1. I know nothing about scripting, just using common sense. Unfortunately, it is not possible to put all scripts into one script, Ivek already told us that - some because they need proxomitron, some for other (coding, as I understood) reasons. We discussed all that very recently. What is needed is to read, read and read before asking. Then, one can say, I've read a lot on the forum, but couldn't find an answer for...

1. Very sorry. As for viewing previous messages, as I already wrote, I have to use a translator, so I can hardly track what is being discussed on the forum. Especially until June 2020. And therefore, my requests may repeat what was discussed in your thread earlier. Excuse me.
2.The "CATEGORY" field is not filled in for films (for example, The Place "http://www.imdb.com/title/tt7063210/", Skyscraper "http://www.imdb.com/title/tt5758778/", Roma "http://www.imdb.com/title/tt6155172/" etc.) nor for serials. Although all items are specially marked in the script properties.
3. There is no item to control the "COMMENTS" field in the script properties. It's somewhere in the script itself. I have to make sure every time that the information I need is not lost when the program is updated.
4. With the message that Nostra is dead, maybe I got excited. Now I looked through the messages from Djek-ural again and did not find any records about it there. But, anyway, after 2015 Nostra completely abandoned the program. And after him the rest of the moderators-programmers left. Only thanks to Djek-ural the program was supported in the Russian thread of the forum.

Thank you.

Why didn't you try from the beginning as written above? Why don't you mention "Imdb Movie(episodelist) (a).psf" and "Imdb Movie(episodelist).psf" scripts? From 1-4 you will get list of episodes with these 2 scripts. No other scripts will get you list of episodes 5-5a will get you series info. 6-7a will get you each episode detailed info if you want that , as it's all written above.

1) "Imdb Movie (episodelist) (a) .psf" doesn't download anything at all. Only "Imdb Movie (episodelist) .psf" works.
2) All this boring conversation I started and continue with only one goal. Here, only you and Ivek understand something about scripting. Is it really impossible to create ONE script to download information about a sitcom? I am satisfied with the amount of information that is obtained using "IMDB_ [EN] [HTTPS] (series)". Can I edit it so that it downloads the "seasons" + "episodes" list as well (as shown in fig. "IMDB_ [EN] [HTTPS] (series) + Imdb Movie (episodelist).jpg")? Do you really like to turn on / off the "127.0.0.1" setting? Best regards and thanks for your patience.
P.S. by the way, the scripts "IMDB_ [EN] [HTTPS]" and "IMDB_ [EN] [HTTPS] (series)" stopped filling the "CATEGORY" field.   

This topic was meant for sharing batch files.

On THIS you asked for it and I answered you there what you have to do in order to get what you want.

I don't know why didn't you do what I wrote there.

I understand it. And, yes, I saw your post (THIS). Sorry. Thank you. And as for your BAT files.... It seems to me that it is not enough to place any BAT files without demonstrating (screen) how the downloaded information will look in PVD. Indeed, for information for some of the scripts there is not even fields in the classic shell of the program. We need new kits of skins with fields for additional information (for example, Rottentomatoes). And, as I said, your BAT files contain scripts that cannot be found on the forum (FilmAffinity_ [EN] [HTTPS] -afrocuban.psf), or you have to spend a lot of effort to understand their versions and revisions (AllMovie.com HTTPS.psf). Previously, all scripts and plugins (as well as skins) were placed on the Downloads page. But with the death of the author, this tradition was forgotten. Especially in the English version of PVD.

You have to apply scripts at the exact order as I wrote on the other topic. Then, you will get everything.

In what sense is "exact order"?  In the case shown above, your BAT file is used. This can be seen from the "IMPORT (импорт)" window. But I can't download the list of "seasons" and "episodes" even if I only use the script "IMDB_ [EN] [HTTPS] (series) .psf" or "IMDB_ [EN] [HTTPS] (episodes) .psf". In both cases, it is empty. Could this be related to the settings of the program itself?  Thank You!!!!

I am not sure what you mean, you have to have those links in your Scripts folder.

Excuse me.  Just opened the first file, and there is a link to your script "FilmAffinity_ [EN] [HTTPS] -afrocuban.psf". By the way, I did not find a link to it. In addition, I saw on the forum other scripts under your editorship. So I figured that all other files contain links to such scripts. My puncture .. 

Sorry, but please explain briefly again - which script should import information about the series itself and the list of seasons and episodes for it: "IMDB_ [EN] [HTTPS] (episodes).psf" or "IMDB_ [EN] [HTTPS] (series).psf"? I have ONLY old Imdb Movie (episodelist).psf working. And for him you have to turn on the proxomitron...

If the settings of the PVD program for work through the proxomitron are ON, then when using "IMDB_ [EN] [HTTPS] .psf" ALL fields remain empty. When the option 127.0.0.1 is disabled, the fields are filled. Is there something wrong with your computer's network settings?

SOS. All scripts related to the PVdBDownPage module stopped working for me. You can see that it starts up (! Pic1). And nothing more. After half a minute, a message appears about a large number of invalid Internet connections (! Pic2). I absolutely do not understand what this is connected with. Neither in the Windows settings nor in the modem settings changed anything !!! Guard!!! Note, I have not seen any problems with the Internet connection yet. A week ago, everything was normal. It seems to me that the module is blocked by something, but I have no idea how.

How can I make sure that the IMDB scripts do not span two posters? Moreover, they are absolutely the same !!! What settings should the scripts have? Script versions have been updated to the latest. Thanks.

Namely, what you have in the poster box is a bit unusual for the PVD v1.0.2.7 version.
If you are using any PVD v1.0.2.7 version, you may have a maximum of only one poster per movie in the poster field.

You can mark a poster field in PVD settings so that the poster has a dark field (then downloaded the posters if the poster field is empty in the database) or mark the field with a tick (it will overwrite the poster) or without it (there will be no poster transfer).

Do a test to see what will happen, otherwise I will need more information about the Imdb script and the PVD version you are using.

Excuse me, but what in the settings of the PVD program itself is responsible for importing the poster? I only see the settings for where the posters should be stored. I previously dealt only with the KINOPOISK script, and there it was changed by the TRUE or FALSE parameter in the script itself.
I am using version PVD_1.0.2.7_MOD-V20191020 and IMDB_ [EN] [HTTPS] V 1.4.1.5 script without any changes.

IMDB_ [EN] [HTTPS] scripts do not yet have such an option in poster settings in scripts as in the KINOPOISK script. This option may be added for future IMDB_ [EN] [HTTPS] script updates. These are the settings for posters in PVD settings (see image) if you do not want to have posters from IMDB web pages.

I seem to have wondered why two identical posters appear. If the "REWRIT" checkbox is selected in the script settings, the program compresses two posters. If "IF EMPTY" is checked - only one poster. It should not be.
