Thanx for the great work.



Sorry for the delay
I've added an option for it now (variable #44#).

I updated the script to use your code for taking the "movie ID" now
The only thing I changed was this line:
#COMPUTECURSOR#=+48
when that was used then it missed the first number in the movie ID and the consequence was that the script didn't take all the information and it also made the "UPDATE MODE 3" not work.
So I changed it to:
#COMPUTECURSOR#=+47
And it works like it should. Thanks for sharing your code

lovely work you are doing on this script.

I am wondering if there is anyway to:
==> stop the import list from showing the entries which have(VG)after the title. I guess these are VIEDO GAMES, and I would rather have a seperate script if I wanted to import video games.

thanks again for your hard work on scripts.

Trying to download "Max (2002/I)" causes the following error while importing
the specific movie:

Error on Script Expression: The #FINDLINE# Instruction is not complete !Line : 661

Try to download the script again and import without making any changes to the script.
Did that work?

If it did then I suspect that it's this line that you have problem with:


The character before "awaiting 5 votes." is a linebreak and you have probably made changes in the script (maybe you changed some options?). Then when you saved the script it didn't save the right character but inserted a "real" linebreak instead.
So when the script runs it reads the command as:
#FINDLINE#=</b>
instead of like it is in the picture.

If you did make changes to the script which you saved what program did you use to edit the script with?

Thank you

Yes I guess it would be possible to modify the script to not show the video games (VG) entries but I'm not sure that it's worth the effort. In my experience it rarely shows any VG (but I guess it depends on what kind of movies you have).

Is it distractive to have the VG entries in the list? Do you get many VG entries when you're importing?
Can you give me an example to search for?

Only thing I changed was the actors number for download from all to just 8.

I used PSPad to edit the script.

But the problem is not my editor. I used the default script without touching
it and the problem was still there! BTW, I haven't updated yet to the new
version. I'm using v2.9b4 on WinXP Pro Eng SP2 if that helps.

that Alessio posted on the main page

@pdavit
Maybe my explaination wasn't that good let me try to explain again what is wrong.
After I read that you used the program PSPad I installed it and checked.
PSPad changes how the linebreaks are in the scriptfile but Notepad doesn't.

Try this: Open the script with Notepad and search for "awaiting 5 votes" and you will find the line that is the trouble.

Here is how it should look when viewed in Notepad:


Here's how it looks in Notepad after you open the script in PSPad and save the file:
(doesn't matter if you changed something or not as long as you saved the file)
This causes the error since the #FINDLINE# command has now been split in to two rows instead of one.


Does the scriptfile look like the first or the second picture when you view the script in Notepad?

PS.. Isn't that a UNIX EOL character in that script problem U are trying to debug for another person in this thread ?
Thank you

Yes F_B tnx for reply.

Ok , I had a comment here, but deleted it as now that I used your new script with changes so that TITLE (YEAR) shows, it also shows TITLE (VG), in the selection window, so I no longer have to worry about this problem.

I can't do any more test work on the script right now as the IMDB files are DL'ing @ 0.9 KB for me. Everyone must be looking for Xmas rentals. LOL

I hope the Slow download was due to IMDB heavyload, but can't tell if it has to do with the script, as this is 1st time I use it. The time to get this one movie was 5 minutes. (I did 500 movies last week with your previous script and am on 6mbit cable connection, so that is not the problem)

============= SCRIPT QUESTIONS =============
I tested with Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life (2003)

I do notice something odd. Your previous script gave all the information I wanted. This new one(22DEC2004) failed to DL the following:
1) Plot
2) Tagline
3) Studio
4) Official Web
5) Region
6) Edition
7) Screen Ratio
8) Audio Format (here only one odd solid rectangle character was entered).
9) Comments

These are the options I set:
// #30# = The dividing string that is used in the movietitlelist.
    #PUT#=-------------------------------------#30#
    // #31# = Web address for iMDB that is used by the script when it collects the information.
    #PUT#=http://www.imdb.com#31#
    // #32# = The number of actors you want the script to take.
    // "All available" = 0
    #PUT#=10#32#
    // #33# = Take the "iMDB name" of actors and directors. Like this "Stephen Fisher (I)".
    // If this is enabled the script will be much slower but it's very useful if you
    // add the actors to the "actors database" because they get unique names.
    // "Enable"  = 1
    // "Disable" = 0
    #PUT#=0#33#
    // #34# = Take the "iMDB name" of producers, writers, photographer, musicians. Like this "Stephen Fisher (I)".
    // "Enable"  = 1
    // "Disable" = 0
    #PUT#=0#34#
    // #35# = Set to the maximum amount of "genres" (categories) the script should take.
    // If you want the "genres" only to have the first genre and the rest to be placed in "subgenres"
    // then you should set this to "1" and set the #36# (subgenres) to 0.
    // "All available" = 0
    #PUT#=1#35#
    // #36# = Set to the maximum amount of "subgenres" (subcategories) the script should take.
    // If you want the "genres" only to have the first genre and the rest to be placed in "subgenres"
    // then you should set this to "0" and set the #35# (genres) to 1.
    // "All available" = 0.
    #PUT#=0#36#
    // #37# = Keeps track of what page is the default one used by the "Script Engine"
    // "Main Details" = 0
    // "Combined Details" = 1
    #PUT#=0#37#
    // #38# = Stores the site ID (MovieID) for the movie.
    #PUT#=1#38#
    // #39# = Specifies if you want only the first "Country" or all of them.
    // "All countries available" = 0
    // "Only the first country" = 1
    #PUT#=0#39#
    // #40# = Specifies if you want only the first "Language" or all of them.
    // "All languages available" = 0
    // "Only the first language" = 1
    #PUT#=0#40#
    // #41# = Stores the URL for the movie, "Combined Details" page.
    #PUT#=1#41#
    // #42# = Take the characters name that the actors play together with actors name. Like this "Woody Allen (Alvy Singer)".
    // "Enable"  = 1
    // "Disable" = 0
    #PUT#=1#42#
    // #43# = Add the producers, writers, photographer, musicians to the "actors database".
    // "Enable"  = 1
    // "Disable" = 0
    #PUT#=0#43#
    // #44# = Include year in the original title. Like this "King Cobra (1999)"
    // "Enable"  = 1
    // "Disable" = 0
    #PUT#=1#44#
    // #45# = Add movie awards.
    // "Enable"  = 1
    // "Disable" = 0
    #PUT#=1#45#

@Ian
Yes, you're right the other problem is a UNIX EOL character problem.
But as long as you use Notepad (there are probably other programs that works the same way as well) then it isn't a problem.

Thanks Ian for posting so much information about the problem with the script
That makes it much easier to look for the bugs.

I think that it might be the script that is slow and not the iMDB site.

I'll try to find some time to solve the bugs.
If you want to help then I could send you the script when I've modified it so you can try it and help me locate any remaining bugs (if there are any)
If you want to do that then send me a private message with your email adress

EDIT:
@Ian
There is nothing wrong with the script itself but you have changed two options, #38# and #41#.
This is what you had:
// #38# = Stores the site ID (MovieID) for the movie.
    #PUT#=1#38#

// #41# = Stores the URL for the movie, "Combined Details" page.
    #PUT#=1#41#

The script checks to see if these have value "0" and if they don't then it assumes that they have the right information.

For example if you run the script and try to import information about the movie
"Lara Croft Tomb Raider - The Cradle of Life" then it will assume that:
"Movie ID" is "1"
"Combined Details" page adress is "http://www.imdb.com/Details?1"

When it should be:
"Movie ID" = "0325703"
"Combined Details" page adress = "http://www.imdb.com/Details?0325703"

So change the settings for #38# and #41# to "0":
// #38# = Stores the site ID (MovieID) for the movie.
    #PUT#=0#38#

// #41# = Stores the URL for the movie, "Combined Details" page.
    #PUT#=0#41#

and the script should now work like it should again

I did notice that "User comments" weren't taken properly by the script though and I'll upload a fixed script in a little while.

EDIT:
Uploaded the new script (2004-12-23.IMDBPack.zip).
(Link is in my first post in this thread )

@Freak.. Thnx very much for the detailed reply.

I'd love to help U with any debugging scripts etc. I tried to P.M. you, but I'm sorry to admit. I can't figure out how to send a personal message at this forum. I'm more used to PHP fourms.

I'll change my options & try the new script after the holiday festivities.

For the person with the Unix EOL problem, if he still wants to use his same application. I have a small (15kb)UNIX-WIN EOL convertor which works instantly and needs no installion. I can send it to Alessio if he wants to host it as a UTIL, or to pass it on to the member. (Freeware)

Wait for a little while until I have posted the 26.Dec.2004 script. I will upload it in half an hour.
Then try this:
1) Download the script and save it in the script folder.
(Don't open the script with any "text editor program".)
2) Try to import the information for "Bill and Ted's Bogus journey".

Does that work?

If that works and you want to change some of the settings in the script
then use the program "notepad" as editor.

EDIT:
I've uploaded the new script now.

I'm going to try the award import and see how it works. I haven't really used it myself yet

EDIT:
Yes you're right, it does miss some information

So what you want to do is get rid of the <br> tags and fix some of the formating, like adding "," between the names?
And of course make sure that all the information is imported

Yes, getting rid of the <br> tags was fairly easy but how to add spacing, punctuation and yes, getting all the correct information would be an added bonus
