Is it just me, or Rottentomates script doesn't get ratings anymore? Thanks in advance!

Not only for you, this applies to anyone using the Rottentmatoes script.

Yes,  Rottentmatoes script needs more code corrections due to changes in source code on wer pages.

Hello Ivek. I'm using PVD_1.0.2.7_MOD-V20180922. You were right, it's not about .dll files, it was something with .batch files that I don't understand:

This batch file works:

NAME=AllMovie.com+RottenTomatoes HTTPS
DESC= AllMovie.com+RottenTomatoes HTTPS
TYPE=2
EXECUTE=FilmAffinity_[EN][HTTPS].psf|IMDB_[EN][HTTPS].psf|

This .batch file is OK and works.

and this one doesn't:

NAME=AllMovieHTTPS+RottenTomatoesHTTPS+IMDBFull
DESC= AllMovieHTTPS+RottenTomatoesHTTPS+IMDBFull
TYPE=2
EXECUTE=AllMovie.com HTTPS.psf|Rottentomatoes_[HTTPS].psf|Imdb Title, Original Tile and Year.psf|FilmAffinity_[EN][HTTPS].psf|Imdb Url on the first page and IMDbID.psf|IMDB_[EN][HTTPS].psf|


... while basically there is no differences between them except about the scripts that are used. Weird.

This .batch file is not ok and does not work due to IMDB_ [EN] [HTTPS] .psf (proxy connection problem).

In PVD settings, the proxy Internet connection must be turned off, otherwise IMDB_ [EN] [HTTPS] .psf script does not work properly.

Removing IMDB_ [EN] [HTTPS] .psf from the .batch file should solve the problem.

But, since it's not possible at the moment to make AllMovie script without Proxomitron, and Rottentmatoes script doen't get ratings any more, I will not use batch files, because it's useless. Thank you...

Slovenian translation for PVD 1.0.2.7.

Small fixes.

Slovenian.lng is renamed to custom.lng and copied to the program folder. PVD and PVD MOD 1.0.2.7 version then works in the Slovenian language.

Slovenian.lng is attached.

Hello guys and please receive our bow to your great work!

Thanks.

I wanted to ask you if there is possibility to use AllMovie.com HTTPS.psf script without Proxomitron in PVD MOD? If there is possibility, but it is too much work for you, how we, without programming knowledge, could achieve it?

Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Of course it exists, but it would be a great deal worth putting in to make the script reorder for the PVD MOD version. Without programming knowledge more difficult. Currently, it does not go without Proxomitron.

Otherwise, I have now little or I do not have time for this, but also when there are moments that I have time, I am fixing and doing many tests on multiple IMDB scripts.

This is definitely a big challenge for the adaptation of the AllMovie.com HTTPS script. We will see in the future what can be done in this direction. Of course, some other users would also want to use this script in the PVD MOD version.

Nice work and congratulations that something has just succeeded.

Ok
i'm translating language file
as soon as i will end it, i will give it to you, so that you can include it also in the installation files.

You do not send it to me, because I can not add it to the installation files. Attach it (in 7z or zip formats) to a forum in this topic for other users, which is then added as custom.lng to its PVD program folder.

just another thing
i read in the script that:
"TheMovieDB "keywords" info goes to ~tags~ PVD field"
but i can see that all the tags (TheMovieDB Keywords) are still in english (see image attached)

can you suggest to me how to solve it ?

It will probably be everywhere because it is not translated into the Italian language. Unfortunately, this can not be corrected. There is, however, the possibility that it will be OK when the website is also translated into the Italian language.

Or if the people script with the "+" of the post: http://www.videodb.info/forum_en/index.php/topic,4134.msg20878.html#msg20878
is the last and good versión I can publish in the MOD version adding one GET_FULL_FILMOGRAPHY parameter for the people that doesn't want download this information.

Yes, this is the latest good version, which works. You can add a GET_FULL_FILMOGRAPHY parameter. It starts at the end of the photo code and the beginning of the Award code.
Does not add with this part of the code:
