[SOLVED] Import from IMDB Not Working
Chummy:
Nope, nothing new. The IMDB plug-in used to work just fine. Only recently does it show it's downloading data while not actually adding that data to the PVD database.

But it's not. According to the log you posted, it's doing nothing after the GET statement. As nostra suggests, it would seem that something is preventing any data from being downloaded. Have you checked your virus scanner, firewall, peer blocker, etc.?
If data were being downloaded, the log would look something like this...

Chummy:
Yes, I checked all potential blocks before I posted.
Again, this is only a recent phenomena. Until recently PVD imported data just fine from IMDB. I've changed nothing with my security settings, measures in that interim.
When I select Import from IMDB the status bar at the bottom of PVD indicates data is "downloading" from IMDB, as I mentioned above. Also as noted above, despite saying the data is being downloaded it is not being imported into the PVD database.
Chummy:
I just tried to import from IMDB. At the bottom of PVD in its status bar it's noted that data is being downloaded, as well as identifying the size of the data in KB, etc. All that is actually imported to PVD, however, is the url of the movie title.
This is different from my earlier experience with PVD, and as I've written previously, it's a recent change.
Chummy:
What I should also note is that ONLY the IMDB plug-in is not working properly. For example, I can import data from Allmovie.com just fine, but prefer that data from IMDB.com.
