I already gave it him—for solving Actors' roles aren't being imported. I suppose we shouldn't penalize him for claiming he solved this one too. (I sound like my hero, Dick Pound, explaining "Well, he wasn't doping for that race.")
I'm not getting the same results as you guys, however. A few times, after repeated trials, including restarting, I got the URL-only thing. But when it works, I'm getting the full cast. I see no evidence it's being sent to the redesigned main pages, so that may be the difference.
Hyomil:
Do you have "Download full credits" checked in the plugin's options? (and 'from main page only' unchecked) I found the missing-credits problem occurs when its checked and doesn't when its unchecked.

I test it with the option set and not set and compare the results of both to the main and details page to verify I'm getting what I'm supposed to get. What are you doing? ;)
I don't remember now, but when I was checking my own results, I wondered if you were getting the main page credits from the redesigned site.

I set my IMDb preferences on the site to show the redesigned pages, but the same number of credits are displayed on the main page there as on the main page of the old design for http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0103085. There was a difference for http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0258058--15 on the main page with the new design and a larger number on the old design's page--so the new design cuts the main page's list shorter than the old design. But since PVD only imports 2 (not 15) cast members for that movie, it doesn't seem like PVD is importing credits from the new design's main page, unless its parsing it incorrectly. But the fact that unchecking "Download full credits" causes the full credit list to be imported indicates that PVD is parsing the page correctly.
nostra:
The plugin tries to detect which design is used and applies the right parser. I can imagine that there still could be some problems as I have tested the plugin on a limited set of movies and it can be that not all possible situations are handled correctly. Movies you have problems with seem to be pretty rare and lack some information which could cause in different HTML code.
I will most certainly be able to provide a fix very soon.
