Back when AMC started to use scripts, IMDb was not fully against it: as long as it was for personal use and clearly stated that data came from IMDb, it was tolerated. It may of course have changed. Maybe one should search in the legal terms of IMDb if they mention something about that clearly ...

what does "slow" mean?

In my first test, this is "slow" because it waits all the page is loaded, that is all the javascript and all the images/video. Only after the page is full loaded I can get the html. Maybe it could working faster if I can disable media loading, leaving only js on.

IMHO ...

This is how it could be fixed (MAYBE!!!), at least for Windows (this should work on linux too): chromedriver + chrome + batch script + hidden win32 desktop
I did a quick & dirty test and this seems to work.

This is the circus:
- AMC does not use GetPage but it calls an external script using ...

Please give some screenshots, the url of imdb movie and your imdb options and parameters

You are right, I just released a new beta version, happy testing

I'll have a look at @elman check (I think you are right, @elman) and I also have to reply to a check from @Ertehe
I have to find the time to do this ...

IMDB 5.5 beta 5

CHANGELOG
* fix composer, actors, writers and producers

IMDB is switching to a new json format in its javascript page. This fix should work with both new and old format.

Only tested on 4 movies.

Hi guys, I'm back. I have problems with imdb retrieve actors, producer, writer and music so I'll give a look at the script

NOTE 2: 😅

To avoid problems such as PACOIRIPO's, I would change the way the VBS file is executed.

Try this (not tested):
Launch('wscript.exe', InstallerPath + vbsScript);


Great!

By the way, I'll be away for two weeks (holydays), so we can chat again at september. Love working with you ...

Good idea but I'm not sure it's necessary.

CURL should create/open the file for writing and keep it locked until it is closed.
While the file is locked it can't be renamed (MoveFile function), so wait for MoveFile function return success should be a good indicator that the process is complete ...

Ok, so ... vbs works.

For Garada, test this parameter in curl:


w '%output{' + InstallerPath + curlOutputTmp + '}Download completed with response code %{http_code}\n'


This is how the code should look now ( I DON'T HAVE TESTED IT! )


if (fileExists(InstallerPath + curlOutput)) then ...

English

I have a hypothesis. In the version of the library that doesn't use Visual Basic and PowerShell files, you, Garada, use `MoveFile` to access the file. The problem, perhaps, is that `MoveFile` doesn't wait for the file to be complete, and so sometimes it might happen that it renames it ...

4.2.0

CHANGELOG
* imdb updated, improved title search and faster (reduced urls called)

IMDB 5.5 beta 4

CHANGELOG
* fix composer, writer and producer fields multiple names

Thank you @humungus for your test

Acabo de hacer una prueba y todo ha funcionado correctamente. Quizás estés usando una VPN cuya IP ha sido bloqueada por el sitio. De todos modos, haz esta prueba: abre el símbolo del sistema, luego escribe powershell y presiona Enter. Después, pega este comando


& curl.exe -I -L --url ...

I've made some changes to simplify the code and eliminate the dependency on Powershell and VS.
The following code calls CURL directly and use the pascal script MoveFile to handle the result.
No need to call the function setupScript.


Great job :clapping: ! Days ago I also tested direct curl call ...

I know it's a different script but the Munkey API version of the script takes the right poster (the default original one), even for the "Wedlock" movie. What is that script doing that: 1- ignores the user ip and gets the default poster 2- is able to get the Wedlock poster without any issue, even ...

The problem is this. Each of the values set in ImageKind works differently: values 1, 2, and 3 access the IMDB URL, while values 4 and 5 access imdbapi, a site that offers free APIs for IMDB. In the code you can see it here: option 3 accesses PageText, meaning the content of the IMDB page ...

IMDB 5.5 beta 3

CHANGELOG
* fix picture when LargePictureHeight is set and image cannot be resized

I have bad news. Resize does not work with that poster and I don't know why. How resize is made: changing this url https://m.media-amazon.com/images/M ...

This is the 5.0 Unofficial. Remember: this is Unofficial version.

You can rename as FilmAffinity Unofficial (ES).ifs if you prefer.
