Yikes, that's terrible news. What would you recommend as the next best option for getting cast and other information?

I don't know what the next best option would be for getting the cast and other information.

Hmm, okay, how about just other options in general?

Is there a newer version of the IMDB script than IMDB_[EN][HTTPS]_TEST_2c.psf?  For the past few months this one hasn't been pulling much information at all for me.

I agree, it is a very sad and frustrating thing.  I certainly appreciate Ivek's efforts to keep PVD alive, and I still use it pretty frequently, but I'm not sure how much longer that will be the case.  For example, the tags/keywords feature was something that made PVD unique, and it was the feature I used the most.  But that information is no longer downloaded when I add new movies, so it's been very disappointing lately.  I think I'll be experimenting with other programs soon to see if I can find something that will do the job until another standout comes along.

I browsed through the forums and didn't see any mention of it, so I'm glad it's known.  Is there any estimated date of when it will be fixed?  I also tried joining the alternate forum but can't seem to get approval.  Is that a known issue as well?

Thanks for the error. The culprit is the poster download code, which I also assumed was because I myself had a reported error when I tested the script. The error will probably be fixed tomorrow.

That's awesome.  Thank you again for all your assistance and hard work! 

No change when using the other version of the file.   

I don't know if this helps at all, but if I try running the script with only a title, and no link in the URL field, I get this error:

IOHandler value is not valid.

Allmovie now appears as an import option, but I get the following error when I run it:

Socket Error #11001
Host not found.

Okay, here's what the log file said about the Allmovie script:

(12/27/2019 5:40:41 PM) Compiling script: AllMovie.com HTTPS.psf
(12/27/2019 5:40:41 PM) Could not compile script: AllMovie.com HTTPS.psf
[Error] (402:75): Unknown identifier 'AllMovie'

You now have the filter set to make all movies visible, and now in the Filters tab, switch to Visible and only see blue-highlighted movies.

Thanks!  Never would have found that otherwise.  :-)

I'm also getting the following error message when I try to import using the IMDB plugin:
"This script needs the external file for work.  PVdbDownPage.exe  Read script text for further information."
Where can I find this file?

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!
