Personal Video Database

IMDB_[EN][HTTPS]_TEST_1b script some new custom fields.

Some IMDb url links can now be found in the existing IMDb Movie Url memo box.

Some IMDb url links can now be found in the new Custom IMDbExternalSitesUrl memo box.

You also have IMDb url links to search results in the new Custom IMDbSearchUrl memo box.

You also have IMDb url links that are stored in the WaybackArchive and can be found in the new Custom WaybackArchive IMDb URLs memo box.

Here is the current IMDB_[EN][HTTPS]_TEST_1b script that is currently working. However, there is a possibility that tomorrow or the day after tomorrow some things may not be transferred by the script, because parts of the code in the source code of the IMDb websites change very often.

However, there have been major changes in the source code of the IMDb websites, and in some places it is possible to download only 6 items for a certain area. Such an example is primarily Also Known As (AKA).

Below are links to specific IMDb web pages with such examples.

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0147800/releaseinfo/

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0147800/companycredits/

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0147800/movieconnections/

Most such IMDb websites will no longer be included in IMDB_[EN][HTTPS] script updates in the future. Individual specific IMDB_[EN][HTTPS] scripts will also no longer be updated. For example, the IMDB_[EN][HTTPS]_(Connections) script will not be updated in the future. Another similar IMDb script may meet the same fate.

There are some new features in the IMDB_[EN][HTTPS]_TEST_1b script.

Function ParsePage_IMDBMovieAKA transfers only 6 records. If you don't want this, then you can change it manually in the Retreive Data Config area.
  GET_FULL_AKA  = True ;  //Download 'Also Known As' provider page for retreive the info. Otherwise only the info of the principal movie page.
  //GET_FULL_AKA  = False ;  //Download 'Also Known As' provider page for retreive the info. Otherwise only the info of the principal movie page.
Function ParsePage_IMDBMoviePLOTSUMMARY is now primarily blocked and does not transfer any information because many times the Synopsis field is empty. If you don't want this, then you can change it manually in the Retreive Data Config area. You also have the option to have the GET_FULL_PLOT_SYNOPSIS function transfer or not transfer the Synopsis info and Custom IMDB Synopsis memo box. There is also a Custom Plot Summary memo box.
//  GET_FULL_PLOTSUMMARY  = True ;  //Download Plot provider page for retreive the Summaries info. Otherwise only the info of the principal movie page 
  GET_FULL_PLOTSUMMARY  = False ;  //Download Plot provider page for retreive the Summaries info. Otherwise only the info of the principal movie page   
  GET_FULL_PLOT_SYNOPSIS  = True ;  //Set to True if to wanted to Download full synopsis for Plot provider page for retreive the Synopsis info in Custom IMDB Synopsis box.
//  GET_FULL_PLOT_SYNOPSIS  = False ;  //Set to True if to wanted to Download full synopsis for Plot provider page for retreive the Synopsis info in Custom IMDB Synopsis box.
  GET_FULL_PLOT  = True ;  //Set to True if to wanted to Download full synopsis for Plot provider page for retreive the Plot info in Custom Plot Summary box.
//  GET_FULL_PLOT  = False ;  //Set to True if to wanted to Download full synopsis for Plot provider page for retreive the Plot info in Custom Plot Summary box.

Hello

 
Thank you for not giving up Personal Video Database.

Could you send a link to the latest program updates?

I will be extremely grateful to you! ))

 
Lyudmila (aka Lyu Iouk)

Hello. As for the latest updates to the program, there are quite a few new things here. Personal Video Database MOD version is now used and all script updates are made for this version.

I recommend you download it from the tele Blog VVV_Easy website at this link below.

http://vvveasy.altervista.org/personal-video-database/?doing_wp_cron=1525497049.1403949260711669921875

You will find the link there at this address:

PVD_1.0.2.7_MOD-V20191020.zip

If I send you links to the latest script updates, it will probably ask you to login first before downloading the updated scripts.

And this recommendation:

If you cannot log in to the English part of the forum, then register again and send me your registration information so that I can activate your account.

The IMDB_[EN][HTTPS] script no longer downloads certain information for movies because there have been major changes in the source code of certain web pages. The script only downloads information from the basic Movies page. It currently also downloads information from the Full Cast & Crew, Awards and Plot Keywords web pages. Here, too, there will be changes in the source code sometime by the end of February. Currently, it still downloads movies information from the Reference View website for movies, but it's only a matter of time how long this will be, because the Reference View website is supposed to be discontinued in the near future, unfortunately for us of course.

There will be many problems for corrections in the IMDB_[EN][HTTPS] script, it is also possible that certain web pages and the transfer of information will no longer be possible in the future.

Here are IMDB_[EN][HTTPS]_Search script, which searches for movie results for feature, tv movie, video, and IMDB_[EN][HTTPS]_Search a script, which, in addition to the above, also finds results for series. Scripts download some basic information for movies or series. 

There is also an Imdb_[HTTPS]_Bing_Search script to find results using Bing search and display up to 50 hits. If there is already a url link, the script will search again and display the search list for this movies or series. The Imdb_[HTTPS]_Bing_Search script only works in PVD MOD versions with the help of the curl program, otherwise it is currently not possible to edit the script and to download the search results with Bing Search.

Scripts is attached.

There is also TheMovieDB_[API] script which works in a similar way to the tmdb.dll plugin. This script displays a list of search results for a specific movie (same as the tmdb.dll plugin). Downloading the results is the same as with the other TheMovieDB_[API] script, except that the posters are from the no language group, where there are neutral posters without any language.

The custom fields are the same as the rest of TheMovieDB_[API] script except for the two new ones mentioned below.

The new custom fields are as follows:

TMDb_APIPage 1 (Custom memo field) - added link to specific TheMoviedbAPIPage web page for specific movie.

Posters 0 (Custom memo field) - added links to all posters for specific movie.

Posters Numbers 1 (Custom Short list field) - added to Posters Numbers for specific movie in all language.

---

Changes:

The change is also in the size of the downloaded posters in all TheMovieDB_[API] scripts, that instead of the original, it is now this size due to the acquisition of space in the PVD database, which in turn means easier operation of the PVD MOD program.
//ItemValue:=BASE_URL_IMAGE+ItemValue;
ItemValue:='http://image.tmdb.org/t/p/w342' +ItemValue;             //WEB_SPECIFIC. w45,w92,w185,w300,w342,original.

TheMovieDB_[API] script is attached.

In TheMovieDB API pages, there has been a certain change in both the search results and the API movies pages in the source code. Because of this, searching for results when the IMDB MovieID for a specific movie is not known did not work. Also, the downloads for some information downloads did not work, so these fields were empty.

Now these errors have been fixed in all TheMovieDB API scripts, and some custom fields have been added.

The new custom fields are as follows:

TMDb_APIPage (Custom memo field) - added link to specific TheMoviedbAPIPage web page for specific movie.

TMDb.com (Custom memo field) - added link to normal specific TheMoviedbPage web page for specific movie.

TMDb Posters (Custom memo field) - added link to normal specific TMDb.com Posters web page for specific movie, where it is possible to see if any poster for your country has been added.

TMDb Status (Custom Multiselect list field) - added to movie status for specific movie.

TheMoviedb_Rating (Custom Rating field) - added to Rating for specific movie.

TMDb Features (Custom memo field) - added to TMDb Features for specific movie.

Set URL (Custom memo field) - added link to normal specific Collection TheMoviedbPage web page for specific movie.

Posters (Custom memo field) - added links to all posters for specific movie.

Posters Numbers (Custom Short list field) - added to Posters Numbers for specific movie in specific language script.

Changes:

Made a change to the Updated custom field. It is now renamed to TMDB Updated custom field.

Made a change to the CHANGE LOG description. This is now located at the bottom of the script.

Apparently, December 9 left consequences on the forum. Users can no longer see the Reply button on the toolbar, and it is therefore not possible to post new comments. This may maybe only happen to certain users. Therefore, if there are any problems, you can send me in this email address.

It's good news. this is the 10th year since nostra abandoned the project and it is still alive at first to ivek! Thank you.

Thank you

Would it be a good idea to put the info on the front page for a backup location when this site dies?

In this case, I am asking users who know how to make a backup of the entire forum at this Personal Video Database alternate Forum backup location or somewhere else to say so or even do it.

Sorry to hear. hopefully everything will go well!

Thanks.
