New DVD Film site

Hi, i've added the improved NZB searching. There are 3 different types of search, they rank in accuracy, with FILEname being the best and TITLEname being the least accurate. I know it would be easier to just host the NZB's but i have no cash for legals ;)

If you have any other feature suggestions/improvements just let me know and ill see what i can do.

Cheers.
 
OK, I hate to ask but what happened? The site has been down for a couple days now, hopefully not a permanent loss..... BTW, I've never noticed any donate links on the site, otherwise I would have. The indexing on dvd-spider is THE BEST, thanks.
 
Balix, i have managed to get the info you want for each release - i am able to pull out the region, rip source, format and audio type (if/when available). However, how and where should i display all this?! :w00t:

If i add up to another 4 bullet points for each film, its gonna get more bloated than Dawn French on a pie binge. I could have collapsable divs that hide the info before you click it, but i think it might all get a bit confusing.

Any ideas most appreciated! Oh, and i found a bug with the way the top films were being counted so it wasnt accurate - i have blitzed that and cleaned it up, so those will start to populate properly from now on :)

Cheers
 
hi, a few updates. ive added a comments plugin to all films now. it will show an imdb user comment where available and allow you to comment on the film as well.

also, i finally got round to writing a full guide on how to download all these films, so check out the help section for that.

:beer:
 
hi all, after a lot of requests, i have plugged into opensubtitles so, in the links section for each movie there is now a "Subtitles" link which points to a load of .srt files.

there is a whole range of subtitle languages available, so hopefully that will help you out.

more to come... :)
 
Hi all,

Some updates for you:

Upgraded the database and re-spidered all films picking up more information.
You can now view the extended plot synopsis for each film (if available).
Loads more nfo's indexed.
Added a new NFOname NZB search - very reliable.
Genre search improved, now searches all sub genres

More to follow :-)

Ok, HD-DVDs are now indexed, enjoy!
 
Yeah, what happened? I love the indexing system of dvdspider...Makes it so much easier...Hope it is not a permanent loss :-(
 
Hi, ive been adding more stuff to the site. Two decent additions, the first being the multiple release search. By each film title you will now see a folder search icon:
folder_find.png


By clicking this, it will automatically search for all the releases for your chosen film, in its chosen format. Its a handy features cos i always like to compare all the available releases for a film i like the look of to make sure i get the best copy :)

The second, smaller feature is just a big dirty listbox on the right hand side which allows you to quickly view every film thats available in the chosen format. Nice and simple way of trawling through all the films.

More features to be added soon...

I've got some suggestions for the your website:

Limit the number of posts displayed on the front page, it causes the whole site to feel 'slow'. Or make sure the youtube script that loads the trailer suggestions is not showed on the main page. I think that slows the whole site down a lot and overall causes poor user experience. At least that's the most obvious thing I noticed upon first glance.

Also get a less popular css design, you website looks just like a lot of other kinds of websites that use the same free css template. If you can find someone to design a unique one just for your website would be best. If I were you I'd do it myself, although I'm no designer, I would get inspiration from or significantly redesign an available template so that it looks unique and more suitable to your specific type of website.

SEO-wise:

Make dynamic title and meta tags, specific to every movie. You could include the genre or one or two the main actors/actresses. This will definitely help in distinguishing posts, as right now the only thing that makes them different is the movie title.

You could scrape movie info (your page content) from multiple websites, not just imdb - this will give you more unique individual pages that will have a higher chance of not ending up in the Google supplemental index. And believe me that's the last place you want to have them.

That's it for now, hope I've helped.
