--- Quote from: leogets on October 16, 2024, 03:17:29 am ---During the search for movies info. has anyone yet found a solution why the IMDB url for movies can't be found.
Every script I've tried so far don't work. The movie(s) IMDB url can't be found so none of the movie(s) information can be downloaded and applied to the database. The script I currently use to Import the movie information (IMDB_[EN][HTTPS]_TEST_1.psf which is also attached) only works Once the IMDB url is entered in the database for the movie(s). It works perfect for downloading all the data I want for the movie(s) but like I said the URL for the movie(s) info. is needed for it to work.
? Naming convention of Movies ?
For a File name; ':' cannot be used in a file name. So instead I use ' -' in its place so a movie like
Hellboy: The Crooked Man would be Hellboy - The Crooked Man instead.
Do any of the scripts when searching for a movie; movies url make the change when it comes across a movie that has a ' - ' in the title name and change it to ': ' so it can find the movie? Seems like every movie on imbd with a : in the name can't be found not to mention every movie period as of the last couple of months.
Thanks for any replies.

To search for results and then add url addresses to the url field, you will need to use one of the Imdb.com[EN][HTTPS]_Search script versions and also more about why search does not work in Imdb.com[EN][HTTPS] script versions results.
Below are links to explanations and Imdb.com[EN][HTTPS]_Search script versions.

Thanks afrocuban, I made a bugfix to the script released a few posts earlier.
Now only if the urls are from IMDb are used for data retrieval.
Happy Holidays!

Thank you, NetworkShark and Ivek! Best wishes!
Just to let know NetworkShark, that his fix now works if there is one non-imdb link in it. But, if there are more than one links there (in my case, that would be AllMovie and FilmAffinity links), then it crashes PVD again.
Ivek's -b search script doesn't offer right result when multiple choices are, while -a search script offers the right movie among others.
Example:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0058724/
So, generally it looks -a search script is the best to use in order not to miss the result for the movie we are looking for.

Thank you afrocuban, you too!
I can't replicate the error, can you get the log?
Thanks,
Net

Yes, _adv search script crashes my PVD. I can't seem to find anything relatable in the log, but here it is logfile for all 3 scripts. First I ran -b script, then -a script, and at the end _adv search script. Sections for each script in the log file are separated with ======== so it could be visually better detectable.
To summarize:
1. -b script doesn't find any results (screenshot 1)
2. -a finds proper result (!!!) but imports only http://www.imdb.com to an URL field (screenshot 2) ( ??? )
3. _adv script crashes my PVD, either it's Ivek's or Net's script.
Any help appreciated.

The source code for the url address has been changed a bit, I already know that. It may only be necessary to make a small correction to make IMDB_[EN][HTTPS]_Search -b script and IMDB_[EN][HTTPS]_Search -a script work again. I will have to wait a few days to fix this, because the days are shorter now and I have other more important things to do. I think that around November 1st it will be fixed and new versions of the script will be added.

Sorry, if I'm going to jump into this discussion, but how come there are various scripts?
