New GIT repository

Hello all,

I'm planning to move videoDB from SF to GIT. The initial GIT repository 
has already been created at http://github.com/andig/videodb and 
populated with Release 4.0 (most fixes should be in now).

Feel free to start using the GitHub Issue tracker as well as the "pull 
request" functions.

Cheers,
Andreas

output.php bug

Hi there,

I think, output.php is currently broken in CVS. Function out_genres 
creates a new HTML table ($out = '<table class="genreselect">) but it 
never closes it before returning the output. This results in at least 
elegant theme to be broken (edit page looks awful here).

Attached patch should correct the problem.

Cheers
Plotin

OFDBGW problems

Hi there,

I noticed you updated the OFDB engine to use OFDBGW (in CVS). Although 
it's generally a good idea using a WebService rather than parsing the 
pages, OFDBGW does not seem to return consistent data for all movies.

Take for example "Untraceable" (movie ID 137450). On the OFDB website, 
many of the cast members have pictures and all of those have information 
about their role (for example Diane Lane playing Jennifer Marsh, and she 
has a picture). When querying OFDBGW however, the result show as

--snip
<besetzung>
   <person>
     <id/>
     <name>Diane Lane</name>
   </person>
   ...
--snap

which results in her not being given a picture in VideoDB, no 
information about her role and the hyperlink in the details page not 
pointing to OFDB at all.

That's just one example. It's not only with this movie, there are others.

Also, <kurzbeschreibung> is often too short (for example: "Die 
FBI-Agentin Jennifer Marsh (Diane Lane), die in der Abteilung für 
Cybercrimes arbeitet und jede Nacht im Internet auf Seiten unterwegs 
ist, die es" for Untraceable). On the OFDB page there is a "mehr" Link

Announcing: nexgen

I'm happy to announce that the first version of the "NexGen" template is 
now available in CVS:

The template code has been completely restructure and is now much 
cleaner and easier to maintain. Please note that it's still in the early 
development stages and needs further work before functionality and 
buggyness are similar to the well-known templates...

Cheers,
Andi

Summary: IMDB search no longer works (v3.1.0)

Initial Comment:
Search with IMDB stopped to work a few weeks ago. You can search directly on the website and copy the ID from
the URL, but the integrated search was much better :). Since IMDB offers a REST Webservice interface,
maybe that would be the way to go in order to have a stable IMDB engine.
