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!!!

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.

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.

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)

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.

PVD must be running in debug mode, otherwise the log file is empty and add this below to the portable.bat file.

start viddb.exe -portable -debug

installed. This message still appears and the information is not loaded.
log file attached.

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
