[SOLVED] Import from IMDB Not Working

<< < (3/22) > >>

rick.ca:
We're not trying to have an argument with you. The fact you're having a problem no one else is suggests it has something to do with your system or configuration.

You posted a log which indicates nothing is being downloaded. Now you're saying you see a clear indication that downloading is occurring in the status bar. Those things should be showing up in the log. Is it still showing nothing after the first GET statement?

What skin are you using? Have you tried refreshing after a download? Are all fields checked in Preferences - Movies - Visible items?

Chummy:
Here's a snippet of the log from an attempt to access the IMDB for the film HUD. Again, it matters not the title. None work any longer with this plug-in.

In comparing this to the code posted above the plug-in appears to be halting after making this initial contact and logging in, but before it proceeds with GETting the keywords, etc.

It may mean I'm the only PVD user who is reporting the problem.

What I've said is that the log shows what it does, as noted above.  I've also said since the beginning that the status info at the bottom of PVD shows that some data is being downloaded, the info shows this also as x KB for example, but nothing is actually entering the PVD database. 

Please see the above post for the log snippet re: what the log shows after the first GET statement.

Before posting I also tried using different skins, again anything to resolve the glitch before I reached out to others to report the problem.  I haven't changed the skin since I started using PVD, either, the PVD Alternate Zskin.

All fields are checked, yes, I believe as noted above in an earlier post of mine.  Yes, I've tried refreshing after a download, tried restarting PVD, still to no avail.

..and another stab at importing from IMDB, this snippet from the PVD log..

The plug-in stops its work here.  All that is added to the respective film title is the IMDB url for that film.  I don't believe security settings, firewall, etc. would allow a portion of a script to work and block the remainder, or actually work to halt the script from proceeding further.

Chummy:
Something else to consider --

Checking just now, I added some films on 7/19/10, and all was well.  The latest IMDB plug-in is dated 7/22/10.  I believe I updated to its latest version around the end of July.  All film titles in my collection prior to this update include IMDB data.

Since updating all that I can access from IMDB is, as I've written, the url of the respective film title.
