Thank you for this update ! Everything seems fine, except for the "actors" field : only 3 or 4 actors are downloaded...
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year !

Yes that's still in the to-do list

cf this change:

Options 1 and 2 still take respectively all actors and first 10 actors (number configurable via a constant in the script, in case you were previously using AllActors=0 for getting the first 15 actors).

For me it works fine, except an accent problem if I set "UserCountry" to 'Spain'.
Do you have the version 4.002 of the script?
If so, can you send me the contents of the HTML page via e-mail? (in a zip file, either do a Save As and select to save the page without images, or copy/paste what is in the "view source" of your browser)
As IMDb tends to change the contents based on the country, maybe there is a small detail that cause a problem in the script.

Photos are no longer being scraped in 4.001 or 4.002. When 4.001 was first released the photos were being scraped, I updated today because 4.001 stopped working but 4.002 isn't scraping photos either.

It worked fine yesterday, but I have the same error today, when trying for example the movie 'Bigfoot Junir', I have

Yes Antoine, I used the v4.002.
I send eMail to U at site-contact@antp.be with HTML page and view source text.

Merry Christmas,

Hi,

I used the new v4.002 script, it worked so far, but it was wrong this morning:

picture import and a translated tittle doesn't work

thx

antp wrote:I posted a version 4.002 that should fix:
- actors layout
- special characters
- MPAA/Certification
- original/translated title
There may still be problems though, as again I tested only with a few entries

I modified the "AllActors" option so 0 = stars from the top of the page, as the old 0 option had no use anymore (we import all info from the "/reference" movie page and not from the main movie page)
Options 1 and 2 still take respectively all actors and first 10 actors (number configurable via a constant in the script, in case you were previously using AllActors=0 for getting the first 15 actors).

Post by **antp** » 2017-12-25 09:06:24

Indeed the picture is now not found, I'll check that later.

I don't have the title problem myself but I'll try to check that with the HTML sent by Radagast.
By the way, can you also send me the code of the page of the AKA titles, i.e. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1686784/releaseinfo#akas ? As the problem is maybe rather from there.

Sorry, I'm a newbie and don't really understand much about what you did/wrote. Is there any hope to get a new IMdB script that will download the first 15 actors ?

Post by **antp** » 2017-12-25 09:31:52

In the script window, click the "Editor" tab, somewhere in the first page you'll see a line MaxActors = 10; where you can change the number to 15 (keep the semicolon at the end), then click the "Save" icon.
In the next version I'll try to use script parameters to make that easier to change (and also to allow to remember the value, as here it will be lost at the next script update).

phil5660 · Post by **phil5660** » 2017-12-25 10:21:29

I changeg the 33th line of the script to:
MaxActors = 15;

but nothing changes. Still download the 3 first actors for any movie...

Maybe because it is imported from the "/reference" movie page ???

Many thanks for your help !!!

for poster to work just update one line in ImportLargePicture function:

Value := TextBetween(PageText, 'alt="Poster"', '/>');

and it gonna to work. They still change something.

herman · Post by **herman** » 2017-12-25 15:52:24

for 10 comments selection (commenttype = 1) just replace the section by this and add missing variables used in script:

if (GetOption('CommentType') = 1) then
begin
begin
Value2 := '';
Value3 := '';
p:= 0;
FullValue := ConvertToASCII(GetPage(MovieURL+'/reviews'));
FullValue := TextAfter(FullValue, '<div class="lister-item mode-detail imdb-user-review');
while FullValue <> '' do
begin
Value := TextBetween(FullValue, '<div class="review-container">','<div class="actions text-muted">');
p:= p + 1;
Value3 := inttostr(p) + '. ' + TextBetween(Value, '<div class="title">','</div>');
Value2 := Value2 + Value3;
Value2 := Value2 + ' (by ' + TextAfter (TextBetween(Value, '<span class="display-name-link">','</a>'),'>');
Value2 := Value2 + #32 + 'on ' + TextBetween(Value, '<span class="review-date">', '</span>') + ')' ;
Value := RemainingText;
Value := TextBetween(Value, '<div class="text">','</div>');
Value := StringReplace(Value, #13#10, ' ');
Value := StringReplace(Value, '<br/><br/>', #13#10);
Value := StringReplace(Value, '<br/>', #13#10);
HtmlRemoveTags(Value);
Value2 := Value2 + #13#10 + #13#10 + FullTrim(Value);
FullValue := TextAfter(FullValue, '<div class="lister-item mode-detail imdb-user-review');
if FullValue <> '' then Value2 := Value2 + #13#10 + #13#10;
end;
HTMLRemoveTags(Value2);
HTMLDecode(Value2);
SetField(fieldComments, Value2);
end;
end

In the script options on the right you have to double-click on "AllActors" and select 2 instead of 0 in the list.
