"Import Movie Information using IMDB (EN) pluging" button was the last to work but, today it also stopped working with the message "IO Handler..."etc. making the PVD unusable, except for manual copy/paste from IMDB, which is impossible.
Can anybody confirm that the Proxomitron solution works ?

It was the same with me today, as you have already described. Even a few days ago, I had problems with this, for the first time the problems started after March 20 (I found a notice in the Russian section of the forum). Already then I had to arrange it default.cfg (1.0.2.7 Update topic (http://www.videodb.info/forum_en/index.php/topic,4115.msg20312.html#msg20312) for see to the more information), which I myself had to use repeatedly. Today, downloading information from IMDb web pages without this does not work. Now I can also confirm that IMDb plugins and scripts work with the Proxomitron solution.

Hello Ivek,
Have installed Proximitron (ProxN45j.exe) on my Windows 10 and your default.cfg as per your instructions, overwriting the original one but still nothing works in PVD with Proximitron running.
What am I doing wrong?

20 April 2018 Update: Followed step by step your instructions, removed the extra files not mentioned in your instructions and finally Proxomitron works with the PVD plugins!

Same here. Stopped today.

Gear,
It would be great if you'd share with the rest of us which files that weren't mentioned in Ivek's instructions you deleted, thus made PVD imports from IMDb. I did everything I could imagine, but still no luck. Thanks in advance.

It would be fine if you would describe and share this, how and what you did, along with other users. I will then add those experiences to Proxomitron topic so that others can also read these experiences.

Same here.
Also, the work around method of "pasting the IMDB url into PVD" does not work any more.
Receiving "IOHandler value is not valid".
What a pity.

Attached I will Proxomitron1 (in rar format) file, which I use and everything works okay.
We needed that because I could even add it to the forum.
First part
Attached Proxomitron1.part1.rar. zip file
-
Second part
Attached Proxomitron1.part2.rar. zip file.
-
Third part
Attached Proxomitron1.part3.rar. zip file.
-
Fourth part
Attached Proxomitron1.part4.rar. zip file.
Notice:
First, unzip, then unpack the Proxomitron1 rar file as many times as needed to make the final look the way it is on the attached image.
-
Tell me if it's working now.

It works fine (for me): default.cfg!

Hi Ivek,
Thank you for your reply. I appreciate your efforts to keep PVD up and running.
Proxomitron did not work for me. I must have done something wrong.
I unzipped Proxomitron as you suggested and also checked (studied) "Topic: 1.0.2.7" Update page.
1.) Run the Proxomitron program
2.) Run the PVD program
3.) Start any Amazon plugin and then allow or not allow the operation of Amazon plugin
"Under number 3, in this case, run any Imdb plugin or script and then allow or not allow the operation of Imdb plugin or script."
*
This is what I have done...
1- Run Proxomitron with the new "default cfg"
2- Run PVD
3- Open a blank form using the "+" (new) icon
4- Put the title of the new movie into the "title" or "alternative title" field
5- From the "Import" box select "AMAZON (EN)" plugin (!)
6- Run Import function
Is that what I am supposed to do?
When and how am I supposed to run "IMDB (EN)" plugin?

You can, but under number 5, select "IMDB (EN)" plugin instead of "AMAZON (EN)" plugin.
Use IMDB (EN)" plugin when you want to download IMDB information for a particular movie.

I am getting "IOHandler value is not valid" error.
Thanks for your efforts anyway.

I'm guessing that this error occurs because you do not have a running Proxomitron program or you do not have these proxy server settings.
It will also act PVD, you must also PVD settings \ Internet connection, find the "Proxy" and confirm. In the "Server" field enter "localhost" Port settings to 80 . Only with this configuration will function properly PVD. PVD is used only proxy port 80.
(See image)

Ivek,
Thanks once more. I fixed the proxy setting. Now it works, but...
I get garbled "Title" and "Original Title" data. Something like: "var ue_t0=ue_t0||+new Date();"
I get proper data for the: "Also Known As", "Year", "Genre", "Director", "Actors", "Release Date", "Date Added" fields.
I do not get data for the: "Category", "Country", "Original Language", "IMDB Rating", "Description", "Comments", "Awards", "Duration" fields.
This is still acceptable for me, because it is better then opening a blank form and copy/paste all the fields from the relevant IMDB page (!).
(I do not need all the fields.)

Ivek,

Thank you. It's nice to hear that the thing is working now. As far as "but" is concerned, it is also a cure for it. I will answer, but I apologize in advance if the answer is delaying some day, because at the same time I am fixing and testing several Imdb scripts at once. That is why I can not do everything faster, as well as other important things that are important for everyday life (it is also due to the fact that it has been about 5 months since then when I no longer have a father, because at that time unfortunately he died). I will try to help you solve these problems as soon as possible.

In IMDB Title Problems topic (http://www.videodb.info/forum_en/index.php?topic=4046.0) you will find the Imdb Movie Info (title) script, which removes these problems. There you will also find the IMDB title.batch file in 7z form. There are also detailed instructions on what to designate for the script and what for the Imdb plugin.
Unzip the IMDB title.batch file and copy it to the Plugins program folder, where there is also the Imdb.dll file.
I do not get data for the: "Category", "Country", "Original Language", "IMDB Rating", "Description", "Comments", "Awards", "Duration" fields.
In IMDB MOVIE and PEOPLE topic (http://www.videodb.info/forum_en/index.php/topic,4123.0.html) you will find Imdb Top 250, IMDb Rating and Studio (2) script, which solves these problems.
What information is downloaded into the normal fields and in the custom fields, see the pictures. Script settings are on pictures that are stored in the sshot 7z file.

Works like sunshine, thanks a lot Ivek.
Couple of observations if I may.
Cast is not entirely complete, but cast-episode script works fine to complete it, same as with tech specs script.
-
Ivek,
Your suggested method works like a charm, works ("almost") like the original program.
This saves my life. I cannot express how grateful I am. Thank you million times.
(Only, "awards" data is missing for me, but that is OK)

Thank you, it's nice to hear that you are now working, except for the Awards, in which I'm looking for the ability to make the script work as much as possible. A bit will still have to wait for this script to transfer awards.

Yes this Proxomitron looks to be the solution to many of our HTTPS problems, great find.
Is there anything you can do about Original Language and Country?
Don't feel obliged if time and trouble are too much an effort, just asking.

When I try the Proxomitron method, I am getting this error message when I start the program: "Error opening block file... C:\Program Files (x86)\Proxomitron\Lists\RE-Lists\Bypass-RE.txt". It only does this after I replace the default.cfg file. It still seems to work, though, so not a big deal. Thanks for this solution!

You probably do not have this Bypass-RE.txt file. This is probably why you make this mistake. In AdultDVDEmpire Script is off again topic, you can find the Lists file. More on this link:

Perhaps then the problem will be resolved.

Which Imdb plugin or script you are using. You may use any other plugin or script.
will there in the future be a update to this problem?
Probably not in the future.
And will i still need Proxomitron installed?
Yes.

Hello Ivek. I'm very grateful for all you´ve done all this time, during and after Nostra.
Now I'm getting the HTTP/1.1.404 Not Found error, just after following all steps for Proxomiton. Please help, as I still intend to keep PVD networking my old Popcorn A-110.
-
Hello Ivek,
since we need Proxomitron I use the Imdb Movie Info(title).psf script and the normal IMDB plugin, wich works ok but does not download the duration/length of the movie and does not download the character name of the actors.
If I try the Imdb Top 250, IMDb Rating and Studio (2).psf script, PVD freezes sometimes, when it works it downloads the duration, though.
But the missing character names are bad. I think this is what another user has written here: http://www.videodb.info/forum_en/index.php/topic,4130.0.html

I apologize for the fact that I just answered you now.
I can not say how this happened. I need a little more details about Popcorn A-110. Then I'll see how it might help.

Hello Ivek,

Fixed Imdb Movie (cast) 2 script can be found on the link below.
But the missing character names are bad. I think this is what another user has written here: http://www.videodb.info/forum_en/index.php/topic,4130.0.html
If I try the Imdb Top 250, IMDb Rating and Studio (2).psf script, PVD freezes sometimes, when it works it downloads the duration, though.
Fixed Imdb Top 250, IMDb Rating and Studio (2) script is added below. I hope that the problem is solved now.

Hi Ivek,
I'm afraid but now it doesn't download the Actors at all. Am I doing something wrong?
When updating a movie, the (existing) Actors will not be updated with the Character names.
-
Hi Ivek,
I'm afraid but now it doesn't download the Actors at all. Am I doing something wrong?
If you use the old Imdb Movie (cast)2 script, this is normal. However, if you are using updated Imdb Movie (cast)2 script (in v 0.1.2.1), this is a bit unusual.
When updating a movie, the (existing) Actors will not be updated with the Character names.
Imdb plugin, as you already mentioned, does not do or transfer it.
-
::) of course i should use both scripts, not only the (cast)2 one.... now it works perfectly! ;)
So for all IMDB users: I now use a batch which launches Imdb Movie(cast)2.psf and Imdb Top 250, IMDb Rating and Studio (2).psf and it will nicely import your movie from IMDB (I don't need the poster).
I also updated the Imdb People Photo.psf for the People Photo import, the only thing not working now ist the Amazon poster import...
Thanks so much Ivek for keeping PVD alive! ;)

Thanks for the notification, because I do not currently deal with Amazon plug-ins and scripts. I worked on this issue a while ago, but I am currently working to solve problems around a lot of Imdb scripts that need updating. Imdb scripts are currently in the forefront, which is about updating and solving problems. When I have time (when this will not be known yet), I will also be addressing this problem, which can be very demanding for a successful solution, and then it will work properly.
Thanks so much Ivek for keeping PVD alive! ;)
Thanks and welcome.

Hey there. I've tried everything but for any Plugin and everytime I got the warning: "HTTP/1.1 404 not found"
In both versions, 0.9.9.21 and 1.0.2.7. I don't know, what to do. Please help!
Sorry for my english.

Sorry for my english.
This is what happened, as it says below.
I think that in the future more and more web pages start url title changed to "https://" and the script and maybe even plugins will no longer work,
because it does not use the api-key options, as is the case TheMovieDB web page.
Here you have some information on how to help the thing work. However, there are some of these topics in the Support board around these things or a matter around a secure https connection.
IMDB now also uses a secure https connection.
For more information, read this topic Proxomitron - next https solution for PVD (http://www.videodb.info/forum_en/index.php?topic=4083.0) in the Development section.
It is true, Rottentomatoes.com is the next Web site that is passed to a secure https:// connection.
Instead of the Rottentomatoes script is now new Rottentomatoes_ [HTTPS] script, where it now operates using curl program.
Rottentomatoes_ [HTTPS] script, can be found at this link:
http://www.videodb.info/forum_en/index.php/topic,4079.0.html
curl program and all of it can be found at this link:
http://www.videodb.info/forum_en/index.php/topic,4070.0.html
In the Alternative topic (http://www.videodb.info/forum_en/index.php/topic,4126.0.html), there is now a lot about the PVD_MOD project as an alternative program, which will be an alternative to replacing the original PVD program in the future (if, of course, Nostra does not update the original PVD program in the future).

It is nice to hear that the matter is now resolved and that it works.
Hi Ivek,
I think "Year" and "Release Date" have stopped working...? :( Maybe you can have a look at it? :) Thanks.
Edit: Fixed it somewhat... running the normal imdb.dll in the middle of the two scripts seems to add them. So my script looks like this now:
EXECUTE=Imdb Top 250, IMDb Rating and Studio (2).psf|imdb.dll|Imdb Movie(cast)2.psf
