PVD 0.9.9.21 not getting movie information.
« on: January 24, 2013, 03:30:21 am »
Hi,

I just updated to 0.9.9.21 and all of a sudden it stopped downloading movie information.   Even if I manually put in the correct URL from IMDB the status bar at the bottom shows it connecting, but then it stops and nothing is downloaded.
Thanks,

Mitch

Do you have the latest Imdb movie plugin updated to version 0.9.8.8 ?

Yep. ;)

It downloads them every time I start the program, but I also downloaded them manually from the site. I think they were dated in Dec 12 if memory serves.
Thanks,

Hi,

I just double checked and am sure that both the program itself and the IMDB plugin are both the latest version. 

I'm thinking of downloading and installing an older version of the program and see if it works.   Any possible conflicts with an older program and newer plugins?
Thanks,

Mitch

Got it.  Problem solved.

I was searching previous posts and found one (http://www.videodb.info/forum_en/index.php/topic,3277.0.html) where the user was told to update the scripts.

Turns out that was not auto-updated like everything else.  When I manually selected all EN (English) scripts for update, that fixed the problem.

So perhaps the problem all along was that those were NOT updating.   Hmmmmm.

Thanks.
Thanks,

Mitch

Updating scripts will have no impact on the IMDb plugin. If updating scripts fixed anything, it could only be one of the scripts you updated.

Yea, I think that was the issue all along.   For some reason, all the plugin's were updating as normal by themselves, but the scrips were/are not.
Thanks,

Mitch

IMDb appears to have added "/reference" to the end of URLs for the old display format.  If you add that manually in PVD's URL field, it works.

Had the same problem and this fixed it. Thanks Hyomil. Will use this for the meantime. :)

But it still doesn't download the full credits. The actors and director on the first page are the only ones downloaded. The others (writers, producers etc) are not included.

Imdb movie plugin does not transfer any more data, except url address.

Imdb movie plugin 0.9.8.8

PVD 0.9.9.21 or 1.0.23 beta

Yes, the changes at IMDb must have been more extensive than just the URL.  Examples:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0100195/reference
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0098668/reference

Country and Original Language aren't downloaded.  Writers and Directors are, however, so please include a link to one where they aren't to test.

Thanks, but I tested Imdb Movie(1) v 0.1.0.4 on the URLs I listed and Country and Original Language still aren't imported.  Are they working for you?

This works in the old script as well

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0101700/fullcredits

to get music and production credits

But I can't get the new IMDB scripts to work at all. Being pretty new to this, do I need to do more than just replacing the old batch/scipt with the new ones at the appropiate places in the folder Personal Video Database 0.9.9.21\?

Thanks,

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0098668/reference

This is now working, so I organized a url ending with "reference".

Code: [Select]
//Get ~mfURL~ or ~IMDb Url~
endPos := Pos('fullcredits" data-ql="">Full Cast and Crew</option>', HTML);
if endPos > 0 then begin
curPos := PrevPos('<option value="/title/', HTML, endPos);
MovieURL := BASE_URL + Copy(HTML, curPos+15, endPos - curPos-4);
MovieURL := StringReplace(MovieURL, 'fullcredits', 'reference', true, true, true);
AddFieldValue(mfURL, MovieURL);
end;

I attach Imdb Movie(0) script to download url, as a solution to the problems until Nostra Imdb Movie plugin will not repair.

I attach also Imdb Movie (0) + imdb Batch file.

This updated version does insert "/reference" at the end of the URL, but it still doesn't import the data.  Adding "/fullcredits" doesn't work either.  Nor does CTRL+Deleting the entry and trying it fresh.

Using PVD v0.9.9.21

This works in the old script as well

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0101700/fullcredits

to get music and production credits

But I can't get the new IMDB scripts to work at all. Being pretty new to this, do I need to do more than just replacing the old batch/scipt with the new ones at the appropiate places in the folder Personal Video Database 0.9.9.21\?

AFAIK.  Just make sure you're using the new script instead of the plugin, which may still be the default, depending on your settings in Preferences.  The plugin appears on the Import menu as "IMDB," whereas the script is "Imdb."  Someone suggested in another thread running the plugin and then the script, but that didn't help.

Even with the new script by Ivek, it doesn't work for me. I get "HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found" error.

Patience everytime Imdb changes something....

I do not know why some other users have problems with my script, because the script work properly, or if the script does not work properly, do not attached.

I use what is described under each of my post.
