Get last version from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=54985
This was aviman_0.9rc2.tar.gz and I had to take also cgi-bin/imdb.pl from the CVS version so I simply just used the CVS snapshot:

cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@avimanager.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/avimanager login
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@avimanager.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/avimanager co -P avimanager

Prepare in 2 dirs:

pages -> /usr/local/share/avimanager/pages
cgi-bin -> /usr/local/share/avimanager/cgi-bin
(and doc/html -> /usr/local/share/avimanager/doc)
mkdir /usr/local/share/avimanager/pages/media
mkdir /usr/local/share/avimanager/pages/subtitles

find . -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;
find . -type f -name "*.pl" -exec chmod 755 {} \;
find . -type f -name "aviman.cfg" -exec chmod 755 {} \;
find cgi-bin/data -type d -exec chmod 777 {} \;
find cgi-bin/data -type f -exec chown www-data:www-data {} \;
find pages/images -type d -exec chmod 777 {} \;
find pages/media -type d -exec chmod 777 {} \;

Edit aviman.cfg

Tuning

I prefer to change default settings when encoding a new movie:

• Default status: burned/original

Status            => [ 10, 'SELECT', 0, 1, 1, 20, 25, 1, '1', $status{all} ], 

• Default Video type: DVD

Video             => [ 14, 'SELECT',    0, 1, 1, 20, 25, 1, '2', \%videotype ],

French translations are sometimes very bad, some fixes in cgi-bin/language/aviman.fr:

I:Who borrowed this movie(s)?                                                                                                                
O:Qui a emprunté ce(s) film(s)?                                                                                                                                           
I: Remind me                                                                                                                                                              
O: Me le rappeler
I:Latest Comments
O:Derniers commentaires
I:Last seen list
O:Derniers films vus
I:Add to last seen
O:Ajout dans les films vus                                                           
I:Not yet voted for                                                                  
O:Votes manquants
I:Logged in user is no owner. Ignoring status                                        
O:L'utilisteur loggué n'est pas le propriétaire. Statut ignoré

And some are missing:

I:Not yet seen
O:Films pas encore vus
I:Requests
O:Requêtes
I:not burned/copy
O:Non brûlés/copies
I:logged in as                                                                       
O:Loggué en tant que
I:Logout
O:Quitter
I:No entry.
O:Pas d'entr.e.

TODO

themes?

No link between "seen" and actual nr of times the movie was seen in the voting field?

• mark as seen -> last sen movie
• vote and say you saw it -> not in the "not seen list" anymore

Transmit translation to french to author

Seems jpg covers are actually gifs
