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.

Is there a newer version of the IMDB script than IMDB_[EN][HTTPS]_TEST_2c.psf?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.

Hello! I'm trying to make it work with this new system, but when I go to scripts.7z Windows flags SeleniumPVDbScriptsConfig-v4.exe as a threat and won't let me unzip

You probably mean the anti-virus program. It's a known issue, from my experiences with the NOD32 Antivirus program it was the same. The solution was when the antivirus program quarantined the SeleniumPVDbScriptsConfig-v4.exe file, I put it back out of quarantine and excluded it from being scanned again by the antivirus program. If necessary, I always repeated the described procedure and thus prevented it from being quarantined again by the antivirus program.

If it still won't be possible to unpack the file, let me know and I'll help you do it another way.

And this notice.

You need the SeleniumPVDbScriptsConfig-v4.exe file to be able to configure the script for transferring information.

It is very likely that the IMDb scripts will not work.

I was asking what scripts you are using to pull data now.


Thank you .

Sorry, but I'm not currently using any scripts or anything that uses Python to download data. I'm not currently working on PVD, which uses Python scripts to download data from the IMDb websites.

As you mentioned below, which I already wrote a few months ago.

I don't know what's going on, because I'm not using any IMDB_Movies_[EN][Selenium]-v4 script versions at the moment. And I won't be using them for quite some time. afrocuban user has been away for quite some time, so he can fix these scripts as best he can, because he knows the design of these scripts. He'll probably be away for quite some time, and the question here is how long it will be before he returns.

Hello Ivek23,

can you tell us what combination of scripts what are you using ?

Since you are in the Python scripts section, you must first have Python and its plugins installed. You can find what and how to install Python in the sticky topics and documentation mentioned above. You also need gecko or chrome driver to run Python scripts.

Then you need the following files, Python scripts and programs listed below in the PVD Scripts folder.

- BE_PATIENT_PLEASE-DOWNLOADING_DATA file

 - NoImage2AvailableForPVD.png
 - NoPhoto2AvailableForPVD.png

 - purge_tmp_files.vbs

 - IMDB_Movies_[EN][Selenium]-v4.psf
 - IMDB_Movies_[EN][Selenium]-v4.bak
 - SeleniumPVDbMovieScriptsConfig-v4.psf
 - SeleniumPVDbPeopleScriptsConfig-v4.psf

 - Selenium_Chrome_Base_page_v4.py
 - Selenium_Chrome_DownloadImage-v4.py
 - Selenium_Chrome_IMDB_Episode_List_page_v4.py
 - Selenium_Chrome_Movie_Additional_pages_v4.py
 - Selenium_Chrome_People_Additional_pages_v4.py
 - Selenium_Chrome_Search-v4.py

 - SeleniumPVDbScriptsConfig-v4.ahk
 - seleniumpvdbscriptsconfig-v4.exe
 - SeleniumPVDbScriptsConfig-v4.ini

 - chromedriver.exe or geckodriver.exe

The above is what you need for PVD and Python scripts to work. Whether this still works is another question, because certain parts of the source code of the IMDb pages have changed.

If you want or use the Firefox browser, let me know, so I can attach Python scripts with Firefox settings and geckodriver.exe .
