[RELEASE] Movie Quiz - how well do you know your movie collection?

Let us know when, happy to do a MySQL test here.

I have uploaded the 0.5.1 version of the addon to my beta repository at http://tommy.winther.nu/xbmc/
It's probably easiest to install the repository zip and then let XBMC update the movie quiz and dependencies.

There's only minor changes since 0.5.0 to stabilize things for Eden. I'll start work on improvements soon.
The changelog is
Version 0.5.1 - 2012-04-20
- Fixed problem with New game where score, etc. were not reset
- Use script.module.buggalo for error reporting
- Improve MySQL support for XBMC 11.0
- Improve global highscore loading speed

I found a bug in a fresh install of this addon, the IMDB data download option fails (I dont know if its reported already, but i can't find anything on this thread about it).
The problem is that the .xbmc/userdata/addon_data/script.moviequiz directory don't exist by default; after I create this directory, the download option works OK.

By the way, great add-on (and sorry for my english)

Edit: I forgot the info about my installation. XBMC installed from Ubuntu 12.04 beta2 official repos, addon v0.5.0 installed from XBMC official repo.

Thanks, I'll make sure the folder is created.
It should be created when you start the movie quiz though, but I guess it fails if you download the IMDB data before you run the addon.

Hello,

This addon is amazing !

Unfortunately, it seems that it crashes when it tries to play a sample from a movie or tv show who has special characters in file path.

And I'm french, so most of my movies have special chars in their name.

Here is my log : http://pastebin.com/F3b3Laas

I hope you can fix that so that I can enjoy this game :-)

Thanks Jalil, I will fix it in the next version.
For now you can delete line 101 in C:\Users\Media Center\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\addons\script.moviequiz\quizlib\player.py and you should be able to use the addon.
The line is:
xbmc.log(">> TenSecondPlayer.playWindowed() - about to play file %s" % file)

Hello I just installed the Movie Quiz addon and it looks like a lot of fun !!

Only one problem I detected. When asking the questions the Quiz only uses the information from like five movies !
And there are a couple of hundreds of movies on the drive which it could use.

How can I fix it to use all the info from all the movies available on the harddrive ?

----------------------

Nevermind, I had a thing turned on in the config of moviequiz to only use movies which were seen. And not to use all movies

Movie Quiz auto-update from the repository tonight, script failure; rollback takes me back to a working version.

I'm an MySQL user and the app is completely broken for me - is it meant to be working for us?
I manually keyed in some entries to attempt to fix it a while back in my XML file and now I wonder if they are interrupting my connection? (The MySQL stuff is fixed now isn't it?)

Hi, it seems I completely broken the addon support for Python 2.6. Thanks PatK for the log file.
I'll make a new release as soon as possible. for now you can rollback to the previous version as PatK suggested.

MySQL is supposed to work with Eden. I'm not sure if it works with the Frodo alpha builds or nightly builds.
