The Boys (2006) 6 issues at DC/Wildstorm, 64 at Dynamite subsequently as GCD correctly states. However Mylar says: 2012-09-25 22:54:01 WARNING No matching result found for The Boys (2006) in the log. Although in search, you can select The Boys (2006) with 68 issues apparently. |
|
Sorry, that was very perfunctory and businesslike - I suppose this is the issues thread after all!. Just wanted to add, though, what a great job I think you're doing here - Mylar already looks like the real deal, and I for one am looking forward to seeing it develop even further as time goes by. Any chance you'll consider a plugin that integrates it directly into ComicRack? |
|
No worries - thanks much for the comps! I'm hoping I can make it all work smoothly, but it's definitely a work in progress! I'm not against a plugin for ComicRack although in doing so I'd have to probably develop an api for it - and atm that's on the back burner just because I wanted to get alot of other stuff working before I started on that. Here's the good news: I figured out a way to get The Boys to match, grab issue information and load in without any errors. It requires hard-coding atm (meaning I'd have to enter in the necessary data for it work, but once entered it shouldn't have to be altered after), but it looks like it'll do it dynamically. I also just added 617 issues of Fantastic Four with no problems (well aside from some issue # problems, but that's more so about how they published some of the volumes). I'm just doing a little more testing atm on it - because it required abit of a rework of the actual importing of a comic and I want to make sure I didn't break something else (cause it's pretty easy to do with this). |

Hey just been checking this out the last few days and its all kinds of awesome! thanks for all your hard work in making this happen! having an issue with the following comic WARNING No matching result found for Danger Girl/G.I. Joe (2012) the comics.org page is here http://www.comics.org/series/68194/ |
|
Can't wait for Fantastic Four and The Boys. Thanks! |

Insufferable: No results |
|
|
While Insufferable looks cool - I can't get it into Mylar currently, as it's not listed in ComicVine or in comics.org. A comic has to be listed in at least one of those before I can try to get it to work properly I'm afraid. |
|
That totally makese sense! Thank you. |

Having issues with Amazing Spider-Man and the Ultimates books: Ultimate Comics Ultimates, Ultimate Comics Spider-Man, Ultimate Comics X-Men. |

Wow - I had totally forgotten about spidey in my testing. It brings to light an issue that could pose a real problem going forward with comics that have been in print a very, very long time or has gone through several reboots with the same name. In my testing, I have it currently working so that if a comic has gone through say 4 reboots (v1 - v4), as long as the numbering doesn't overlap - meaning it's continual from volume to volume it will merge them all into one listing in Mylar. Problem happens when say v1, v2 of a comic are in order, v3 starts at Issue #1, and then v4 begins at #500 (which is basically v1+v2+v3) - or worse if there's absolutely no ordering. So basically I'm tinkering around with giving the users the ability to choose how to 'watch' them in Mylar. Either merge all the comics (if possible) into one listing (so in Spidey's case it would be like 698 issues), or ask the user which version of Spidey they want to watch (with specs on each version obviously to make it easier). Any ideas/comments/opinions on which would be best ? |
|
Either way I think we'd all be very happy! But for me, personally, I'm usually jumping onto a title because of fresh talent: example, Jonathan Hickman's run on Fantastic Four. So I'd be happy just choosing a current or recent run of a long running title. One thing is for sure, I think the current comic media business model is reboot, reboot, reboot, for the foreseeable future. |

No luck with adding Spawn so far. could it be the comic id links to the wrong URL? http://comicvine.com/volume/4937 is wrong while the number 4937 is right |
|
Hi, I'm having problems adding these two comics: No matching result found for Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Spike (2012) I'm on Version: aa23a66 Thanks. |
|
Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon |
|
Here's a list of books that it's saying don't exist (note most of these are DC digital only except Spiderman ones obviously and Superman Grounded and Batman Incorporated) |
Guardians of the Galaxy: Realm of Kings 2010 1 Add this Comic |
|
Not able to find Ultimate Comics X-Men or Ultimates as above, but also Wolverine and the X-Men. But beyond the little bugs, awesome work! |
|
Aside from the Digital comics, Sailor Moon and the Guardians of the Galaxy - the problematic comics should be all able to be added to Mylar now in latest commit 964338f |
|
Thanks for the updates, I'm afraid I'm still having problems with Spike and BPRD though. The log is saying: 2012-10-16 21:51:15 INFO Sucessfully retrieved details for B.P.R.D.: Hell on Earth - The Return of the Master But the comic details pages aren't being populated. I'm just getting: Comic ID: 51382 (None) and Comic ID: 51622 (None) |
|
Sorry, my mistake. Both Spike and BPRD adding now. It was a combination of capitalisation differences and directory permissions. |
|
Thanks for the awesome program! I do have a couple that won't add: Dial H (2012) - The Fury of Firestorm: The Nuclear Men (2011) - |
|
You can disregard my message. I figured out the exceptions.csv file and got those added, then it worked after that. Thanks! |
|
beat me to the punch - glad you got them added :) |

Marvel Now Preview: http://www.comicvine.com/marvel-now-previews/49-53588/ (Also A+X 53535 but someone reported that in a separate thread) |
|
Hey there, I'm having some problems adding All-New X-men & the new Deadpool. Any Ideas? |
|
Easy enough fix for All-New X-men & the new Deadpool....use the custom_exceptions.csv file to map it to the correct ones and it'll work fine. Off hand I don't have the #'s but add it in the following format: |
|
Apparently I'm doing this custom_exceptions.csv file wrong. I still can't find any of these titles on a search. NM. For some reason the example file is adding a trailing comma after each line. I remove it and it worked. |
|
yeah your format was/is wrong - the ',' is the delimiter in the csv which would throw off the importing sucessfully :) |
|
The commas were put there automatically when I edited it in Excel. Notepad ftw. |
|
Soulfire: Dying of the Light Mylar logs show this error: It also keeps showing that error even after putting this in my custom_exceptions.csv and reloading Mylar: Soulfire: Dying of the Light (2005) - multi volume errors1,18387,none,17893/42798 FYI: that 42798 I just put in there, it's the brazilian panini translation of the same English series. |
|
Yeah that one is abit weird - because the issue counts don't match up, Mylar is saying that it should be a multi-volume which is why it keeps getting thrown in there. I just tried myself, and same thing. The problem is with the underlying data (again)...CV has 6 issues (an issue #0), and GCD has 5 (with no issue #0) - I'm not really sure how to automate this one, because half of the time it's CV that's incorrect and other times it's GCD. By default, GCD will override CV on issue counts simply because a great majority of the time it's caught by the multi-volume exceptions and it will roll through when pointed to the correct series. Doing it in reverse though is alot tricker because you're going from many to one, instead of the other way around which is far easier to code. I'll have to relook at the logistics again (I seem to be always redoing things even a small bit to see where everything can be improved, and there's lots of areas obviously), I was debating at one point that if a series ever made it into the UEC, that it would just drop all relations to the CV, and solely go on the GCD information - but in this case it would be wrong to do that....maybe some kind of option to do a force-overide one way or the other, but again that's really tricky to pull off cleanly. |

Since moving to a single db source, these issues haven't popped up so I'm closing this for now. |
This is probably easier and less frustrating for most - have all the comics that are having problems adding via search be in one thread.
List the comics, with what you see listed for year/# of issues in Mylar when searching. If you want to be proactive, jump to GCD (comics.org) and see what they say for the same title and throw it in here in addition :)
Most likely these will have to be special exceptions in order for the additions to take place successfully.
Thus far these comics are having issues (I know there are more, but can't recall atm):
Fantastic Four (1961) - CV states 517, GCD states 416.
Witchblade (1995) - CV states 162, GCD states 160.
Adventure Time: Marceline Scream Queens (2012) - CV has 'Marceline Scream Queens', GCD has 'Marceline and the Scream Queens'
