PVD freezes using certain script.
UtNut:
Hoping there's a good-hearted soul in this forum who can steer me in the right direction.
I have never encountered this problem before but suddenly when I import using Imdb Movie Info Script 0.1.1.2, PVD freezes and is not responding for hours. Only thing I can do is to force PVD to exit and when I start it up again the record is there but there's nothing I can do with, not delete it or edit it, when I click on it PVD starts to be irresponsive again.
What have I done sofar.
Well obviously I looked around but could not find a satisfying answer. I use version 0.9.9.21 and tried latest version 1.0.2.7, opened PVD on another computer, tried firebird tools, exported it to excel and csv to get rid of the culprit, all to no avail. All other scripts work fine.
So any advice is more than welcome, tia.

It's a very famous problem.
Try removing Imdb Movie Info Script 0.1.1.2 first so that you can re-add it back. Then restart PVD and try to remove this record. If this does not work, restart PVD and try to restore the database. This means that if you already have it or you have made a backup copy, then you will not lose much or too much data (from my own experience it is good after every successful data entry to make a backup copy of the database, then I can recover if necessary).
Another option that is even more likely is to temporarily remove the current skin and then later return it back. Then restart PVD and try to remove this record. If this does not work, restart PVD and try to restore the database. Current skin then later return it back.
This happens when Imdb Movie Info Script encounters a kind of problem and can not download information. The error is in the Imdb Movie Info Script code. Also, try the Imdb Top 250, IMDb Rating and Studio (2) script, which you will find on the link below.

I hope Imdb Top 250, IMDb Rating and Studio (2) script will work and there will be no more problems with PVD freeze. But if there are still problems, please write me the title of the movie and the Imdb url link so I can verify the problem.

Hi, Ivek: thanks for allyour great work!
I'm having this problem with the movie http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0031022/, with the script Imdb Top 250, IMDb Rating and Studio (2). I have made a few tests and in fact the script is finishing correctly, the trouble is that is getting a lot of text and HTML code on the description. By cleaning the description field with a sql command the program opens again.

I removed the script, but it doesn't solve the problem.

I've tried that with latest version 1.0.2.7 and the standard skin, I use 0.9.9.21 with a different skin, alas to no avail.

Yes, I tried that and it works fine, but still I can not remove or delete the record.

It's not so much a specific record, when I import any movie with that script, PVD freezes. Even on another PC I've installed PVD and still without the script being loaded, it freezes the moment I click on that record.
BTW, I much appreciate your reply Ivek, and I really hope there is a solution to this problem.
Ivek23:
Try running PVD in debug mode and then add a log.txt file to the forum. You can also run PVD in debug mode and try the script, and then add a log.txt file to the forum to see if I can find an error.
Then, maybe I write new instructions for advice on a possible solution to the problem.
