AllMovie disappeared,Allrovi.com appeared

Today I noticed that my AllMovie SCRIPT DOES NOT WORK.
It looks like it has changed the page address and appearance.
What is happening there and how far is the possibility that can be done new scenario for AllRovi.com.

rick.ca:
Yes, AllMovie has been replaced by AllRovi. I think we're screwed. Although the content is the same, it appears a lot of it (e.g., keywords, themes, tones, moods, etc.) has been dropped. Although the page designs are similar, it seems things have been changed enough our scripts will require complete rewrites. Now I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop—these pinheads are likely to do the same thing to AllMusic. >:(  :'(

I wouldn't expect nostra to get around to this anytime soon. Even if he could, there may be further changes coming—assuming Rovi is inclined to respond to the flood of complaints this is likely to generate. There's no point trying to rewrite a script for a site that keeps changing. On the other hand, I suspect there are many of us for whom this is a major problem.

You might want to try adapting the old script to the new site. To do that, you'll probably need to refer to the old pages to understand how the script needs to change. They're still available in the Google cache, and can be found with the search: site:www.allmovie.com [Title] [Page] where "Page" is Overview (or omitted), Review, Cast, Production or Cast. Select the "Cached" link from the search results page. That's how the page in the screen shot was obtained.

Too bad that this happened.

Hopefully not, but I have a feeling that very soon the same will happen with Allmusic.

I'm not an expert for this.

In AllMovie I used almost a year that I am using a lot of script, (you have up Nostra, Rick.ca and other script other authors) and original code page I may be alone Amended and do your script for AllMovie people, for a new site I have no idea how and what to do for any old script that I have.


We will see and know what to Nostra will say, when he returns back to work.

I understand. I have very little confidence I could modify my AllMovie+ script. There doesn't seem to be any point in trying. It's purpose was to get additional data the original script did not. Most of that additional information is now gone. At a glance, the only useful data left are the Synopsis and Review. I'll just have to hope nostra finds time to rewrite the original script so I can at least get those. :(

Yes, it is.
Now most of these additional information is no longer there, damage, However, the future may be just what the change for the better.

But it is also any better information, say in Releaes as soon as possible, it is true as well that the information is now more deficient than before, this is particularly true for People information.
