PVD Selenium MOD v4 IMDb Movie Script Confusion

[Pacifist]

ok. Python is installed. Chrome (latest version) is present. All Selenium scripts are present. I don't need to register anything additionally myself. Then why is there always the same message and a complete lack of information? Why aren't there even temporary swap files in the \Scripts\Tmp\ folder. Although they are present when using NON-Selenium scripts. I even tried to turn on VPN due to the peculiarities of the Internet in the country. Zero... 

Can I send you an archive of my PVD (without a database)? 40 Mb...

Sent. By the way, should chrome be the default browser on a computer? I have a different main browser.

[Ivek23]

No, it's not necessary, my default browser is Mozilla Firefox.

Yes, I received your !PersonalVideoDB program by email.

By the way, I tested your !PersonalVideoDB program a little, it works for certain movies, but it doesn't work for the movie Al Final Del Túnel. We'll see what's wrong here, because on my test PVD with chromedriver it works and transfers the information to the database.

After I do some more tests, I'll send you back a tested version of your !PersonalVideoDB program.

Thank You!!

I am sending you !PersonalVideoDB, which is updated to the latest PVD 1.0.2.7 MOD version. The new updated !PersonalVideoDB is now in portable debug version, so now run it with portable.bat file and the log file will have all the data about the operation, as in the currently attached log file. All redundant files are attached in the (Nova mapa) New Folder files, in case you need them.

Unfortunately, the result is the same. If I understood correctly, then during the import of information in the TMP folder, temporary files should be created. But they are not there. Neither during the operation of the PVD, nor after. I launched the PVD with administrator rights, disabled the antivirus. Nothing helps.

Did you run portable.bat, which runs in debug mode in the program folder and what is written in the log file.

A. You installed python

You installed Python, that's ok.

B. You installed selenium by

Run cmd as administrator and then enter the following

pip install selenium

to install selenium for you and then enter the rest, to update to the latest version, if necessary.

If it still doesn't work, the problem is somewhere else.  I don't know how else to help, unfortunately.

It works without problems on Win10 64 bit for me.

Here, it reports an error that you don't have an internet connection. This means that the Selenium_Chrome_Base_page_v4.py script does not allow you to continue downloading the downpage-UTF8_NO_BOM.htm file. Apparently, the problem is possible in Win7 or you have blocked access to download information from the Imdb page or in the Selenium_Chrome_Base_page_v4.py script itself, where something is written in the Selenium_Chrome_Base_page_v4.py script code that blocks you from continuing the download process of the entire source code of the IMDb base page.

For me, it continues normally, as you can see below.

To potentially fix the problem, I would advise you to use, for example, ChatGPT, which uses AI. Perhaps you will be able to solve your problems with PVD with its help.
