I think they don't care about that, there are several similar programs, if they would not like these they could easily block their user agent (which they didn't do) or contact the authors.

Indeed copy/paste is the way to go for easy management of these tables.
I should maybe add a confirmation message in case the imported data is not in the expected format, as it is probably then a wrong operation, as you encountered.

You can have multiple tables saved. There is a "Predefined sets ...

Thanks! I updated it on my server

This is a lot of work to be done but I'll only develop this if @antp agree this script is official. Too muck work for an unofficial script.


I'm not sure that such complicated setup (dependency on external tools to install) is a good idea for an "official" version, but at least it could be used ...

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

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
