Chapter 6 - Importing Data

AviManager stores data in a file called movie.db. Please open this file now if you want to import data. You need to get your old database into this format (see aviman.cfg, Preference Question 7 for details). You probably have no IMDb numbers, so you must get them. Please contact me, and I will help you...

Ok, now you think you have a valid movies.db? Please check this with the script show_db.pl (in tools/cgi)!

Now you get an html-table with the database. If everything looks good, it is time to get the IMDb data like plots, cover, actors, genre, year and runtime. The script update_votes.pl can do this. To test it with 5 movies, start the script with following parameters: http://www.yourserver.com/cgi-bin/aviman/update_votes.pl?start_number=1&count=5&actors=1&cover=1&plot=1&genre=1&year=1&runtime=1. Start aviman.pl and go to one of these movies. Everthing ok? Then start the script without start_number and count!

Please help to improve this HOWTO/Importing!
