@Memtronic
I am very sorry.. I've been incredibly worn down over the last couple of days. I missread what you had written. I am incredibly grateful to you for the ability to use the stars. (And so is rusty who has been sent my card on request). I would offer my card as one of the downloadable ones but as it is almost entirely your work I did not feel this would be right.
Once again my most sincere appologies. |

@Akira
have you downloaded the moviecards from SpaceAce ?
Things like that = we ever will accept!
Example:
"Original design by PurpleBytes"
"Aditions / enhancements / colors / whatever by XXX"
But is it really that hard TO SHOW RESPECT to other peoples work?
@Pie Master
"This is true..... he has been working ALL day fixing computers which shouldnt have to be fixed."
=> following this = you know each other!? (don't tell me that YOU are Akiras' little brother ...hehe)
so long...

@Akira
READ CAREFULLY:
"Original design by PurpleBytes"
"Aditions / enhancements / colors / whatever by XXX"
As long as the original designer / author / whatever IS mentioned...
EVERYTHING IS ABSOLUTELY OK!!!
...and if you have changed something...
I URGE EVERYBODY to mention that HE has changed this or that!!!
(don't want to be blamed for bad color-picks ...hehehe)
I personally RESPECT other peoples work as long as they respect mine!

"I am afraid of a youth growing up who knows the price of everything...
but not the value of anything."

I grew up with "The One" = an english (the best of course) AMIGA-MAG!
...had all over the years good contacts to english coders...
...still have some friends in London...
...and now it seems (to me) having one more contact to the UK! (without knowledge at first)
but enough offtopic now...
so long...

@MemTronic
I'm surprised to ear you so fussy about legality and respect of other's intellectual property.
What EMM does is ripping data from IMDb and other sites, without showing the ads that make them live, and overloads their servers with such things as "massive download". What kind of licence package did you buy from them ? Bronze, gold or platinum ? None, of course ! Did you even get in touch with IMDb staff ? I know you didn't !
I prefer not to talk about the Divx part: very few people use this format in complete compliance with the law.
EMM is far beyond the fringes of legality, and your users are paying 10$ for something that may be banned, overnight, by justice court decision. |

Hi,
I must specify a thing : "Ripping" movie information is not a crime. The Staff of IMDB agree this kind of thing : they only want that we write "where" scripts takes information (and this is done because the name of script start with IMDB etc...), so please don't write that this is not a "legal" thing.
For example : if you want see some information for a movie that you haven't on your collection you will not add it into XMM and import info, you simply go to IMDB and look for it.
As you can see, all movie managers import information from IMDB because is legally!
About Divx : this is another thing, of course few people use this in compliance with the law, but you cannot say that we "break the law", because this is absolutely not true.
What can you say about software that in few step can make DVD->DIVX conversion? or software that can reproduce CD->MP3? or software that CLONE DVD? as you should know, these software are absolutely legally!
XMM is only a movie manager, for personal use only.
So please don't write things that you don't know like that our users pay for a not-legally software.

@John Coleman
"I prefer not to talk about the Divx part: very few people use this format in complete compliance with the law."
=> In GERMANY and UK (of course) we have currently a court-decision
__ made by EU-Laywers!!!!
__ This decision contains the following:
1. "Every OWNER of a legally bought DVD or other media IS ALLOWED to make COPIES for OWN use and EVEN ALLOWED to give up to 5!!! COPIES away to friends WHEN he does NOT TAKE MONEY FROM THEM!!!!!!!!"
2. "EVERYBODY is ALLOWED also to make COPIES from DVDs or other media he has LENT FROM A VIDEO-RENTAL!!!!! ...BUT this ONLY FOR PRIVATE USE! = NO COPIES TO FRIENDS!"
"EMM is far beyond the fringes of legality, and your users are paying 10$ for something that may be banned, overnight, by justice court decision."
=> eMM is made by EUROPEANS for EUROPEANS (mainly)!!!
__ eMM FULLY fits the EUROPEAN LAWS!!!
__ @ALL = THIS is one reason to NOT make HTML-DB "Shoppable" !!!
EVERYBODY outside EU = use it at your own risk! ...EVERYBODY should know WHAT he is doing and should know WHAT rights he has in his country!!!
so long... and it really seems = WITHOUT ME (in this forum) A LOT OF PEOPLE CAN'T LIVE!!! ...hehehe

Ok, after this is subject has been discussed quite exhaustingly, I try to get back to my question;-)
How come, I can put DVDID, VHSID, but not BOXID in a custom moviecard?
Or what is the name for the variable to do this? I can sort all the movies by BOXID, so I should be able to list it on the right side?
Thanks,
Randy |
