Identify - Year of birth? is it possible to add it?

[mickle026 401]

Will it all be possible to add a textbox in people identify to send in year of birth to the query? - and also show it in the returned results?

I have an Asian People Provider and there are lots of people with the same names.  its still undergoing testing but its very fast now that i am getting the hang of it

I would like my plugin to be able to tell the difference between people with the same name, and display their year of birth in the search results.
This information already goes in by the automated people lookup (if available), but not by the identify dialog.

On a similar issue , remote search results cannot send back DOB,DOD or Place Of Birth... Can this be added too?

Results for Yoo Ji-Yeon are difficult to tell apart!

There are many like this

Thanks

Hi, it depends on whether or not the metadata providers can search on that.

Yes my own api provider can, but it's not there (the text box) in the identify dialog to use and pass in to the remote search provider interface as shown in the second image in the above post.

 

The metadata interface uses this, but the identify interface has this missing .

 

If it's not used with tvdb or tmdb I understand why it's not there. 

I can add it in the name search as part of the string but would rather have it as a separate field.

Can this be added or enabled somehow?

Also if available shown on the second line of the search results thumbs?

If tvdb and tmdb support it, then yes it can be added.

Its my own api that supports it and maybe? v4 of tvdb api will.  At present tvdb and tmdb don't

ie,

No Year gives array of results

http://media-and-meta.com/API/index.php?ActorType=asian&ActorName=Yoo Ji-Yeon&Format=json

with year gives single result

http://media-and-meta.com/API/index.php?ActorType=asian&ActorName=Yoo Ji-Yeon&Year=1979&Format=json
