(Changes from release 0.1.7c)

32-BIT JRE NOW REQUIRED!

Do to issues found with JNotify and 64-bit JRE, It is now required to have a 32-bit JRE to run Movies by CraigWorks. This was always a requirement to run the application as a service but now it is also required to run using start.bat.

Remote Controller

Fix small issue with retrieving remote movie commands from server. In certain cases jQuery would run amock. Solved this by increasing the time between remote movie command calls which prevented jQuery from returning success on ajax calls erroneously.

Documentation

Added ReadMe.html page to distribution.

Movie/Person Details Page

When page first loads, prevent external links dialog from showing at the bottom of the page.

Settings Page

Added "Access Media Through Server" settings in the "player.vlc" tab. If this setting is set to "Yes" the server passes to VLC a URL instead of a file system path. The main advantage is that remote client computers do not have to have access to the media file. Only the server requires direct acces. If this setting is set to "No" (pre 0.1.8 behavior), VLC is passed the file system path. Remote client computers must have access to this path to play movies. Default is set to "No."

Known issues: Some file formats may not work through the http protocol (i.e. certain audio tracks) and subtitles in separate files (e.g. <file>.srt) are not supported yet.

Added "Release Date Country" settings in the "General" tab for the Default display (see Import section below for when this is used).

Added new "media" tab that allows entering media file directories and valid extensions. Internally the system will use this information to keep track of all media files. The directories will be monitored for any file changes in order to keep the internal file list up to date.

Once the media files locations are setup, file fields in the "Movie Modify Page" will have autocompletion.

Maintenance

Modified "Update file locations" job to use media file locations from settings page.

Media Player

Fix issues with position/volume slider not detecting mouse-up event especially in FireFox 4.
Fix styling issues on IPAD.

Import

Import "Movie Release Date" from IMDB. Use the "Release Date Country" setting to determine which country's release date to import.
If the release date for that country is not found, the earliest release date and country will be extracted.

The release country will appear next to the release date on the detail page.

Enable importing movie by UPC Code. The system will lookup a movie by UPC code from DVDempire.com. If found, the "video release date", title, year, and cover art will be extracted. The extracted title/year will be used to import data from the other scrappers.

The UPC Code is shown on the detail page.

Update common sense scrapper to work with new site changes.

Technical

Upgrade jQuery to 1.6
