IMDB script

A new version (3.54) will be available from http://update.antp.be/amc/scripts/ or using script "Update Scripts" soon.

It'll try to fetch data from both HTML code versions that IMDB used last week, though I'm not sure it'll catch all changes for second version (obviously this can't be tested currently).

How do I do that?

Besides the other script options that observer explained, you should set "Show results window" from "Execution options" temporary disabled, if you have to process a lot of movies. This way script execution will not pause after each movie.

This means you have no StringUtils1.pas file in your scripts folder, as IMDB script needs latest version of this file. Did you delete that file for any reason or did IMDB script work previously (then I might have made any mistake on updating this file automatically) ?

You can download the file from http://update.antp.be/amc/scripts/StringUtils1.pas (rightclick and "save file as") or use script [ Update_Scripts ] from within AMC.

Also MPAA Rating is not coming

Picture import works for me with all options. If it is on specific movies only, please give an example.

About MPAA rating - I forgot to include that in the changes I did for supporting both HTML code versions. New version will be available from servers soon.

That's weird. Do you use UAC (User Account Control) on Win 7 ? Then have a look on the Virtual Store folder, where Vista and Win 7 store downloaded files instead of saving these to program's folder. For Vista it should be found at \user\AppData\Local\VirtualStore , not sure if it's the same for Win 7.

@antp: Are there problems reported for allocine, too (as it uses the same update routine) ?

You are right! I do use UAC (Win7x64) and there is a folder in Virtual Store containing the script and stringutils!

Thanks!

No, and it should work in the same way as "update scripts" script anyway.

I'm terribly sorry bad4u but the script was working good.It was my mistake that i got errors so i thought to delete the post in order not to offer unnecessary confusion as antp correctly guessed.

No problem at all. It was not meant rude or offensive

Change script line

Code: Select all

Value := TextBetween(PageText, '<h5>User Rating:</h5>', '<div class="bottom">');

to

Code: Select all

Value := TextBetween(PageText, '<h5>User Rating:</h5>', '</b>');

and it should work again. New script version will be available from server later this day, I guess

You rock ! Deleting the div tag made it usable again.

Thanks

e-mail received :

I use imdb script for informations for my movies, and it always run like a clock. I come ones or twise to you site to check for updated version of imdb script, and when i find it, I always replace it with my current. But, I have experience some problems, particulary with comments section. All fields are correctly updates, actors, director, producer, summary, etc. but comment field is left intact, or blank. No information have been pulled from imdb. That field stays without ANY informatio. I uses comment type 1 - detailed type (10 most useful comments from comments page). If I put 0 - standard type (only one comment from comments page) it is SHOWN in your catalog... So, i guess that imdb.com have change something in comments page, which resulted that ant movie catalog with imdb script can't work very well. So, I just wanted to let you know about this problem. I don't know if anyone have reported you about this issue.

Please replace

Code: Select all

FullValue := TextAfter(FullValue, 'comment useful :-</small><br>');

with

Code: Select all

FullValue := TextAfter(FullValue, 'review useful:</small><br>');

on comments import part (2 times !).
