| Joey Starr Senior Member  Still wanking after all these years. 8082 Posts 10/00 |  Posted - Mar 14 2009 : 5:20AMNeed something nice to keep track on my porn DVD collection (maybe 800 to 1000+ not sure) on my Mac. My girlfriend has CDpedia on her Mac G4 Cube for her CD collection (4000+) and she's very happy with it. DVDpedia for Macintosh. Feedback appreciated. Cheers, Joey PS : I have Bento 2 already which I also might use, but I don't mind spending the extra cash if DVDpedia is easier to use. [Link] |

| BadKarma Member 110 Posts 11/00 | Posted - Mar 16 2009 : 2:08AM I didn't see any option for having it shipped on their store page.The producers of dvdpedia are a small Macintosh software company. I'm surprised they provide an IAFD plug-in at all, being that IAFD is porn related. I took a quick look at their plug-in development page. It appears simple enough. Written in ObjectiveC, Cocoa with Xcode. Standard Mac stuff. Only 4 functions in a plug in, only 1 of which is actually required. What do you want the plug-in to do that the IAFD plug-in they provide doesn't do? [Link] |
| Jeff @ IAFD Webmaster IAFD.COM 931 Posts 6/00 | Posted - Mar 16 2009 : 4:34AM As I recall, a Google Alert popped up from one of their forums and I inquired about something someone complained about, said I'd be willing to help them solve their users' problem -- they're doing some primitive page scraping -- and SOAP it up for them, but they didn't bite. I've got a mac here that gathers dust, so I don't really use their stuff... nor do I know any of the Mac scripting languages... but I was willing (at the time) to get a Web Service set up as a test run for some other projects that since went by the wayside...

| Bruji New Member 1 Posts 3/09 | Posted - Mar 16 2009 : 1:25PM Thanks for your interest in DVDpedia and the IAFD plug-in. We'd love to improve the plug-in or even better if IAFD would implement the API, that'd be perfect. (Makes for much easier maintenance for us and better integration into DVDpedia.) @ Jeff, I remember our email exchange and I was under the impression that you were actually working on an API for iafd.com already? Maybe I misunderstood that. If you're still working on it, do put us down as testers so we can integrate it into DVDpedia. Cheers, Nora [Link] |

| BadKarma Member 110 Posts 11/00 | Posted - Mar 16 2009 : 3:06PM Okay, I was wrong about 'small Macintosh software companies'. At least THIS 'small Macintosh software company'.This is good news. I too need a catalog system for my DVD collection. I was using a PostgreSQL database & PHP, but that's slightly overkill for a DVD collection. If there's good integration with IAFD via a plug-in then maybe DVDpedia is a viable solution. Then the question becomes where do we get the box covers, short of scanning them ourselves? No small job that! [Link] |

| BadKarma Member 110 Posts 11/00 | Posted - Mar 17 2009 : 10:50PM I manually added a dvd (just the title), selected it and did a 'Get Advanced Info for Selection' using the IAFD plug-in. I worked pretty well, bring down the info from IAFD (year, director, cast, etc) and adding it to dvdpedia I tried the same thing with a title that doesn't exist and the plug-in tries but simply doesn't bring back any data. No errors, or untoward results were seen. I'm pleasantly surprised by how well it worked. [Link] |
| Jeff @ IAFD Webmaster IAFD.COM 931 Posts 6/00 | Posted - Mar 21 2009 : 1:50AM With a SOAP based lookup, the layout is taken out of the equation... but, in reality, I don't think you have to worry about the layout changing in the next six months... [Link] |

| BadKarma Member 110 Posts 11/00 | Posted - Mar 22 2009 : 1:07AM I don't know if the other dvdpedia plug-ins (e.g. Amazon, IMDB, etc.) use SOAP, or if they just scrape the screen too? They provide a plug-in SDK and a 'starter plug-in' to get developers started. My guess is if you want a plug-in using SOAP its going to be a 'do-it-yourself' proposition.I want them to track the studs that can beat-off with no hands! I [Link] |
