Hi JDommi
And thanks for all your good work trying to keep up with IMDB changes
AFAICS the last complete IMDB script posted on Mediafire was back in January
Could you please make the current working version of the IMDB script available for those of us not sufficiently computer literate to patch sections of code into the existing script.
Thanks in anticipation

Hi :)
There are too many changes this time. This week I have a little time to work on the scripts. I will do my best but the IMDB scripts are really complicated. |

Somehow I'm slowly losing it with IMDB...
Without making any changes and with the same series, the script gets stuck in an endless loop; then it works, or it gets stuck in a different place. This happens with XMM, the script debugger, and the original editor.
Either IMDB is changing something from call to call, or my system is acting up. Though I would actually rule out both.
I'll attach my current script. Actors and editors haven't been processed yet. Maybe someone else has better luck at the moment than I do.

Thanks for the TV series script
Can you also please make the IMDB complete movie script available?
IMDB Changing something: Well it would be a neat trick to make scraping more difficult.
Surely easy to spot though: Just save the complete webpage each time and do a file compare to see what is different. It cant (realistically) be the data merely the structures/keywords.
Didn't somebody once say "In order to achieve what is possible, you have to try the impossible over and over again." 
From all of us: Many thanks and good luck |

Hi JDommi,
Thank you for the TV Shows new script.
I tried to run the script with several tv shows.
After I select the show I want to update, the list of episodes never appear and the script continues to run grabbing data.
I always had to stop manually the grabbing.
Could you have a look?
Thanks you!! |

I know that problem. I think it's depending on the editors (#CUSTOM3#)... add as first line of that block #GOTO#=ENDTAKEEDITORS then you will go on to the episodes list.
In general those editors should behave the same as directors, photographers, etc. But somehow I don't find the error. |
