Notice to old registered users of Personal Video Database (videodb.info)
All old registered users of Personal Video Database (videodb.info) should register on this forum with the same username and password and a valid email address, so that the moderators know that you were really registered there before.
Others who try to register with some strange usernames will be treated as spam or fake users who write and send spam mail or messages. Also, everyone who has unusual email addresses will be treated the same, especially those who use mainly Russian and similar spam or temporary email extensions for their email addresses.

Hilfe / Scripting manual

Brainstorm / Re: What makes PVD slow?
Last post by afrocuban01 - 1 16 May, 2026, 01:59:01 PMI think PVD is essentially slow because it's a 32-bit app and it cannot work with more than 2GB of memory, so at the very end it will crash when the task needs more than that: for example if you want to change the way images are stored - in or out of PVD, no matter how small images are.
Also, it'll get painfully slow if the amount of characters to a field is huge. Try to import 50k characters into any "memo" field for any movie (and there are cases on IMDb that has huge amount of chars, synopsis page for example), and you'll know what I mean.
So, at some point nothing can help with the slowness, not even converting to some other DB...

Last post by Ivek23 - 8 16 May, 2026, 08:16:50 AMI have changed your email address for your old account "afrocuban" on the alternative PVD forum to your rmail address, where you can receive emails. I will also send a notification to this email address about the change of your email address for your old account.
At the moment I cannot send you the change of user account and password to this email. But if this is done as soon as I can, I will let you know here and to your email address.

Last post by Ivek23 - 1 15 May, 2026, 01:53:00 PMFirst, check if you can already log in, maybe the account has been approved.
Since you registered with a temporary email address, I cannot reset your password. If you sent me your valid email address, I would change the email address and correct the username in your profile, which would reset or change your password as well. You would receive a new username and password to your valid email address as stated below.
If you don't send me your valid email address, you will have to register with a new username and password. This should be your current username plus an extension (like @back or something similar) so that I know it's you for account approval.
And besides, without a valid email address, it's not possible to reset your password by changing your username.
Then the name in your profile that other users or guests of this forum will see can be changed.

QuoteTo change this member's username, the forum must also reset their password, which will be emailed to the member with their new username.

Last post by Ivek23 - 4 14 May, 2026, 04:40:39 PMThanks, now only the afrocuban user has to come back, and maybe the Python (+Selenium) scripts will come back to life, because he made them obsolete. I myself don't know what and how and with what he made and fixed the Python (+Selenium) scripts.
