1) Actors pictures is not basic. AMC doesn't have field for this.


The script " IMDb (Actor images) " was adding Extras with pictures for the actors (unrelated to the "Actors" field). That feature was then transferred to the main IMDb script by some contributor, and I didn't notice that at first ...

Oh! Boy! 150??? I mean I assume that is not 150K but still 150$ for a system that may not work in the future seems to me is not worth a few actor images. Sure the page is more complete with them on but is not worth it. I was hoping in a more reasonable prize. Well...


150K, not for the end-user ...

Indeed, I already tried previously

For me the API script works on that one. What happens for you? Is there a message saying it does not find it? Or just empty data returned?

If it is blocked permanently in the current way they block it now, unfortunately I don't have a solution

Thanks

Merci !
C'est mis à jour sur le serveur

Thanks, I updated it on my server

Unfortunately since IMDb is blocking bots, there is nothing that can really be done. At least I haven't yet found something that works.
In the meantime, you'll have to use the other script, "IMDB ( via API )".

Hi,
One way to achieve that would be to use File -> Import, and from there you can import another catalog in the current one, but you can select the same catalog for that.

This problem comes from time to time.
In this case it is IMDb which blocks bots from time to time (probably when the site has too much load from them).
Nothing can be done except waiting that it is available again.

Have you tested simply with the cURL included in recent Windows?
For Filmaffinity AMC's internal HTTP client was also blocked as a bot, but using cURL solved the issue, even with a specific useragent.
Cf use of ExternalCurlHandler.pas by FilmAffinity (ES).ifs

Merci mais je pense que c'est le mauvais lien : il pointe vers le script Allociné

Merci, je mets ça à jour

Très bizarre en effet, car je ne vois pas ce qui aurait posé problème. À part si temporairement le site renvoyait autre chose, et que c'est la mauvaise valeur qui se retrouvait dans la variable à convertir...

Yes you can delete the "imdb actors images" script.
Strange that you get that error message, when I run it I just don't have the actor images, but no error.

It seems indeed it has an issue, this will have to be fixed.
To be followed on viewtopic.php?p=94580#p94580

- The main IMDb script seems to have an issue with that right now, I suppose something was changed on IMDb side, someone will have to check that (either me, or someone with more free time for that...)
- The "actor pictures" script is outdated but will not be fixed: this feature was added to the main ...

I think you need to also update "ExternalCurlHandler.pas", as this function was added there.

Strange then
