Lately, information from IMDB is almost not loaded. For example, Nagagutsu o Haita Neko (1969, https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0064714/). And so with most films.

I suddenly have something strange happening with Selenium. If you take the log file as an example, you can see that instead of a couple dozen kilobytes, this file starts to swell to megabytes.. PWD freezes and does not enter anything into the database. And this is not in any particular movie, but in all that I tried to enter today.

The next time you have similar problems, first click on the Alltopic button on the website to check which pages are blacked out or check if the pages have data and repeat the above-mentioned and described procedure.

Are you talking about these settings in general and the Awards item in particular? Thanks!

As a note. For some reason, at some point the page with the film stops filling. For example, "Graf Dracula in Oberbayern" (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0079230/). You can see how the TMP folder is filled in the scripts, but all the fields on its page in the PVD are empty. Even the user ones. And I can't figure out if this is a problem in the program itself (some kind of glitch) or a problem in the script.

and it should be that in the Links field not the films are displayed, but a link (pic.1) to the IMDB page (pic. 2)?

And what is wrong here in your opinion. I don't see anything wrong here. There should be a link to the Connections website and a list of all areas and the number of hits in one area (as in the attached image9 below). The exception is only one area, where there is only a link to the Connections website.
In my opinion, the list of films should be expanded there. And not transferred to the browser. As it was before in the main menu of the PVD. This is a big plus. You can immediately see which films from the collection the new product intersects with. Thank you!

I think I found the reason why it's not working for you. It's likely that the following Python libraries are not installed.
Quote
pip install requests beautifulsoup4

Do this:
Quote
Open a terminal or command prompt:
On Windows: search for "cmd" or "PowerShell".

Type the following in the command prompt to install the appropriate library:
Quote
pip install requests beautifulsoup4

Once this is installed, it should work. I know this from my own experience on Win11, where it didn't work before, just like you. But when I installed this library, everything worked without problems with Geckodriver, which is added to the same Scripts folder where the scripts are already.

I will also send you a new version of your !PersonalVideoDB program, where everything is already set up to work with Geckodriver.
Hi. Hurray, it helped!!!! I pressed REPEAT (sic!) 2-3 times while loading the information and everything loaded. Almost. For some reason the line "Also known as" is empty. Although you have it filled in for the same film. The "Also known as" mark is set in the plugin settings...
Many thanks for the help and resuscitation of PVD!!!!
P.S. And the last question. For today ;-). And for TV series it doesn't work yet?

Even searching for the movie title is not correct, as you can see below.

Here, it reports an error that you don't have an internet connection. This means that the Selenium_Chrome_Base_page_v4.py script does not allow you to continue downloading the downpage-UTF8_NO_BOM.htm file. Apparently, the problem is possible in Win7 or you have blocked access to download information from the Imdb page or in the Selenium_Chrome_Base_page_v4.py script itself, where something is written in the Selenium_Chrome_Base_page_v4.py script code that blocks you from continuing the download process of the entire source code of the IMDb base page.

For me, it continues normally, as you can see below.

To potentially fix the problem, I would advise you to use, for example, ChatGPT, which uses AI. Perhaps you will be able to solve your problems with PVD with its help.

I have Windows 10. I have added everything possible to the firewall permissions. chromedriver.exe, Python, SeleniumPVDbScriptsConfig-v4.exe, Selenium_Chrome_Base_page_v4.py. I have disabled the antivirus. I have turned VPN on and off. Nothing helps. It is a shame that when using old IMDB scripts, the files downpage-UTF8_NO_BOM.htm and downimage-BIN-Poster.jpg are created. Note: this has never happened with any program. Too bad..... The old IMDB scripts have stopped downloading information in recent months, and the new ones do not work for me. RIP...

Did you run portable.bat, which runs in debug mode in the program folder and what is written in the log file.

Quote
A. You installed python
You installed Python, that's ok.

Quote
B. You installed selenium by
Run cmd as administrator and then enter the following
Quote
pip install selenium
to install selenium for you and then enter the rest, to update to the latest version, if necessary.

If it still doesn't work, the problem is somewhere else.  I don't know how else to help, unfortunately.

It works without problems on Win10 64 bit for me.
no. it doesn't work...  :'( :'( :'( :'(

11
I am sending you !PersonalVideoDB, which is updated to the latest PVD 1.0.2.7 MOD version. The new updated !PersonalVideoDB is now in portable debug version, so now run it with portable.bat file and the log file will have all the data about the operation, as in the currently attached log file. All redundant files are attached in the (Nova mapa) New Folder files, in case you need them.
Unfortunately, the result is the same. If I understood correctly, then during the import of information in the TMP folder, temporary files should be created. But they are not there. Neither during the operation of the PVD, nor after. I launched the PVD with administrator rights, disabled the antivirus. Nothing helps.

12
No, it's not necessary, my default browser is Mozilla Firefox.

Yes, I received your !PersonalVideoDB program by email.

By the way, I tested your !PersonalVideoDB program a little, it works for certain movies, but it doesn't work for the movie Al Final Del Túnel. We'll see what's wrong here, because on my test PVD with chromedriver it works and transfers the information to the database.

After I do some more tests, I'll send you back a tested version of your !PersonalVideoDB program.
Thank You!!

ok. Python is installed. Chrome (latest version) is present. All Selenium scripts are present. I don't need to register anything additionally myself. Then why is there always the same message and a complete lack of information? Why aren't there even temporary swap files in the \Scripts\Tmp\ folder. Although they are present when using NON-Selenium scripts. I even tried to turn on VPN due to the peculiarities of the Internet in the country. Zero...  ??? ??? ??? ???
Can I send you an archive of my PVD (without a database)? 40 Mb...

Yes, you can send it to this email address below.

ivan.rupnik@amis.net
Sent. By the way, should chrome be the default browser on a computer? I have a different main browser.

What version (source) of Python do you recommend? So that there is nothing extra.

One of the ones listed below, it is best to use Python 3.12.10.

Python 3.13.3, 3.12.10, 3.11.12

I am using Python 3.13.3 and it works great.

Also read this Python (+Selenium) Chrome general script topic for help.
Sorry, but this is a dark forest for me. Install Chrome and Python - yes, I can. Copy scripts - I can too. But I can't edit the paths in the scripts myself. I can't even figure out what to do with selenium_script-Chrome.py. Just copy it to the \pvd\Scripts\ folder? Maybe it's possible to put EVERYTHING you need into one package, so that it's already in the archive in the right folders?

Besides, I can't figure it out. Do I need to do any other manipulations with these scripts after or before running PVD? Or, if everything is already installed and all the paths are specified, then the information is downloaded as usual? I ran PVD, selected a movie, ran the import script...

if possible, describe this line point by point
FileExecute ('pythonw.exe', '"' + ScriptPath + 'selenium_script-Chrome.py" "' + URL + '" "' + ScriptPath + BASE_DOWNLOAD_FILE_NO_BOM + '"');

1, Here is my path to "python" c:\Users\хххх\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python313\pythonw.exe"
2, My path to "chromedriver.exe" and to "selenium_script-Chrome.py"
e:\Film\!PersonalVideoDB\Scripts\
What will the fully specified path look like in my case, in which file should it be specified and on which line of this file?

HELP! HELP! HELP!!!  :'(

17
should the file "chromedriver.exe" also be in the folder "\pvd\Scripts\"?

Yes, it must be, otherwise it won't work.

You have Google Chrome and Python installed on your computer. If you don't have it, install it, otherwise you have a problem somewhere else on your computer that is not allowing you to download information from the IMDb site. Maybe there are some settings or something else that is blocking you from downloading information from the IMDb site.

Do you see any python script txt log files in the Scripts\Tmp folder.

What version (source) of Python do you recommend? So that there is nothing extra.

18
I can see from the log file that there is no internet connection, which is why it is not transferring any information to you.

Below is the Scripts - What scripts do you need file, which has all the necessary folders and files that you must have in the Scripts folder of the PVD program, except for the chromedriver.exe file, which can be found at the links below in the quote section.

Quote
Chromedriver:
1. chromedriver   win32   https://storage.googleapis.com/chrome-for-testing-public/134.0.6998.88/win32/chromedriver-win32.zip
2. chromedriver   win64   https://storage.googleapis.com/chrome-for-testing-public/134.0.6998.88/win64/chromedriver-win64.zip

Unzip the Scripts - What scripts do you need file and then check if you also have all the files in your folder at D:\Game\pvd\Scripts\ plus the chromedriver.exe file. If you are missing something, first make a copy of the original Scripts folder, then add the missing files to the original Scripts folder or copy the entire Scripts folder from the Scripts - What scripts do you need file. Then you will see if it works for you, because for me it normally transfers all the information to the PVD database.
should the file "chromedriver.exe" also be in the folder "\pvd\Scripts\"?

Tried to copy "chromedriver.exe" both to the SCRIPT folder and to the root of the PVD folder - no difference. Information is not imported. Plus - deleted all old scripts and left only selenium files. Information is not imported. And a constant message (screenshot)

https://www.videodb.info/forum_en/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=4379.0;attach=7427

This is described a few posts above

Here is an updated, modified and adapted IMDB_Movies_[EN][Selenium]-v4.psf , where only one custom field is used in certain parts of the code, rather than multiple duplicated custom fields, which then do not transfer the correct information or, possibly, do not transfer any information at all. However, some parts of the code or redundant parts of the code log files are blocked, because they are not used at all and only unnecessarily increase the size of the script. However, parts of the code are unblocked and should be, because they only slow down the script and a pop-up window appears with the Too many faulty attempts to internet connection notification
other archives are obtained.

As far as I can see, you are using IMDB_Movie_[EN][Selenium]-v4, which is missing the updates that are causing these issues.

You should use my updated IMDB_Movies_[EN][Selenium]-v4 script and SeleniumPVDbScriptsConfig-v4.ini file. Maybe then you won't have these issues.
where can I find them on the forum? Everything is so scattered now, unfortunately. I took this archive https://www.videodb.info/forum_en/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=4379.0;attach=7415

in the pvd folder there is only one log file - firebird.log. And there is no debug information. There is also log.txt, but it is empty
