HTTPJolie Version 1.75 Available
In this version of HTTPJolie:
- GSyren updates to the HTTPJolie Command Reference
- HTTPJolie Usage Guide (pdf) updated to include more details on sending commands using TCP
- Bug fixes to the "xml" and "pidlist" commands
- Fixed bug that returned the incorrect set of profiles for any command using &collection="owned"
- Improved the "refresh" command, and added a new parameter &ctrlkey="true" or "false", with "false" being the default. If &ctrlkey="false" (default), the oline profile list is refreshed as an incremental change. If &ctrlkey="true", the entire online profile list file is downloaded. This, as with any other command, can be sent using the command line utility "TCPsend", and thus can be automated using a scheduler program.
This time I remembered to reset the download windows for past orders for your convenience. | Posted: Topic Replies: 113, Topic Views: 36611 |

Do you have any old copies of your PC hard drive? If so, you might be able to get a head start by simply copying images from the old image folder.
By "images", do you mean headshots or cover scans? If you mean head shots, and if you don't mind starting with somebody else's choices, you could take a loo at the Headshot Master Database. Most of your actors will likely be covered, and you can then update or add at you leisure. | Posted: Topic Replies: 4, Topic Views: 6273 |

Well I was able to write some code to do it inside HTTPJolie. That makes it possible to add to any of GSyren's tools, or to automate from a browser or by using the TCPSend command line utility.
Example for partial refresh:
tcpsend "?cmd=""refresh""
Example for full refresh (control key down):
tcpsend "?cmd=""refresh""&ctrlkey=""true"" | Posted: Topic Replies: 87, Topic Views: 27045 |

This discussion has caused me to review the HTTPJolie command "refresh".
Today it does this:
PerformPendingDownloads();
I plan to change it to:
TriggerMenuItem(PluginConstants.FORMID_Main, PluginConstants.MENUID_Form, "Online", "Refresh Online Profile List...");
PerformPendingDownloads();
TriggerMenuItem(PluginConstants.FORMID_Main, PluginConstants.MENUID_Form, "View", "Refresh Collection List");
And I will add an option equivalent holding down the Ctrl key for the first item.
Any comments? | Posted: Topic Replies: 87, Topic Views: 27045 |

I'm not finding information on holding down the Ctrl key. Can someone jog my memory on how that changes things?
Oh I see now, and I guess it was never officially documented. | Posted: Topic Replies: 87, Topic Views: 27045 |

Yeah, but you need to combine the command with Ctrl-down, and I don't see how you can do that through HTTPJolie. But maybe I'm missing something?
Maybe not missing, perhaps overlooking the fact that HTTPJolie is hosted by DVD Profiler internally. There is nothing an external program can do, that HTTPJolie cannot. | Posted: Topic Replies: 87, Topic Views: 27045 |

I was thinking HTTPJolie, not AutoItX. You can send commands over TCPIP using the TCPSend utility that ships with it. TCPSend could be launched with the scheduler.
Or you could schedule the launch of DVD Profiler itself, with the command file option, which would include the menu command for refreshing profiles.
And then there is DVDPFauxAPI and the CommndOnEventGUI which could probably do the same thing based on a database event, such as opening the database.
Lot of toys in the sandbox. | Posted: Topic Replies: 87, Topic Views: 27045 |

Have you seen this post?
Yes, but that was five months ago. Surely something as basic as being able to get profile updates without having to refresh the entire online profile list every time could've been fixed by now. The repeated downloading of that largely-the-same block of data using the CTRL trick actually creates unnecessary traffic for the server.
Well I respect and benefit from your efforts as a major contributor to the database. So if there is anything you think a plugin or tool could do to make things easier for you to do that work, please make the request or suggestion and I promise to do my best as a "tools" guy to do my pert.
There are already tools by GSyren that might be able to help. For example, with his tools, you could schedule the refresh overnight or on whatever schedule you choose. Then you would not have to wait when you are ready to work. | Posted: Topic Replies: 87, Topic Views: 27045 |

I am curious as an experiment. Could you provide the Profile ID(UPC.Locality). We have tools that access the online database internally. It would be interesting if those tools can see pending profiles.
Gunnar if you want to experiment, I think there are a couple of internal commands that I could add to HTTPJolie if the existing ones don't do it. | Posted: Topic Replies: 7, Topic Views: 8876 |
