Version 14.2.0

No Poster (graphic, picture, whatever, main movie page) was found for many movies, even after a full rebuild.
I'll list just a few:

Code: Select all

    Blade_Runner.Theatrical.1982 (but Blade_Runner.Final.1982 was OK)
    Blade_Runner_2049.2017
    Butch_Cassidy_and_the_Sundance_Kid.1968
    Conan_the_Barbarian.2011 (but Conan_the_Destroyer.1984 was OK)
    Crocodile_Dundee.1987 (but Crocodile_Dundee_II.1988 is OK)
    Ex_Machina.2014

My naming convention works for most things, unless I misspell.
Am I spawning too many simultaneous processes when rebuilding?

The player's "Go Back" button ( ".." ) still doesn't work correctly.
For instance, when I click on the movie "Serenity.2005" to see the details, then click ".." to go back to the main screen, I'm placed at the beginning of the movies, not back at "Serenity.2005". This happens on both Chrome and Firefox.

The addition of TMDB accounts is interesting but confusing. I can go to the TMDB site and search, without an account. Why does UMS require me to set up an account? If the TMDB API requires an account, is there a generic account we can use?

Thanks for all the hard work getting v14+ out the door! It's MUCH better.

Some issues may have been down to the API making false matches.

Subjunk found that incorrect matches were being made and I think he tracked down that problem but there may be others.
Also that fix may also have broken some that were matching before, especially if the naming convention is not standard. You can read about it here.
Maybe putting the year of release in brackets could help for files that include a year in its name like Blade_Runner_2049

I attempted to use the TMDB and set up an account then found you needed to fill in a lot of personal details to get the key.
From how I understand this is meant to be used for developers and the program is issued with that key, instead of individual users.
There is also an issue that the key could be stolen from the source code and used by others so this may be one reason the devs did not do this.
There may be ways of protecting this however I do not know the full details.

I think I have had a bit of trouble with the back button before too when I was testing the web interface but just assumed it was me, It is not something I would normally use.
Maybe there is something not quite right with this.
