Thats the problem - I am downloading the index,, and loading into a DB so I can run searches and such.
But for every title I have to:
1 - insert the new title, id and year
2 - check if i have already captured each genre, and if not insert,
3 - and in either case get the genre ID to link to title ID.
The inserts across 7 tables is taking a looooooong time ( a few hours). (titles, genres, formats, persons, and 3 assoc. tables)
I thought it would save a ton of time if I could just load all genres and actors first, and the run selects for the ids knowing they already exist, and I dont need to worry about duplicates.
Sorry i got two posts confused - that last response was meant for - http://developer.netflix.com/forum/read/29269#comment-63309.
I am nearly complete on my php managed index searching by genre, format and people. The biggest hurdles are data load performance.
** Also if anyone is a mysql wiz, I would love some help with the query code. My results right now are limited to the parameter searched.
ie a search of http://netflix.mydomain.org/query.php?genre=Comedy
only returns the genre comedy details, and leaves out other genres,persons and format details. I need assistance wit hte join syntax to pull it all back.
Hi,
I got stuck up in using a URL for the following search result.
1. Need Url to search movies/Tv shows by genre (it tried catalog/titles/index, but got error message "ReadResponse() failed: The server did not return a response for this request. ")
2. Need Url to list tv shows alone (catalog/titles/ give only movie result but not tv shows.)
3. Url to get new arrivals
Please anybody have any idea/solution do let me know.
1. The error you got was due to a problem on our side. It appears to be fixed, since I'm able to pull a copy of the catalog index.
2. Unfortunately, we don't provide a way to get just TV shows (or any specific genre) with the current API.
3. You can pull new arrivals from the RSS feeds. (http://rss.netflix.com/NewReleasesRSS)
I am looking for some collaboration to fill out a solution that allows searching by genre, actor or format. The resulting solution will be shared for open use.
The new release RSS feed link you provided saved much of my time.
1. From the catalog search, currently im filtering the DeliveryFormat which has only "instant" value for each search result. This is really time consuming and hits the performance of my application. Any other option available to get the catalog search result which has only "instant" Delivery format?
2. How to hide the "Back to browser" button when streaming the video?
3. Cant able to seperate movies and series from the new release RSS link The http://rss.netflix.com/NewReleasesRSS
1. The current version doesn't provide a way to filter search results for disc or instant watch. The next version of the API will address that.
2. We ask that you do not modify the appearance or behavior of the streaming presentation window.
3. Unfortunately, no. The New Release RSS stream only includes newly available titles, regardless of format or form. The next version of the API will allow for you to make multiple requests in one call which should allow you to get additional title information.
For my question no. 1 ( From the catalog search, currently im filtering the DeliveryFormat which has only "instant" value for each search result. This is really time consuming and hits the performance of my application. Any other option available to get the catalog search result which has only "instant" Delivery format?), i got a solution from your response in thread http://developer.netflix.com/forum/read/45647, i.e, using expand query string. Now in my first request of my catalog search itself i got all basic details of the movie. The URL looks like this http://api.netflix.com/catalog/titles/?expand=synopsis%2Ccast%2Cdirectors%2Cformats%2Clanguages%20and%20audio&term=Aasai&start_index=0&max_results=3 (may be useful for someone else)
Is there something like 'expand' in new release rss request url to make filtering?
Is there any option available to call the API to fetch Most popular videos? or something to be done in the URL http://api.netflix.com/catalog/titles to get Most popular videos.
We have various RSS feeds of Top 25 (per category) and top 100 movies on http://www.netflix.com/RSSFeeds I don't believe we publish the top Watch Instantly titles yet. I'll check into it and see if we can add a stream for that.
Thanks for your feedback. I have this URL http://www.netflix.com/NewWatchInstantlyRSS to get new videos which can be instant streamed, now i badly in need to get instant stream movies and series seperately.

Hi Conlin,
