Misc / Fixes (v1.4.0-b4)

The IMDB entry detection (Media Hoarder trying to find the correct IMDB entry for a movie / tv show based on its name and release year) can fail due to different circumstances. Until now, Media Hoarder did not show errors prominently enough.

• SCRAPER: during the phase of IMDB entry detection, if something fails, the error will be stored in the scraper errors

Misc / Fixes (v1.4.0-b2)

• UX: only load filters that are actually shown
  • reload filters when "edit filters" is done (only reload those filters that have changed visibility from false to true)
• FIX: series/movies filters are not stored when switching to movies/series and back
  • related bug: switching movies <> series may lead to 0 media items, even when pressing reload button
• FIX: clicking on plot keyword in "find plot keyword dialog" does nothing
• FIX: hide items in dialogs that have 0 media (e.g. plot keywords for movies that can only be found in series)
• FIX: prevent filtering and highlighting of searchText in Episodes listing
• DECISION: bring back filters for episodes?
  • NOT NOW! this introduces more problems than solutions
• FIX: include description text in search space

• SCRAPER: Update Plotsummary IMDB Scraper Test

v1.3.37-a7

Features (v1.3.37-a7)

• UX/SCRAPER: use imdb-graphql-urls.json (also try to fetch them from master in github, this way we can update the urls if imdb changes them - without creating a new release)

  • https://raw.githubusercontent.com/theMK2k/Media-Hoarder/master/src/data/imdb-graphql-urls.json

• UX/SCRAPER: propagate actual errors of imdb scraping to the test result (i.e. errors in graphql querying instead of $IMDB_something is NULL)

Features (v1.3.37-a6)

Series: Media Property Dialog

• FEAT: make series clickable and expand to episodes listing for the selected series, show affected number of episodes vs. total number of episodes
• UX: remove the episodes section (in favor of episodes sections for all listed series)

Series: IMDB Rating Dialog

• FEAT: IMDB Rating heatmap like https://whattowatchon.tv
  • make medialist item card a shared component (now used in medialist as well as SeriesIMDBRatingDialog)main list "jumps" and THEN reloads with the filter applied (possibly a fix for another issue)
  • prevent certain activities while in IMDB Rating Dialog mode

• UI: fix z-index for other dialogs on top of the SeriesIMDBRatingDialog

• UX: globally track MediaPropertyDialog's visibility in order to allow closing of SeriesIMDBRatingDialog on outside-click if MediaPropertyDialog is not open

Misc / Fixes (v1.3.37-a4)

• UX: MediaList: store currentPage for Movies, Series and Episodes (episodes in tbl_Movies.Series_currentPage)
• UX: MediaList: optimize fetchSortValues before fetchFilters
• SCRAPER/UX: findIMDBtconst for episodes:
  • tt* override
  • by season and episode numbers

v1.3.37-a3

Misc / Fixes

• UX: unlink IMDB on series: also unlink all episodes, which
  • don't have the tt* as part of their file name
  • haven't been user-set tt* (do we even track this?)
