I really like these HTML sections, but wonder if it would be possible to allow the first episode to have the number "0", for pilot episodes where the next episode is occasionally numbered "1".


I actually found the place that triggers the episode listing and changed the condition from <= 0 to < 0.

This is a step in the right direction, since the episodes are now shown, however without episode 0 for cast that is in multiple episodes. Cast that is in episode 0 only is shown with a blank episode list.

edit: I sorted this out, two more minor changes required.

Just noticed that in the new release of DVDP (3.60), Cast+ works still works satisfactorily.
However, Crew+ now only works for a few roles, the others disappeared.

More specifically, this does not work for the groups Direction, Cinematography and Film Editing. Apparently the internal references have been changed, but I can't guess into what..

Also, Writer and Music are sometimes incomplete.

edit: It is actually even more complicated. Crew without dividers shows fine, crew with unnumbered dividers doesn't decode the dividers properly, and crew with numbered dividers shows some kind of subset (sometimes zero) of the data. I can't find any structure in the latter, so can't debug either.

And unfortunately, Goodguy is no longer with us to help us sort this out. Anybody else have an idea?

The problem - as far as I investigated it - is that the first crew member after a divider (I've only tested with multi-episode profiles) is ignored. This is because of a missing delimter in the raw format of the DP Tags after the episode-divider-line - the first name directly follows the divider line.

Because of a lack of understanding the DP Tags, I'm not able to correct the misbehaviour at its root.

But I can suggest a very, very, very dirty solution to work around - two additional lines in the "multi-episode" handling of the createCredits function:

...
    } else if (bEpisodes) {
      // Divider in multi-episode mode. Just get episode number
      k = parseInt(sz, 10);
      if (!isNaN(k) && k > 0) nEpisode = k;
aEntries[i] = sz.substring(sz.indexOf("<A HREF=\""));
i--;
    } else {
      // Divider in normal mode
      o = { isDivider: true };
...

Everybody is most welcome to post a better solution or at least a documentation of the attributes of the DP Tags...
