InsertMovie

Intro

insert a movie into the database


Description

struct InsertMovie(string $token, struct('moviename' => string $moviename, 'movieyear' => string $movieyear) $movieinfo)

Allows registered users to insert new movies (not stored in IMDb) to the database.

Guidelines for implementation:

  • when loading a movie first try to auto-detect IMDb ID from .NFO files accompanying the release.
  • when uploading without IMDb ID user enters a movie title (and year) first call SearchMoviesOnIMDB().
  • If this returns no matches and user checks that the movie doesn't exist on IMDb, allow to insert a new movie using this function.
  • this needs to be done to avoid duplicates.

Parameters

struct(
  (string) [token],
  struct(
    (string) [moviename],
    (string) [movieyear]
  ) [movieinfo]
)
token

movieinfo (required)

  • moviename: movie title
  • movieyear: release year

Return Values

  (string) [seconds]
)

and contains these elements:

status
