New changes on ImdB made PVD 1.0.2.7 Unusable

(1/8) > >>

gear:
Up to now I have been using my PVD with IMDB scripts and Proxomitron modified by Ivek. Some of them not working, so I used copy and paste. As you know lately IMDB changed their design and nothing works anymore in PVD. No Episodes, etc. My database has about 3.500 titles. I would like to ask you your point of view: What should I do ? Wait for new modified scripts (working with IMDB), move to the new MOD version (if it works with the latest IMDB design) and move all my data to the MOD version or, move to another Software ? Many thanks

Yes, it is true that IMDB has changed the layout of the primary werb pages for movies, series and episodes.  I am already preparing and testing Imdb Movie (episodelist) scripts to download a list of seasons and episodes for a particular TV Series that work with the help of Proxomitron. IMDB_ [EN] [HTTPS] is already updated and works in PVD MOD versions.

Which version of PVD are you using. Also attach the IMDB scripts you use to see them and then maybe I can update them as well. Then I will also be able to tell you which PVD version would be best to use.

Thank you Ivek for yr reply. As mentioned in the subject, I am using PVD 1.0.2.7 with the following scripts:

IMDB [EN] 0.9.8.26 (for Movie info) and IMDB [EN] 0.3.0.21 (for People info).

The other Scripts are as follows: Imdb Movie Script 0.1.0.7
Imdb Movie Script (Tech Specs) 0.1.0.4

Imdb Movie Info Script 0.1.1.2 Imdb Movie Script (combined) 0.1.1.2 Imdb Movie Script (Episode list) 0.1.1.2 Imdb Movie Script (cast combined) 0.1.1.2 Imdb Movie Script (plot summary) 0.1.1.2  Imdb Movie Script (business) 0.1.1.2 Imdb Movie Script (release info) 0.1.1.2 Imdb Movie Script (tech specs) 0.1.1.2

Imdb Movie (title) Script 0.1.2.0 Imdb Movie Script (cast)2 0.1.2.0 Imdb Movie Script (cast series)2 0.1.2.0

IMDB [EN] 0.9.8.26 (for film information) only works to search and display results, and then does not download any more information. It still works, however, if you use such an archived Wayback Machine url address for IMDb.

http://web.archive.org/web/20210125021449/http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0147800/

Such an address must be archived in January and until March, perhaps in April, and in any case before the change, when IMDb switched to a new layout of the basic web pages.

IMDB [EN] 0.3.0.21 (for personal information) is still working in a slightly truncated form because it does not transfer certain information (photo, awards).

Imdb Movie Script (combined) 0.1.1.2 or Imdb Movie Script (cast combined) 0.1.1.2 and Imdb Movie Script (business) 0.1.1.2 no longer work because business and combined web pages no longer exist, but are redirected to the main web page.

For combined web pages, there is a replacement, namely references web pages. Imdb Movie Script (cast combined) 0.1.1.2 may be updated for these pages, we'll see.

Imdb Movie Script (Episode list) 0.1.1.2 and Imdb Movie Script (episode list) a 0.1.1.5 I'm just testing them, they work, only some details need to be fixed. For information, to download the Episode list you can also use tvdb.dll, which downloads certain information for series with seasons and episodes in seasons. It does not transfer this information for each series, but I have not been able to find out why. A good example of this is NCIS, whose season it doesn’t transfer, but transfers for other series from the NCIS franchise.

As for the other Imdb Movie Scripts mentioned above, we'll see what can be edited. You may just need to rearrange the url code for a particular web page and the script will work.

And this:
However, I would ask you if I could to make all scripts except IMDb plugins (with .dll extension) added on the forum, because certain scripts may not be in the archive or jin may also no longer be on the forum.

Thank you Ivek for yr quick reply. I have many questions but, I will ask you only the basic:
1) Is the MOD version working with the current IMDB layout ?
2) Can I transfer my database to the MOD version easily?
3) From your answers, I understand that some scripts might work -if modified- but most work will be manual copy & paste of IMDB data, as I have done up to now.
4) Your last paragraph has some Russian words which I don't understand what you mean. You want me to upload all psf files used for IMDB ?

Best regards,
George
