[SOLVED] Import from IMDB Not Working
rick.ca:
--- Quote ---I hadn't noticed that every single one of them is, but now that I know, maybe I'll just install the ones I like as scripts and uncheck them in TweakMDb (which I already did for IMDb Movie Collection Manager), as there can sometimes be a significant delay for new versions of addons to make it through the approval process, although its safer to wait.

While it seemed convenient at first, I stopped using TweakMDb once I realized I couldn't tell what version of the underlying scripts it was using. Maybe the scripts are installed normally and just managed by the plugin—so they can be updated independently, but I could be bothered trying to figure out how it worked.

I can't reproduce it because PVD works 99% of the time.

Run the program with the -debug switch—so that when it does happen, it will be captured in the log.
Changing your login to see if it fixes a 1% error is probably pointless. It might be worth trying if the error rate increases to something that would make the affect (if any) noticeable.

Ah... an *interesting* problem :)
I'm still experiencing the same behaviour (after the latest update today) - works until fails, restart then works, repeat. So consistent from my perspective!
Is there some way to get previous versions of the IMDB import plugin to try out (as some posters here have mentioned that previously it just worked)? A diff on the source code between these versions (if that were the case) could be interesting.
As you've mentioned, the changed/changing feed from IMDB may be the culprit, but it doesn't gel with a restart of PVD always making the import work first time.
In any case, I'm now a 4 day old newbie user of PVD and am finding it is the functionality I was looking for. Kudos to all involved in making this available.

That's generally not going to be effective. A previous version "that just worked" was most likely updated because it stopped doing so. I'm sure nostra does consider whether changes he recently made might have caused a current issue. This is not an open development project, so I doubt he'll ever be posting his source code. ;)
