Re: [Broken for non-US regions] Movie Dates all 01/01/9999 ?

Sorry, I should have thought to ask if My Movies is running on the same PC as CCC (that's what I usually recommend, for best performance).

Since the issue is with the My Movies API (not with CCC), the Short Date needs to be changed on the My Movies PC only.

Re: [Broken for non-US regions] Movie Dates all 01/01/9999 ?

The Collection Management GUI is not representative of how the API works. So to verify the change, you would need to view the GetTitle URL that I had you check yesterday. Look for the <ReleaseDate> tag, same as I showed above. You would need to run the Full Export after verifying the ReleaseDate is ...

Re: [Broken for non-US regions] Movie Dates all 01/01/9999 ?

Fingers crossed, though I'm fairly confident that this will work. By the way, I should have suggested rebooting after making the change. I'm not sure if My Movies will pick up the change without a restart. Sorry I didn't think to mention this. In the mean time, I've been looking at my code. I grab t...

Re: Movie Dates all 01/01/9999 ?

My best guess is that CCC is observing your PC's regional settings, so YYYY-MM-DD, while My Movies is ignoring them, so MM/DD/YYYY. I would have to do more research to confirm, but first impressions are probably spot on. If that's happening, then that date format mismatch would explain why the disc ...

Re: Movie Dates all 01/01/9999 ?

Got them, thanks.

Just to confirm, this was with your short date format set to Canadian YYYY-MM-DD?

Don't click the "View Export Log" button. The extra lines are only displayed in the live log window, below the buttons.

Re: Movie Dates all 01/01/9999 ?

Yes, I believe changing the short date format to mm/dd/yyyy will solve this. You'll probably need to do another full export. It's been a while since I've worked on this aspect of the code, so I'm a bit foggy as to whether this is a known issue, requirement, or something I haven't seen before. I do r...

Re: Movie Dates all 01/01/9999 ?

Where-abouts are you located in the world? (Country?) What are the Windows date/time settings on both your CCC PC and your CMC PC? If the date format is different than standard US, it might trip up the logic. For example, here are mine here in the USA, the most important being the Short Date, MM/DD/...

Re: Movie Dates all 01/01/9999 ?

The Stars rating is My Movies global data. I'm not sure if it comes from the Movie (likely) or the Disc Title data. I cannot find it in the GUI anymore. It might import from behind the scenes, based upon the IMDB #, but I really don't know exactly how My Movies gets this global value if it isn't ent...

Re: Movie Dates all 01/01/9999 ?

01/01/9999 is a hardcoded value in CMC, used to indicate when the date is missing. This was quite common in the early days of CMC, when we used the My Movies XML files as the data source. The date made it easy to sort all titles by the date, bringing all the problematic titles to the front so you co...
