TmdbInfo 3.0



This version adds several features. The main part of Television has been re-written.
- You can select which episodes of a TV season to display (and copy for pasting into DVD Profiler). This makes it possible to select episodes for half seasons, or for best-of compilations.
- Default name parsing has been significantly improved.
- Names show by color how they are parsed, similar to DVD Profiler. If the default parsing is incorrect, you can change it, and that parsing will be remembered.

The main purpose of TmdbInfo is still the ability to browse The Movie Database (TMDB) in a useful manner. While it can be used to copy cast and crew for pasting into DVD Profiler, it is not nearly as useful as DJ's CastCrewEdit. BUT unlike CastCrewEdit it is stable, since it doesn't depend on screen scraping. So, if CastCrewEdit isn't working for you, TmdbInfo can be plan B.

And, with both CastCrewEdit and TmdbInfo, you can use the info freely for your own collection, but if you want to contribute it to DVD Profiler's online database, you need to verify it against the actual cast and crew listings on your discs.
My tool CastCrewCheck can be helpful in that regard.

TmdbInfo 3.1.0

Version 3.1 adds the following features:
- Compares cast/crew names to the common name list to see if a common name and a credited as should be added when copying to DVD Profiler.
- A new column has been added to the cast/crew listings, which shows "B" for Birth Year and "C" for Common Name / Credited As.
- Edit name has been added to the context menus to let you change the Birth Year and/or Name + Credited As.

In addition to this, several bug fixes and GUI improvements have been made.
