TmdbInfo 2.7.1

Fixed a problem with the country list for "Where to watch".

This is definitely a must have tool!

Edit: Oh, this is a totally yummy thing. A dream come true. I could spend all day, just browsing around my favorite actors from my favorite movies.

Many thanks! 

Another edit:

Clicked on Alicia Vikander. Heart still pounding. All her pics and info. Astounding work of art! Perhaps a minor request someday: ability to widen the info tab horizontally for a bit easier reading of long text. Whoa, having so much fun with this one!

TmdbInfo 2.9.0

I hadn't planned on releasing a further update to TmdbInfo unless it was for bug fixes, but two things happened to make me change my mind.

First there was mediadogg's comment on the column width. I looked at it, and saw that it really needed to be fixed in order to make the info easier to read.

Then there was a feature that I had tried to implement, but never got to work the way I wanted. But I just happened to test this idea with Microsoft's AI agent, Microsoft Copilot, and it showed me a really elegant solution. So without any further ado, here is Cast gallery, available both for movies and for TV show episodes.

TmdbInfo 2.9.1

Just a small tweak to make TV Show images load faster.

TmdbInfo 2.10.0

I thought I was done with TmdbInfo. I was wrong. I found that when I got a lot of matches on a search for a movie, just Title and Year in the search result wasn't quite good enough. So I added Director and Genres. And just for good measure, I added Genres to TV show results as well.


And now that I could see the genres in the search result, it occurred to me that when searching for some titles that yielded a lot of results, I might want to exclude some genres that I weren't interested in, like Animation and Documentary. But of course I couldn't add an option to exclude just those genres, so I added the possibility to include/exclude any of the genres that TMDb uses. And of course it turned out that TMDb uses different sets of genres for movies and TV shows, so I had to create separate lists for those. When some genres are excluded, the word "Genres" in the header is enclosed in brackets, to remind you that not all results are shown.



When I was looking at the detail record for movies or TV shows, I noticed that I would usually get a list of similar titles. I thought that was cool, so I added a tab for those. Looking  bit closer I noticed that I would usually get a lot of such titles. Often several tens of thousands. The actual search record would only contain the first page of 20 titles, though (phew!) and I could request more pages if I wanted. But I thought 20 titles would be enough. It turns out, though, that TMDb's idea of "similar" is a bit strange. For some of the titles I could see a little bit of similarity, but some titles just made me go "What???." So this wasn't as useful as I had hoped, but seemed more like a semi-random selection of titles. Still, many of those titles piqued my interest and made me look closer at them. So not entirely wasted.

"My Dinner with Andre" is similar to "King Kong"? 

Also, I decided to make a change to how the various windows are opened. The option to keep windows on top wasn't really working the way I had intended. So I changed that. Now you get a choice of opening windows as dialogs (meaning that the latest window opened is the only window you interact with, until you close it), or opening them as individual windows that you can select at will. Just try both variants and see which one you like best. And finally I tweaked the sizing of the windows so they should always be wide enough to show all info.

Now I am done with TmdbInfo. I think ...

Thanks for the latest updates, Gunnar.

Is it just me, or is 'Stay On Top' no longer working, be it with 'dialogs' or without? As soon as I click into the DVDP window, all Tmdb windows are reduced to the taskbar...
