future "big-covers" directory) to
view/download them... ;-)

No, thank YOU for the fast reply, there are just two questions
left(today) ;-) :
What is the meaning of "burned/unburned" in this program - if I select
"burned" there is a red checkmark in the list, if I select "unburned" there
is a CD-logo in the list... I would prefer to swap the logos and change the
default (add new movie) to "burned"...
I think "It's on a CD" is the "best" and shows a CD-logo...
And if "unavailable" is just the 3rd and "lent" is the 4th state a move
can get i'd like to switch them, too...
I think the ranking should be:
1st (best): burned
2nd : unburned
3rd : lent
4rd : unavailable/lost in space
Is there something i misunderstood, or would you agree?
what's the meaning of the "owner(s)"?
- first i thought every movie has a single owner, but in the CVS-Version
the quick-search doesn't displays just the movies the selected users
"owns", but much more...
Is there a way to have multiple "owners" for one movie, and how do i
change them?
I just find a Botton named "Change" next by the Text "Owner:
Add/Remove:"
and if i press them i could only switch between Owner: ME/NONE
I can't "give" it to someone else or Add another user, also owns a (maybe
different VHS/DVD) version of the movie...
Is it a missing feature or does it mean there is a difference between the
"owners" in the config file and the new added users and everybody in
the owners-list owns all movies exept the movie a "user" added??
...big confusion...maybe just a bug?! ;-)
Oh, i like the lent feature VERY much, is there a way to make
viewable WHO is the temporary owner of it, when i select the movie?
I just find a list at the start page...
...still loving the program, hope i can add a "quality", etc. field by
myself, thanks again for the work so far,
.......bye...

i simply was too lazy to do this. it will be of course in 0.8.

there will be a link from the thumbnail to the cover if a big cover
exists.

the unburned logo is the kde icon for cd_writer. maybe i can find icons
that are better. i will add support for different status-fields for
different videotypes. like the guy here mentioned, you shouldn't burn a vhs
tape ;-). so i need new icons, that are not so specific.

you are right. will fix this too

quicksearch does not find the owners, if finds the best movies for the
selected people. it is the "find movie" page with its default values. this
is our main feature and the reason why i made this script.

add/remove is new and not long tested or polished. there are minor bugs
and i will fix them for 0.8. what it should be (in my opinion, but let me
know if you think it is stupid):
- you can add owners in aviman.cfg. they must have [SU] accounts.
- yes, a movie can have multiple owners.
- if someone joins your database, he can add his movies fast with the
add/remove button.
- support for different videotypes for every owner is not planed, we have
a comment field for things like that.
i wrote this database just because i was tired of long discussions which
movie we should watch and tired of watching bad movies [ be warned, this
feature works so good, you will spent many hours more in front of your
tv/pc ;-) ]. now it's a little portal and 1-2 features are bad hacks/very
limited, because they where never planed and it would be a lot of work to
do a cleaner version. but hey, they work.
