[SOLVED] Multi threaded IMDB fetching?
Happy2k:
Is there any way to make the IMDB fetcing multi threaded?
Worst part is, if it encounters a movie its not sure about - everything stops. So you cant leave it over night, and just fix the unknown ones when you get up.
If there is a way to speed it up, id very much like to get a hint about it ;)
Else, a possible solution could be:
- Multi threadded IMDB fetching
- A "fix me"-list, for movies that are not recognized 100%
Besides that.. the most recent update seems to have helped on the recognition - its only few that are not automaticly recognized now!

Silent mode. ;)

Use a search to display the records not updated by the Silent mode update. Since all of those will require user input, you'll be kept reasonably busy while updating those with Silent mode off.

That's an interesting idea for other reasons (e.g., update speed), but I would be very surprised if IMDb did not ban IP's making multiple simultaneous requests. I'm actually surprised were able to get away with what we are doing.

Hi Rick,
could you clarify "silent mode" for me please?
I always thought it was taking the first result in the list of films found, hence that there was no way to return to the "not 100% match".
But from what you wrote it sounds like it is just skipping the ones it is not sure about?
Could you confirm please?
Thanks

Right. It would make quite a mess of things if guessed. ;)

Before using PVD, i was trying out different programs. Most of them had a very fast IMDb fetch. I dont think IMDb would care - ive never heard of IMDb ip banning someone.
I wouldnt mind being a ginniepig for testing out multi threaded IMDb fetching.
