Cinaest - IMDb Plugin
 
Has anyone managed to get the imdb plugin working in Cinaest?

When I open the app, I can look up current movies through Google search but the imdb database does not download (none of the three servers work for me). I've tried downloading it with different WLANs, so I don't think my internet connection is the problem.

Is there a way to download the imdb database onto my laptop and then copy it to the N900 (what directory does cinaest look for the database?). Or is there another way to get it working?

I would like to get this working too, I have over 1000 movies listed on imdb and I like to add films after I watch them so this would be a great app (is that what it does?)

The IMDB-plugin is still not working properly or? The Google function for the current movies in theatres works fine, but I cant get IMDB-part to run. Anyone more sucessful than me?

I managed to download a local copy of movies from IMDb by going into Settings --> IMDb --> Download.

Now when I go into IMDb from the main screen, I can use the top menu to Filter by year, rating, and genre, which gives me a list of movies that I can add to my Collection.

I can't figure out how to get movie posters for them (there's a setting I've enabled), or extra info for the movie apart from Name, Year, Genre.

I must be really stupid, but I can't figure out how to add my collection to Cinaest. There is no add-alternative, and all I se is "No movies"

Probably the application is in a early alpha version. I also tried all the options, I downloaded the IMBD movie list, but I couldn't get pass the "no movies" message.

If nothing else, there is at least two idiots then, and it feels good not to be alone! :cool:

Just start typing the name of the movie you are interested in to get it to display movies matching the name. You can also go to the menu and change filtering to say 1888-2000 and get the list to display.

No matter what I type, there are no movies showing up. All it says is "No movies"...

I'm getting seriously annoyed with my inability to understand this program. Can someone please teach me ho to add movies to my personal database?

Just downloaded the IMDB database. Then I found that you need to go to the main screen, where you can select your collections. Select IMDB, filter by year - say, 2007 to 2011, then you get a list. Now you start typing on the physical keyboard for the name, find a movie, select it, go to the top of the screen and select "Add to Catalog", choose the Catalog and voilá, you have started to populate your own lists... Hope this helps!

If this is the case, my problem lies in downloading the imdb-list, since I'v tried to do it soooo many times, with no list appearing...

EDIT: I'm now trying again, and when downloading imdb, it gets stucked on "Creating indices..."

I've tried to uninstall Cinaest, then made a reboot and installed it again. The problem is that Cinaest apperantly doesn't uninstall completely, since all my settings (and problems) are the same as before the uninstallment.

Go to the terminal and remove the ~/.cache/cinaest directory:

rm -rf ~/.cache/cinaest

And then run it again. This directory is where it downloads and keeps the imdb-list. Maybe it had a partially downloaded list and was stuck by it.

I don't know where it saves its settings; if it's a gconf database you'd have to download gconf-editor or something like that to delete them.

I removed the database, but after downloading the database again, I only get the same old "No movies"...

sorry for kind of offtopic but where can I get cinaest in first place, can't find it in extras or extras-testing.

Just downloaded this to see if the Movie Showtimes functionality is working. Doesn't seem to be. On first run I got a No Movies screen. Went to settings and set my location and tried again - sat there with a wait cursor for 15 minutes and gave up. Haven't installed imdb data or anything else for it if this is pertinent.

An additional small point: can't help thinking this should be called cineast not cinaest. Am I being particularly anglo-centric or is there a reason for the alternate spelling?

Is there a homepage or bugzilla for this app? Appreciate it is probably in very early stages of development.

cheers
