   ” I hope this is seen as appropriate by the community ”

   i will upgrade to this version and allow you to earn money ! as long as you offer more features maybe a inline java Bittorrent downloader or add lightview or highslide script into this with a BT download tool on the view page when user clicks BT icon.

   that would be a very good feature to add, then your actions would be appropriate

2. LStout March 28th, 2009 at 9:56 pm 2

   A great feature would be adding a “Watch Trailer” link to each entry!

   As for the post above I don’t think Amazon would like it if they had a torrent link beside their Amazon link! HAHA

   Hello,

   It would be great to have a simplified theme for iphone too

4. andig April 8th, 2009 at 5:19 pm 4

   Good point- I can see this would be really helpful. I invite anybody who’d like to contribute to send a proposal for such a theme to the developer’s mailing list.

   For newer releases please update the ofdb.php engine.
   There is a bug with german mutated vowels: If the parser find a mutated vowel, the rest will be cut (title and also plot).

   I have fixed it for myself and it works fine

   see Line: 197 and Line 273

   ——

   Another suggestion to assign the automatic disk id.
   If the the diskid is numeric in my opinion it is better to add a sql query like:

   $tmpSql = “SELECT max(diskid) AS tmpID FROM videodb_videodata WHERE owner_id = ‘”.get_current_user_id().”‘”;

   The advantage is that every User has his own incrementation of diskids.

   Otherwise nice work!

   Hello.
   At first, thank you for this great project.

   I would like to install 4.0pre but cannot find a download link on sourceforge? Do I need to browse the CVS and download every file manually?

7. munir June 9th, 2009 at 2:31 pm 7

   Hello,

   I cannot see any progress on the development of this project.I wanted to tell you that I actually bought and tried every piece of software on video & movie library management and videodb is by far the best application. But it doesn’t mean that it is perfect. For example, I am waiting for a cover flow like experience for all the movies listed on the screen. So, I wanted to help the developement but I don’t use php at least 3 years now. If you need any donation for the continuation for the project I am sure that you can find a lot of people who are ready to donate (including me). All we are waiting is to see an active developement of the project.

   Please let us hear good news

   Kind regards.

   Please give an indian movies searchable engine for actor and cover snapshots in this version.

   waiting hard for version 4.

   thank you

9. Freubelaar June 25th, 2009 at 12:16 pm 9

   I hope as a dutchguy that a connection with moviemeter.nl (dutch version of IMDB) is present in the new version…

   Greetings Freubelaar

10. andig June 25th, 2009 at 4:36 pm 10

    It is not- but you’re welcome to contribute (we’re happily accepting donations of coke and cash !

11. andig June 25th, 2009 at 4:37 pm 11

    ps.: alexji- same goes for indian movie sites. I’d be happy to include new engines if they come complete with test cases…

    Finally i think i found a replacement for my old vcd-db installation.

    Vcd-db was great but is not developed anymore, the guy just vanished without a word, leaving users alone in the rain.

    I just have a question, would it be possible to do something like a vcd-db import script for videodb?
    I have 1000 movies in my database and dont want to type them in manually.

    If it would help i could supply the xml dump of my vcd-db database.

    I’m shure many users would like such a feature.

    And i like the idea of a iphone theme

13. Björn June 29th, 2009 at 12:38 pm 13

    btw. where can i download 4.0-pre?
    Couldnt find it in the cvs.

14. Skanker July 22nd, 2009 at 4:37 pm 14

    Just want to say VideoDB is great! I’m currently finishing translation in our language.
    Waiting for pre 4.0

15. zain July 31st, 2009 at 1:47 am 15

    please update svn to current commit

16. Trezoristo August 3rd, 2009 at 9:20 pm 16

    Really looking forward to these updates. I recently discovered this excellent piece of software thanks to a friend of mine, and imediately added my movie collection. Keep up the good work!

17. Jdaw August 28th, 2009 at 4:19 pm 17

    Just installed v3.03 last night and will begin adding my movie collection tonight.

    Thanks for working on this project, it has the best look to it compared to the others I have tested.

    The easiest to add movies into and gathering the information.

    Thanks for a great product.

    I’m a little “OOF’d” by this policy:

    Note: both amazon.com and trade-a-game.de data providers contain code that allow me to receive benefits (via an affiliate/ partnership program) if anybody purchases items using this way. I hope this is seen as appropriate by the community as small exchange for the time and effort I’ve invested in developing videoDB!
    ——————–
    What this means is, that a friend of mine can access my private videoDB site, click a link in the interface to purchase said flick from say Amazon and you get paid? Whoa!!! Nice gig!

    Stay TF off my server! I’ve been using this app since at least ’05. It’s the best of its kind, wrinkles and all. If you want to be compensated for your work since you took over the project, fine – say so. I’d gladly give you $10. I’ll bet anyone else would, too. But keep your code off my server that pays you for every hit to a buy that I might make on a movie in my database or that a friend might make. That’s some sneaky and creepy shit.

    I won’t be upgrading until any said afilliate code is removed nor will I be recommending this once most excellent app again, until such time…

19. stefano September 26th, 2009 at 11:48 am 19

    I hope you add imdb.it in menu config for search in italian db.

    Alice K. its not tracking software he just gets a small cut of the sale, its the least we can do for free software…..jeez! ive been using this for years too it would be an excellent way to say thanks. any grateful human would encourage his/her friends to do the same in appreciation. i dont understand your problem/concerns. open source means you could take that code out and still give him your donation if you like. or maybe ask if he can point out the code in return?

21. LStout October 27th, 2009 at 11:47 pm 21

    Alice K… it’s ass holes like you that give a bad name to open source. What on earth difference does it make if someone clicks a link from your server and a small amount of change goes to the person that made your site happen??? Not coming outta your pocket is it? It simply benefits everyone. You get FREE code, Amazon gets commission for a sale, and creator of this gets some change for making it all happen. It seems like a win – win for everyone. Maybe u should just put your shit on an Excel spread sheet and leave VideoDB for good!

    Does someone have a copy of the latest 4.0pre? I cannot get it off the CVS… and I am very interested in using the latest features of the software. I don’t care if its not THE LATEST if you cannot check out the latest version either… just a “close-enough-to-working” 4.0pre will work for me.

    Also are we considering a move to SVN or git or anything better than CVS? Honestly its soo old… there are many better version control systems out there. Thanks for your help guys.

    And btw if it really offends you that the affiliate code is there (which 99% of the users would probably never even had noticed had he not said anything). You can always edit the code, and put in your own affiliate link (although if you do that, I highly suggest you donate to the project to compensate).

23. andig November 3rd, 2009 at 9:31 pm 23

    CVS seems to work for me. Please check on the developers mailing list if this continues to be an issue.

    Best regards,
    Andreas

24. Travis McCrea November 3rd, 2009 at 11:42 pm 24

    and is the CVS running 4.0pre, it seems to be showing everything as the 3.X branch

25. Travis McCrea November 3rd, 2009 at 11:45 pm 25

    Update: Still trying to checkout

    Checkout from http://videodb.cvs.sourceforge.net/videodb, revision HEAD, Fully recursive, Externals included
    Repository moved temporarily to ‘/viewvc/videodb/’; please relocate

    I will look into another way of obtaining it maybe its tortoise just being dumb. Another reason I hate windows and wish I could just go back to Linux Mint

26. andig November 14th, 2009 at 1:32 pm 26

    Mhm. My CVSROOT looks like this in TortoiseCVS: videodb.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/videodb
    I don’t think http/ viewcvs is the right protocol and tool.

27. Ben January 3rd, 2010 at 7:36 pm 27

    Hi. This is a great script!
    Where can I download v4.0-pre?
    Thank you.

28. Casey February 19th, 2010 at 12:26 am 28

    I was able to pull the source using the following command from a linux shell:

    cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@videodb.cvs.sourceforge.net/cvsroot/videodb checkout videodb

29. D3us March 29th, 2010 at 11:59 am 29

    i wish i can save the photo of the movie star in my server

30. Haaki April 17th, 2010 at 10:33 pm 30

    The above workarount works fine for cuted plot an titles with german letter…but i’ve noticed another bug.

    If i open videodb in a second browser window, i get the forbidden error page…because of security check in line 57 in /core/functions.php.
    After closing both windows and reopen videodb everything works fine. This happens from 192.168.0.* and from external ip. I hope $id is not a superglobal and used by another php script !?!?!?

    i wrote this in line 55:
    if (!is_numeric($id)) $id=”;
    but it is not the best method …..

    any ideas?

31. Daniel Coello July 2nd, 2010 at 11:29 pm 31

    Hi, I have modified the script code based on the elegant template and could add Spanish titles as main titles (can be changed for any language obtained from “akas” from Imdb) but not yet implemented into the configuration panel; Original titles, some Academy Award winnings (using 6 custom fields) showing icons for main categories winning, Oscar icon beside main picture for Best picture awards, best picture nomination field and favorite picture icon. I want to share this development, that is mainly uncommented, but I don´t know how.
    Sorry for my bad english.

32. lstout September 8th, 2010 at 5:28 pm 32

    I just downloaded the latest CVS and it looks and feels same as v303. It even says v303 in footer. Is the CVS updated to 4 yet? Is there anyways someone could post a link to download 4 or could the admin post a beta 4 release?

33. Ben September 19th, 2010 at 5:27 pm 33

    What has happened to 4.0pre? I’ve looked EVERYWHERE and can not find a download. Please can someone post a link. Thanks.

34. Hiyarin Biri October 14th, 2010 at 3:29 pm 34

    This project contiune or dead?

35. andig October 14th, 2010 at 7:52 pm 35

    Alive and kicking. As always, latest code is in CVS.

36. andig October 14th, 2010 at 7:52 pm 36

    Please refer to the mailing list for discussion of the “4.0″ topic.

37. andig October 14th, 2010 at 7:54 pm 37

    PS.: Everybody waiting for 4.0- what exactly are you missing? The features demonstrated above are all in CVS!

    Best,
    Andreas

38. Hiyarin Biri October 29th, 2010 at 11:55 pm 38

    what is CVS?
    I dont know

    thanks

39. LStout November 15th, 2010 at 11:03 am 39

    I just downloaded the most recent CVS and it seems there is an error loading DVD Cover image and the Actor Thumbnails. Is anyone else having this issue???

40. andig November 15th, 2010 at 1:30 pm 40

    For this sort of questions please contact the developers mailing list. Please make sure to add a proper problem description: what exactly are you trying to do? what goes wrong? which template are you using? which movie/ external engine etc. are affected by this behaviour?

41. LStout December 11th, 2010 at 2:07 am 41

    Just updated from CVS as of today and everything is working with the exception of the DVD Cover image. Here is the URL to see what I mean.

    http://ramndump.connectingeasttexas.com/videodb_NEW/index.php

    If I login and click EDIT there is a URL in the COVER URL box. If I copy and paste that URL in browser it points to the correct IMDB cover image. So why isn’t it showing up? Any suggestions?

42. Frank December 22nd, 2010 at 6:29 pm 42

    That’s really a great piece of software! Thanks!

43. Joey December 27th, 2010 at 9:11 pm 43

    I would like the possibility to chose AKA titles for movies in manual add and mass add.

    I’m Danish and some foreign movies get inserted with danish title, which doesn’t really work for me….

    maybe some filter thingy saying ‘Use Original title when possible or english/danish/dutch/etc etc.’

    Thanks for the one program I always return to, when i try other opensource products or payed programs.

    Lov’it

44. Itsme December 28th, 2010 at 4:00 pm 44

    I have run the CVS but in the CVS version mass add (in tools) does not seem to work anymore. Is there something that can be done… there is nu browse button and the selection box is empty…..

    Great job!

    Is the project still alive?

53. kareem January 4th, 2012 at 10:13 am 53

    is there any recent updates coming up soon? .. i love this script although last time i tested it .. it had troubles fetching images from IMDB correctly … hope new release is out soon with fixes

54. Kareem January 5th, 2012 at 11:58 am 54

    please update the script .. this is what i was looking for .. for a long time .. but it won’t fetch IMDB data correctly “images” even uploading images doesn’t fix it

55. Juergen November 16th, 2012 at 8:13 am 55

    Maybe I’m too blind to find but where are some infos/manual for VideoDB? Using it for years now but e.g. the email function never worked (due to the lack of configuration of a smtp server, I guess). Other topics where I hoped to find some information are:
    - how to make a proper update to the most recent version
    - what’s the login data for your demo videodb?
    - you mentioned “Demo upgraded to 4.0pre” in this post. Where can I find it to try before installation?
    A wonderful and very helpful project, thanks for that! Could be much more valuable if any documentation exists..:-)
