Python (+Selenium) scripts and PVD Selenium MOD IMDb Movie, People and FilmAffinity Scripts.

PVD Selenium MOD IMDb Movie, People and FilmAffinity Scripts only when or if an Afrocuban user comes back and updates them and they can be used again.

The Afrocuban user will probably not return. A few days ago I sent an email to his email address, which is listed in his profile, but so far I have not received any response that the message was received at his email. We will see what happens.

Good news.

afrocuban user is back.

More information on when and how the new versions of PVD Selenium MOD for IMDb Movie, People and FilmAffinity Scripts will be released can be found at the link below.

Scripts and Templates / Re: Export template: HTML List (English + German)

Hello to all of you,

I haven't been here for a long time. Work and especially family have completely taken over. But I'm still using PVD myself and it's nice to see there is still at least some life in here. Big thanks to Ivek23, I think. It is a great pity that Nostra has put PVD on ice. I really hope he is doing well despite all the current upheavals in the world and that his reasons behind his absence are of a similarly positive nature as those for mine...

Some time ago, I've noticed that large parts of the JavaScript in the HTML frames export template no longer work (at least if exported files are local and not hosted on a domain). The reason is the "same origin policy" that became general standard and that browsers may treat all file:/// URIs as unique origins. In this case, JavaScript in iFrames is no longer allowed to directly access parts of their parents and vice versa. In the exported database, this affects filters, the search function and most of the extras added by pimpHTMLframesExport.exe (which can be found in the subfolder \pimpHTMLframesExport after the export). I fixed this, but tested only in Firefox. The new export templates are attached.

All the kindest wishes to those still here!

Thanks svenne. It's allways great to hear family takes first pace. Updated template works flawlessly. I wanted to ask you if you're willing to help with lastDino's template too, if that is viable for you. Thank you in advance!

Soon, /reference page will be changed too. I know because I got popups offering me to peek to a new "Reference" page. So, until that happen, I will not update scripts, because both pages will share the same code again, and it will be easier to change.


Hello to all. As I already said in March, now we all know that this happened. I was busy meanwhile and had no time to deal with it. There are changes across many imdb pages, but reference page is the culprit. I will need couple of months to fix it, since you all know that I am not a programer, and I have to remind my self about everything, especially about special cases. For now, you can pull up significant portion of data
without reference page (unfortunately, not the whole cast). To do that and if you are using my scripts, open Script configurator, uncheck to download Reference page and PVD will restart. Then, in "Set Overwrite options...", check all the data you would want to download (Studio, etc..) and restart PVD. Then run the script and this would be what you can get at the moment.

After March, I had some minor adjustments to the scripts and started to work on a Reference page, so I'm uploading them so you could get the same amount data as me. Backup your existing scripts, then overwrite them with these, all to "Scripts" folder. Reminder: these scripts are just starting point to fix them, but they should get you more data comparing to March scripts could get you now, so please do not ask for the support for these scripts. I know they don't fully work.


What should be promising for you is that I'm not planning to abandon using PVD, so I will for sure fix the scripts at some point, so please be patient: if long time no see me, that just means I also haven't fixed the scripts, and I'm working on them. Meanwhile, just add your movies to PVD and later you will update with full data. That is exactly what I've been doing recently.

Best regards

There is a possibility that I may, as much as possible, update the IMDB_[EN] [HTTPS] _Test version script by the end of the year. The update will then be a bit limited, because it will not be possible to completely download all the information, but only what is visible on the IMDb website. On some pages you can see 5 or at most 6 visible records due to the limitation.

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.

No, there is no newer version of the script IMDB_[EN][HTTPS]_TEST_2c.psf and unfortunately there will probably be no more updates to the script.

The reason there will be no more new updates is the source code of the IMDb page and also the large number of pages where it is no longer possible to transfer all information with this type of script, because there is a limit of 5 or a maximum of 6 visible records.
