Excellent! I'm making massive use of the log now but it opens the IE, not my default browser. Is there anthing I can do about that?


Unfortunately no. The control I'm using uses the IE internally. So when it opens a link in a new window it will naturally open another IE window.


I didn't use it for this, but theoretically the following should work:
Handle the event "Navigating" of the web control, cancel the default behaviour, and use the URL from the event (e.g. "e.Url.AbsoluteUri") and use this URL to start a process, which will start the default browser for handling html files (e.g. "System.Diagnostic.Process.Start(e.Url.AbsoluteUri)").
If it should only happen for specific links, just check the URL beforehand.

I'm not sure about the invelos rules and how much it matters for CCE2 anyway but what is it with the soundrack credits?

I recognized that I have much less musicians & bands in my collection than with the 'invelos-crew'. The reason is that the soundtrack listing is ignored by CCE2.

Was that intentional, is it impossible to add or just forgotten?

(I'm just curious, I don't wanna start all over again so I don't care much about an update for this - but I wouldn't mind either )

BTW - I'm almost done - B to H are still missing fake BYs but I've already done them with the pre-fake BY version so they are parsed very fast.

Do you have a sample movie?

For example, Armageddon doesn't have any Soundtrack credits I can see.

Armageddon
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120591/soundtrack

It's always seperated from the main crew list and is accessed on the left menu right below trivia and goofs. The few occasions where the is a song / band / musician credited in the music department are most likely errors but I'm not familiar with the imdb contribution rules.

Edit: But musician credits are kinda rare at 'Invelos credits', too. Maybe only title songs are allowed. For example Will Smith dissappeared from my MiB crew after the change from Invelos to CCE2/imdb credits.

YOU'RE MEAN!!!

I really like this idea - but I kind of hate to update all my (already done) profiles once again...


How do you think it should be added?

In your example, you've got this:
Quote:
"I Don't Want To Miss A Thing"
Written by Diane Warren
Performed by Aerosmith
Courtesy of Columbia Records

"Mister Big Time"
Written by Jon Bon Jovi and Aldo Nova
Performed by Jon Bon Jovi
Courtesy of Mercury Records, a PolyGram Company


Maybe something like this:
Crew-member: Aerosmith | role: Song-Performer "I Don't Want To Miss A Thing"
Crew-member: Diane Warren | role: Song-Writer "I Don't Want To Miss A Thing"
Crew-member: Jon Bon Jovi | role: Song-Performer "Mister Big Time"
Crew-member: Jon Bon Jovi | role: Song-Writer "Mister Big Time"
Crew-member: Aldo Nova | role: Song-Writer "Mister Big Time"

IF you're willing to add this:
I assume this would need a completely different parsing code, so maybe you could add it in an new tab.

Same here. I'd like it but I'm not going to do everything again. I can't wait to finish my remaining profiles and actually start watching more movies again.

I was just curious if it was forgotton or impossible to realize and maybe point out for others who wanna use CCE2 to post to Invelos that the crew list isn't complete. On the other hand I have no idea under wich circumstances musicians are allowed to be contributed to Invelos (or better: how it should be verified)  Rules say: Original Songs, written specifically for the film (hard to find out)

In case it ever is realized: your suggestion looks great

I'll give it a try.

But I wouldn't know what to do with someone like Lisa Gerrard: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0172495/soundtrack

You could restrict yourself to the profiles where you actually care about the soundtrack.

Quoting wikipedia:
Quote:
Gerrard sings many of her songs, such as "Now We Are Free", "Come Tenderness", "Serenity", "The Valley of the Moon", "Tempest", "Pilgrimage of Lost Children", "Coming Home" and "Sanvean" in an idioglossia (an idiosyncratic language) that she has developed since the age of twelve.

So I guess she's performer and writer.

Yeah but can you automatize that for every possible movie?

No, I can't - but if in question, leave it out...

I found these 'special' ones (in various profiles):
Quote:
"Flaming Red Hair"
Music Composed & Performed by David Donaldson / David Long / Steve Roche (as Stephen Roche) / Janet Roddick with Peter Daly / Chris O'Connor / Ruairidh Morrison / Grant Shearer
Courtesy of Mana Music

"SOMETHING I GOTTA DO"
Written by David Foster, Danny Peck and Tim DuBois
Performed by Restless Heart
Produced by David Foster
Co-Produced by Tim DuBois and Scott Hendricks
Restless Heart appears courtesy of RCA Records

"THEME FROM 'JAWS'"
Music composed and conducted by John Williams
Courtesy of MCA Records

"Brian Song"
Words by Michael Palin
Music by André Jacquemin and David Howman
Arranged by John Du Prez (as Trevor Jones)
Sung by Sonia Jones

"Vulcan Lyre"
(From "Raumschiff Enterprise: Amok Time (#2.1)" (1967))
Written by Gerald Fried
Courtesy of CBS Television Studios

"Bridal Chorus"
Written by Richard Wagner
Arranged by Andrew Patrick Dye
Courtesy of Crucial Music Corporation

"Monster"
(uncredited)
Written by Hayley Williams and Taylor York
Performed by Paramore
Produced by Rob Cavallo and Paramore
Courtesy of Atlantic Recording Corp./Fueled By Ramen
By arrangement with Warner Music Group Film & TV Licensing

Add 'Lyrics by', 'Music by', 'Produced by', 'Co-Produced', 'Composed by', 'Conducted by', 'Sung by' and/or 'Arranged by'?
What to do with '(From "Raumschiff Enterprise: Amok Time (#2.1)" (1967))' in "Vulcan Lyre"?

Titles like "SOMETHING I GOTTA DO" should be converted to "Something I Gotta Do".
The last one is uncredited, so should be left out.

Trading Places has a lot of 'by' without any 'role', on this title those seems to mean 'Written by'.

Couples Retreat has a lot of titles without any credits...

After consideration I think I skip this one.

The problem is that these credits are too "humanized" and not automaized enough.

About every entry looks different than the one before.

For example:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120591/soundtrack

I could never catch Aldo Nove because he's not linked to a person page. There would be no way for the parser to recognize this as a genuine name.

Then there's
Music Composed & Performed by
or
Music composed and conducted by

a different approach:

Would it be possible to 'simply' parse everyone with an 'imdb ID' on a imbd.com.../soundtrack.html page? This way most involved people & bands could be pasted into an (empty) profile and they are created in the local database including (fake) BY setting, picture download, name parsing & known names list in effect. etc

That alone means half the work is already done in case somebody wants to add a sountrack listing manually.

But I'm not gonna do that. I only wanna finish my collection and never use CCE2 again except if I buy a new DVD
