Hi Gunnar, further testing went fine - no problems arose.

One question to further simplify picture-grabbing, as I believe the overall quality of pictures to be better than in the IMDb: Is it possible to mark cast and crew with a small symbol in the 'movie cast and crew' window, when they feature a portrait in the Tmdb? When you have a long list with many entries, that would reduce the time as you would just need to click on the person where the 'Person' window is opened with a portrait to compare with your own.

I was wrong. Or if I were a politician, I would say "I overestimated the difficulty". No, wait, politicians rarely overestimate difficulties, they underestimate them. But I digress ...

Adding the info that TraunStaa asked for wasn't as slow as I thought. I forgot that when I  download the personal info, I don't actually download the portrait, just the URL for the portrait. So there wasn't nearly as much data as I thought. So now there is a new checkbox in Settings that says "Flag names that have portraits". If you check that, you will get a new column in cast and crew that says Pic if there is a portrait for that person in their Person window. This column will be updated in the background, so it will not slow down the time it takes to open a Movie / TV window.

While using TmdbInfo I have noticed that here are some jobs in Tmdb that didn't make it into the original Jobmap. If you install TmdbInfo for the first time, you'll get an updated job map. But if you have already used TmdbInfo, you have two options:

1) Go to %appdata%\Gunnar Syrén\TmdbInfo2 and delete TmdbMapping.json. The new default job map will be created there.

2) If you have already made changes to the job map, edit the job map manually (from the Options menu).
I have identified the following jobs that might be needed:
Art/Art Direction
Art/Production Design
Costume & Make-up/Costume Designer
Costume & Make-up/Wardrobe Designer
Costume & Make-up/Key Makeup Artist
Editing/Supervising Film Editor
Editing/Film Editor
Sound/Song
Sound/Sound Editor
Sound/Sound Mixer (= Production Sound Mixer ???)
Sound/Sound Supervisor
Writing/Book

I assume that you can figure out how these should be entered in DVD Profiler.
The problem with mapping jobs from Tmdb to DVD Profiler is that Tmdb doesn't standardize job titles. They seem to take whatever the job is called in the actual credits. So, you may well find more jobs that need to be added to the job map.

Me again, Gunnar.

I noticed, when comparing the cast from the plug-in with the website, that not all actors are fetched (i.e. the 'uncredited ones'). For example on the movie 'The Man from Bitter Ridge' (1955) it's eleven cast members on the plug-in vs. twenty-two on the website.

Do you see a possibility that the plug-in mines all of them, Gunnar?

Thanks for looking into it!

TmdbInfo 2.5.0

New in Settings: Allow uncredited cast.
There is also a new setting for the delay when you click the Letterboxd button. Read about it in the help file.

TmdbCheck, huh? I'll look at it. You're a hard man to please, TraunStaa!   

Thanks TraunStaa!

The same would be, of course, also invaluable for TmdbCheck

Just what did you have in mind? TmdbCheck already shows uncredited.

TmdbInfo 2.5.1

Fixed a bug in formatting cast/crew names that contain quotation marks, when copying for DVD Profiler.
