http://www.themoviedb.org/movie/2898 1st BD is poor quality, 2nd OK, 3rd the best. 1st Poster undersized.

http://www.themoviedb.org/movie/10135 1st backdrop wrong size, cropped to 1280 X 720 for the second backdrop. 1st poster has an extra image added to the normal poster, upped a correct poster.

http://www.themoviedb.org/movie/16021 is a dupe of http://www.themoviedb.org/movie/12230

http://www.themoviedb.org/movie/16061 inappropriate poster?

http://www.themoviedb.org/movie/16060 bad first backdrop and can't find anything better.

First off, I don't want to sound like I'm complaining here...just trying to get clarification.  I think the API is great and it's the most open solution that I've found.  Really...amazing job with it. 

On the Person.getInfo,  there are really no sortable fields returned with the filmography (besides the name).  I'd like to be able to sort all the movies a person has been involved with by release date descending.  The only way I can see to do it is to call movie.getInfo on every result returned in the filmography, add the result to an array, and then sort the array by the date.  I was thinking there had to be a better way because for people that have been in 50 or more movies, the time it would take to call the API that many times would timeout my app (let alone be an annoyance to the users).

I also have another similar question in the fact that the filmography of Person.getInfo does not have the url to the movie poster while the cast from movie.getInfo does return a poster url.  I'd like to show the person with a list of movies they've been in, and a thumbnail of the movie poster beside each one. However, I can't show the thumbnail without calling the API again for every movie that person has been involved with.

I don't know if I'm just missing something obvious or if there's just not an easy way to do what I'm wanting.  Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks!

What does everyone think about having the x-rated movies included in this movie database..?

I have noticed that a few have popped up, i have included a few that i have come across below but im sure if i looked harder i would find more.

Pirates (2005)

Pirates II: Stagnetti's Revenge (2008)

Not Bewitched XXX (2008)

Now at the moment the fanart and the posters that have been uploaded for these movies have been clean and no naked women on them, but if anything like that goes up then you would have to have a warning on your site n age restrictions.

Me personally think that we shouldn't have X-rated movies on the site at all. If there are enough people wanting movie info for their prono films then down the line there could be an x-rated movie database site with api access. Someone would just have to be willing to make such a site. There are plenty of places aswell to get high resolution X-rated movie covers and easy enough to make fanart for the films.

Anyway if anyone else comes across some x-rated movies in the database then add them to this topic so we can at least keep track of them untill it we know what to do with them.

Hannah Montana: The Movie - http://www.themoviedb.org/movie/18126 is a dupe of http://www.themoviedb.org/movie/18195

As a result, Movie Browser for Windows Media Center is not able to pull down any information for this movie.

Can anyone help to correct this issue?

I have been submitting information for all of my movies that are missing data because I want all 700 of the movies in my collection to have the proper info. However I have hit a wall with this movie and do not know what to do.

Thanks,

Matt

MirrorBrain is an open source framework to run a content delivery network using mirror servers. It solves a challenge that many popular open source projects face - a flood of download requests, often magnitudes more than a single site could practically handle.

A central (and probably the most obvious) part is a "download redirector" which automatically redirects requests from web browsers or download programs to a mirror server near them.

Choosing a suitable mirror for a users request is the key, and MirrorBrain uses geolocation and global routing data to make a sensible choice, and achieve load-balancing for the mirrors at the same time. The used algorithm is both sophisticated and easy to control and tune. In addition, MirrorBrain monitors mirrors, scans them for files, generates mirror lists, and more.

I've been using the API to search for films in my collection using the already-fetched IMDB number, which I'd assumed would be safer than using the name+year, as I've already resolved the year-conflicts in fetching the IMDB details, and the name of the film might differ - IMDB has the primary name as the name in the country of origin, I think, whereas I tend to prefer to read the English version.

Some of the films that I've searched for report multiple results in the API results. My current code just dies with an error:

       die "TMDB lookup IMDB '$imdbid' returned " . scalar(@candidate) . " results\n";

which is ok if I want to manually resolve the problems, but it would be useful to know what the recommended behaviour should be.

Is it best to just use the first result for these duplicates ?

[When I searched the forums, I couldn't find a direct answer to this question, although I did see quite a few posts where duplicates had been mentioned and these had been tidied up by removing one. I can certainly list the ones that were duplicates, if that would help.]

I have migrated all of the methods over to the new system. As well as introduced the new, longly awaited Person.x methods. Lots has been improved, such as, but not limited to:

• Improve text searching: I have done some major tweaking to the index movie search filter. This is going to take a lot testing but the API should find the proper movie higher in the list (ie. it's score). Things like apostrophes and other characters shouldn't impact searching any more. If you find one that doesn't work properly, let me know.

• Fix UTF-8 issues: Searching characters like é will work properly now.

• Make API RESTful: The API supports XML, YAML, and JSON output now.

• Proper genres: I have re-implemented the categories section to properly display actual genres now.

• Add studios: Studios have been added to the Movie.getInfo method.

The new request URLs looks like the following:

Movie Methods

http://api.themoviedb.org/2.1/Movie.search/en/xml/APIKEY/Fight+Club

AND

http://api.themoviedb.org/2.1/Movie.getInfo/en/xml/APIKEY/550

AND

http://api.themoviedb.org/2.1/Movie.imdbLookup/en/xml/APIKEY/tt0137523

Person Methods

http://api.themoviedb.org/2.1/Person.search/en/xml/APIKEY/Brad+Pitt

AND

http://api.themoviedb.org/2.1/Person.getInfo/en/xml/APIKEY/287

You'll notice the URL is split into 4 groups, language, type, api key and your search.

• Language: The language is only available for English right now, but obviously I am working towards changing that.

• Type: Can be set to either: XML, YAML, JSON

• API Key: Same API key you've been using all along.

• Search: Either the ID or title depending on the method you are using.

Please post all issues in this thread.

Thanks!

The error I am getting is due to the movie "WarGames: The Dead Code".

The search function returns two diferent IDs (14222 and 14154) for the same movie, but one of them just don't scrape. The problem is that it's the first result that returns an error when I try to get its info (XML Parsing Error: no element found
Location: http://api.themoviedb.org/2.1/Movie.get … IKEY/14222
Line Number 1, Column 1:
^).
I'm using a string similarity function to parse the result that matches best the title of the movie I want, and because the two results have the same title, the algorithm chooses always the first one. As this is an automatic process, I can't control this manually.
Another thing is that if I search for "wargames" on the webstite I get a white page with "Application error (Rails)" wrote on it, so maybe someone should look into this.

Another question is why the API return the Stephen King's version of "The Shining" as first result instead of Kubric's one? Because on the website, the King's version is at best the second result.

Thanks for your work.
