AllMovie disappeared, Allrovi.com appeared!

Google cache - can be a peaceful goodbye to him because all the old AllMovie URL redirects to the new AllRovi site (almost all of the URL).

I think the web archive is more effective anyway.

Old AllMovie URLs like...
http://www.allmovie.com/work/casablanca-8482 or
http://www.allmovie.com/work/8482

...now redirect to AllRovi, where this URL is formed like this:
http://www.allrovi.com/movies/movie/casablanca-v8482

Most of the movies in my database can be found in the WayBack Machine web archive using a URL like...
http://web.archive.org/web/http://www.allmovie.com/work/casablanca-8482.

Note the movie identifier needs to be exactly the same as what AllRovi now uses, without the 'v' before the ID number.

With nostra's help, I hope we can revise the AllRovi movie script to...


* Convert existing AllMovie URLs to AllRovi URLs so no title search is required.
* Construct the web archive URL from the AllRovi URL and save this in the URL and/or custom fields.
* Remove the old AllMovie URL from the URL field.

Test of my old AllMovie Url, I'm at the end of which the ID number add suffix "/allrovi.com", for example: http://www.allmovie.com/work/10-things-i-hate-about-you-177526/allrovi.com  and came to the result that the AllRovi script looking for info and data transfer with AllRovi pages without having to script use search results function and then show window with titles of movies.

I think it would be easier if the script handled old URLs automatically. ;)

Yeah, I know it would be easier, but for now, this solution may be a good, until Nostra finds time to help solve the problem about this.
