Personal Video Database

Here is the new AllMovie.com HTTPS script beta for PVD MOD versions. It works the same way as IMDB_[EN][HTTPS] script for PVD MOD versions.

If you have such a url http://www.allmovie.com/movie/10-things-i-hate-about-you-v177526 downloads data from AllMovie Overview page only and adds such
http://www.allmovie.com/movie/10-things-i-hate-about-you-vm1127949 new url address. In the case of novice addresses in the database, a new url address is added and all the data that is there and can be transferred by the script is transferred, if it is also primarily enabled there.

Here are some settings you can change manually.

  GET_ACTORS   = True;   //Set to False to ensure ~ctActors~ not added even if 'Overwrite fields' setting allows

AllMovie.com[EN][HTTPS]_ b is attached.

In the IMDB_[EN][HTTPS] script, the IMDB search results no longer work due to a change in the source code on these pages.

In the AdultEmpire.com[EN][HTTPS]_ b6 script, I added some fixes to the function and add some new function codes to transfer information. Added some new functions to transfer information, because otherwise it didn't transfer some information before.

Fixes  function:

RemoveTagsEx or multiple versions of this function

GetMoviePerformer
ParseMovieDirector
GetMoviePerformers
ParseMovieCastss
GetMoviePerformer_det
ParseMovieCast_det
ParseMovieDirector_det
GetMovieSynopsis
GetMovieSynopsiss
ParseMoviePage

New  function:

ParseMovieProducer_det
GetMovieLengths

Now, Length is also edited to pass the length of the movie into the normal Length field.

Some new pieces of code are added to the ParseMoviePage function to transfer information.

In adultempire.cfg.psf you have a list of custom fields and also User Options for certain settings when searching for results and downloading movie images.

For the .psf extension, I suggest using the Notepad++ program as well as for opening this extension. PVDscript can be nicely edited with it.

The script is now also ready as a final version. There may be some corrections, but then it will be added to the forum as the latest final version.

I think Ivek is already working on it on IMDb.

Thanks for the welcome afrocuban!

I think Ivek is already working on it on IMDb.

You're welcome. I am not aware Ivek would work on it. The last I read from him here was

So there won't be any new IMDB_[EN][HTTPS] script updates anymore because it is no longer possible to download many full downloads of information. The new Imdb website design does not allow this anymore.

Unless this means he'll completely rewrite new one...

Quote from: afrocuban on September 10, 2023, 02:11:53 am

I wonder how many users still using PVD.


Do you think more than few dozens?

Maybe.

Quote from: afrocuban on September 10, 2023, 02:11:53 am

I wonder how many users still using PVD.

There is no doubt, PVD is the first choice and will remain so in the future as long as it is possible to update the scripts for the information I need for my PVD database.

I use EMDB or another program from time to time for testing, if a favorable solution might be found, so that I could then possibly update all possible IMDB movies scripts for all other PVD users as well.

Not yet (currently the second script I'm testing takes precedence), but maybe I'll fix the IMDb script in the future, as I mentioned above. If there's anything new, I'll let you know here.

In the AdultEmpire.com[EN][HTTPS]_ b3 script, I added some fixes to the function

GetStudioSearchResult
ParseSearchResultIndex
GetMovieYear
GetMovieSynopsis

and some more code fixes for custom fields functions.

I also added the function GetUrlMovieIDSearchResult, which is helpful for easier checking and possible errors in the search results.

I removed this piece of code.AddFieldValueXML('code', retStr);

In the AdultEmpire.com[EN][HTTPS]_ b2 script, I added some fixes to the function

GetMovieBackCover
ParseMovieCasts 
GetMovieSynopsis

and a few more custom fields.

MAX_SEARCH_PAGES should be limited to 10 search pages.

Here is a new beta, 0.2.3.0 thanks to Ivek's help.

The list of movies was:

• would you like to know!!!
• will remain a secret unless Ivek reveals it

I will explain below how this is the case.

I will not publish the addresses publicly because there is one rule on this forum that does not allow public advertising and posting of porn content or porn addresses. This does not mean that, for example, this or some other script (on this topic) or log files may not be published. On the contrary, everything can be published, just in a concrete way.

As such, these addresses are not for public publication, but can be found in the log files.

And this:
I am testing the AdultDVDEmpire script in order to find and correct errors, so that later the script will work correctly and transfer certain information correctly.

Quote from: Ivek23 on October 18, 2023, 02:07:45 pm

I am testing the script, I described the problems to you in a private message. Here I am attaching a script where I have added log messages for better error finding. I suggest that these log messages be added in future AdultDVDEmpire script versions.

Thank you a lot.

Sorry for absence of log message, I have cleaned code too much 

 
No problem. Here now the log file.

Hi guys,

I am not sure if this thread is valid also because IMDB changed the site (I tested the current script with a new DB and the indicated movie but the freeze does not happen) .

If it is valid, however, I am here to help resolve the issue.

PS:
If I am writing without anyone responding, I would advise the moderators to close the thread in a few months.

Of course, this problem no longer exists because Storyline information from the basic IMDb movies page can no longer be downloaded.

A keywords script, awesome!  Somehow I never noticed that post before now.  Anyway, thanks, Ivek!

Welcome. Yes, it was uploaded to the Personal Video Database alternate Forum, which unfortunately is no longer available.
