Support / Re: IMDB movie information plugin partially broken
« on: October 11, 2013, 09:26:56 pm »
imdb.com available again, everything works ok, except...

Can anyone confirm that not all aka's are imported, but only one -  local?

AKAs weren't working with previous plugin version either, at least for me. But Ivek23's "Individual script for Release Dates" is a cool workaround.

Script is found here.

You can modify one of the standard batch files, like "imdb+allrovi.batch" this way:
Code: [Select]
EXECUTE=imdb.dll|Imdb Movie(releaseinfo).psf

Just updated IMDB plugin to the latest (today's) version 0.9.8.19 but cannot update TV Episodes...

I've tried downloading and updating episodes with version 0.9.8.19 and worked OK.
Tested with The time tunnel (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0060036/)

Tested new plugin version with a few movies and seems to work OK. Many thanks, Nostra
A cosmetic thing: in Actors field, plugin imports two many spaces in some cases. For example with "Dead of night" movie (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0037635/).

Well, I guess IMDB changed the pages once again.
When importing a movie there are some fields that doesn't work anymore. I think the problem is with the fullcredits page, since now I'm only getting a maximum of two writers, no producer, no composer, and actors just from main page.
Using PVD 1.0.2.5 with 0.9.8.18 plugin version on Windows XP SP3.

Thanks Ivek, you're really grosso.
In the tech specs script I changed the name of the custom field to "Datos Técnicos" and it works OK.
The standard AKA field is now filled OK with the releaseinfo script.
Great improvement for me.

Wait a few weeks or months, then Imdb plugin will not import any other information, except those that are imported from primary Imdb movies pages. I suppose, it will be necessary for information from other sites to prepare additional plug-ins to transfer information. We'll see in the future, how and what will actually happen in this regard.

I mention this because I'm done last year Imdb script with additional information, which interested me. Script yet transferred only the information from unmodified Imdb pages, from the newly modified Imdb pages I currently can not find the right solution for the transfer of information. The current solution is an additional script specifically for each specific page.

Hi Ivek.
I was wondering if is it possible that you make public that specific IMDB page scripts.
At the moment I'm manually importing "AKAs", "Technical Specs" and "Synopsis" (this one from FilmAffinity), plus adding "Studio" and "Language" when there are more than one, and roles for "Writer" and "Producer" fields.
If I could automate some of this tasks it would be a great improvement.
Thanks in advance.

Something that annoys me: I hate mouse, but I couldn't find a way to access some options without it (the right click options, the main menu). ¿Is it just my silliness -again- or a design thing?. If it is the second option I would really appreciate a way to use the keyboard.

Well, it was my silliness I guess.
I use a modified version of PVD Download Manager skin, and the problem were the repeated accelerators. Perhaps the explanation could help some other.

Tested zipped version on two XP SP3 machines with different antivirus.
In one of them (with Comodo Internet Security) IMDB plugin does not update. The program checks and acts normally, but when it restarts IMDB plugin is still .17 version. I suppose it has something to do with Comodo but couldn't find an explanation looking through the settings.

A little bug: The Exit option on the Personal Video Database menu does nothing at all.

What are your plugin settings and what movie are you updating?
I will fix FilmAffinity plugin probably shortly after release of the next PVD version.

Very simple explanation: I have two program directories and updated the plugin on the wrong one.  :-[
Sorry, sorry and a million times sorry.
It's working OK except for the Technical Specs that were reported by Ivek23. The site displays them in a different way now and they're not retrieved.

Many thanks for the FilmAffinity plans nostra, and again sorry (I'm really ashamed of my sillyness).

Still not working on my system.  :'(
Using 0.9.9.21 (zipped version) and 0.9.8.18 IMDB plugin on XP SP3.
I get this error:


By the way: ¿are there any plans on updating FilmAffinity plugin? I reported here that is not working anymore (the site updated).

Thanks for all your work nostra.

The site updated its look, and now nothing happens when you use the plugin. It imports no information at all.
Using PVD 0.9.9.21 on XP SP3.

I noticed another thing: some of the movies included in the IMDB "Connections" are linked with the ones you already have in the database but others don't.

... if a movie you know is in your collection is not highlighted, it's probably because there's a duplicate invisible record in your database. That duplicate record might have been created when the movie you're looking at was added because the existing visible record was not found, or it may have existed before and was not found and merged when you created the current record. I suppose most of these issues arise because the program is attempting to maintain these links by matching titles. Ambiguities (like 'Goodbye Lenin' vs. 'Good Bye Lenin') can result in an existing record not being found and a duplicate being created.


I made a test that make me think the problem has something to do with changing title, although this that not explain the case with "La Dolce Vita" except I changed it by mistake and don't remember.

Here's a description of the test:

1. Started the program without any database.
2. Created some custom items and checked the "Leave as they are" option in "Title formatting".
3. Imported a movie (title, url, comment and custom items) from MS Excel ("Amando de Ossorio: el último templario", http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0366163/).
4. Imported data for the movie from IMDB.
5. Made visible an item from "Connections, Features" ("Tombs of the Blind Dead", http://imdb.com/title/tt0067500/) and changed its title to "La noche del terror ciego". The "Add Record" window pops up but it only has "Add New" on the list so I click cancel.
6. Imported data for the movie from IMDB.
7. The connections are OK so far. From the first movie made visible a new item from "Connections, Edited from" ("Return of the Evil Dead", http://imdb.com/title/tt0068232/) and changed its title to "El ataque de los muertos sin ojos". The "Add Record" window pops up but it only has "Add New" on the list so I click cancel.
8. Imported data for the movie from IMDB. The "Add Record" window pops up but it only has "Add New" on the list so I click cancel.
9. The connections are not OK. From movie 1 are both linked . From movie 2 are both linked. But from movie 3 just the first one is linked.
11. Repeated the test without changing movie titles and all links are OK.
12. Added two more movies making them visibles from Connections -again without changing titles- and all links are OK.

I hope this information would be useful for someone.

Problem solved.  :)

I noticed another thing: some of the movies included in the IMDB "Connections" are linked with the ones you already have in the database but others don't. I couldn't realize of a pattern for this, but I'll give you two examples.

Example 1:
I have "Amelie" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0211915/), "El bueno, el malo y el feo" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0060196/) and "El padrino II" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0071562/) in the database.
When I import "Amor Eterno" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0344510/) and look at the connections -in 'References'- the third one is linked (with its english title) but the others aren't (also with their english titles). And if you go to the 3 movies that were already in  the base and look in 'Referenced in', "Amor Eterno" is linked in all of them.

Example 2:
I have "Good Bye Lenin!" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0301357/), "Fellini 8½" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0056801/) and "Boccaccio '70" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0055805/) in the database.
When I import "La Dolce Vita" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0053779/) and look at 'Referenced in', "Good Bye Lenin!" is not linked (it appears as "Goodbye Lenin!") but the others are (they appear as "8½" and "Boccaccio '70"). And if you look at the 'References' connections in "Good Bye Lenin!" and "Boccaccio '70", "La Dolce Vita" (so it appears) is not linked, but it is linked in "Fellini 8½".


Once again: I love your program, it has 99% of what I ever dreamed (the 1% is a field for "Cinematography").

Not sure if it is a bug, cause i'm quite a newbie.
I had some character encoding problems in movie connections when importing my latest movies.
For instance, for the movie Aelita (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0014646/ ) in the "Featured in" section of the Movie connections I see "Fejezetek a film történetéböl: Az orosz és a szovjet némafilm" instead of "Fejezetek a film történetéböl: Az orosz és a szovjet némafilm".
I'm using latest version of program and IMDB plugin and didn't make any configuration changes.

By the way: Your program rules!!!
