Other simple databases for collectors' films and music CD's

JohnDB — Fri, 15 May 2026 11:16:24 +0000

I use and value Filmotech - I use it to keep an inventory of my movies. Input is fast and it is simple to use, with links to many international information sources on films, although I have yet to write a report script. Other collection database movie app's are more complicated because they do more e.g. ripping or other collection types. I am looking for a free or inexpensive, fast, Windows, simple CD music equivalent of Filmotech. Here again many apps do more than I want e.g. buying and selling and so are more complicated. Of course there is discogs, which is fairly simple to use for just keeping an inventory. Possibly there is Koingo's Librarian Pro 8. Again I want simplicity, input to be fast, and an international set of information sources, as well as coverage of different types of music. Any suggestions?

@filmotech Never mind. It´s good to know now, that I am not missing something.

Hi,

Unfortunately I think this will require a wordpress plugin.

Webpublishing

Hi Filmotech and Greetings to everyone here,

I successfully uploaded my filmlist to my existing website. So far so good.

But then I was wondering, if it is possible, to have the film-database "inside my wordpress-theme", with the theme-menue and everything. Right now, I have my filmlist on a seperated, external page that does not has the look of the other pages.

Am I missing something in the configuration, or is this the only way, to have a filmlist published?

Regards
Jo

File Names

When I import the movies on my hard drive, the names appear as still having 1080p, 720p, Documentary, etc. This makes searching for information very difficult. Is there a way of ignoring some words, mass editing some words, either during importing or after importing?

For example, I have this: 2040 2019 Documentary -- when I search TMDB, the entire NAME is 2040 2019 Documentary, and I have to delete everyting after 2040, and then add the year below '2040' - this is very time-consuming.

Answer to: IMDb (TV Series) script not working

@paoloris1 ,Actually, the IMDB scripts haven't been working for over a week now; for the time being, I'm afraid it won't be possible to fix them.

Neon Jack asked: Should it be working now? Because I'm getting the same error. Alternatively, TMDB does list TV series; would it be possible to use that instead of IMDB?

My answer: Pascal is in charge of TMDB;  He once mentioned writing a script for TV series;  I hope he’ll have time to do it. (I’ll remind him by email);  P.S.: I wonder if we’ll still be able to use IMDB (websites are now implementing security measures that weren’t there before).

I am experiencing a similar issue. Despite the scripts being (apparently) updated, searching with IMDb (TV series) often returns an error or, at most, 0 results (the shows I am looking for are actually present on the IMDb archive). Any update on the topic? Thank you!
