[REL] IMDB (Actors images)

[Dorohedoro]

It doesn't for me, I will reinstall amc

Thanks!

[Dorohedoro]

Ok, I reinstalled and it's working, but I just found the problem, if you choose "SelectionMode 1" (REPLACE selected images) the script will stop working and the only way to fix it is reinstalling all.

But the script is working like charm again, THANK YOUUUUU!!!!

It seems that IMDB has updated their pages again - the script does what it should EXCEPT it no longer brings in the actor's character name in the movie - it brings their real names in fine.

Thanks for looking into this,
Greg

it no longer brings in the actor's character name in the movie

For quick fixing this, just change line 242 in script
from:

Code: Select all

Value2 := TextBetween(Value, 'iaZZDn">', '</');

to:

Code: Select all

Value2 := TextBetween(Value, 'ajtYK">', '</');

It looks like there a some more changes made by IMDB and so more things have to be additionally fixed.
Unfortunately due to my lack of time, this will take a little, but basic functionality (add images) schould be working for now.

cheers

Hi, I appreciate you working on this when you have some available time!
I tried the change you suggested, I cannot see any difference.
It brings in the picture and actor's real names like it did before, but still does not bring in the character's name in the movie.
Thank you,
Greg

well, you're right. When I tested it, it worked, now it doesn't.
Looks like it definitely needs a deeper look into it. Sorry for the wrong info.

I'm traveling through Europe for the next 2 weeks, but try to fix it soon afterwards.

thanks

Updated to version v1.3.2 - As usual, you can dl it from update server soon.

- Fixed role name
- Fixed a bug when replacing images from type 2 -> type 1
- Added '(voice)' to the role if applicable (e.g animation movie)
- Changed image type 0 to original raw uncut picture (be carefull, the pictures can be huge!)

I tested for two days now ans it's fully working, hopefully this time IMDB uses their somehow generic/random class names (which are used for getting the role) longer than last time.

[gregp]

Sorry to say that IMBD must have made a change again. Same as last time the actors real name is fine but their name in the movie doesn't appear at all.

[J]

And so another fix to v.1.3.3
This time only fixed role/character name again.

Thanks gregp for the info.
Enjoy

Hi @J, sorry to bother you again mate, but the script is not downloading any image

"Picture Error at movie #10366 - The New Kids"

That's an example, is happening with all movies. Thanks!

[J]

And again another small change to v1.3.4
- Fixed the link for image layout #2 and adress in eUrl field

Thanks Dorohedoro for the info.
Enjoy

Thanks to you my friend!!

If you have to go in the future I will commit suicide lol... please if you have to go you should tell us how to update it.

Thanks again, you are the best!

Script now updated on the server, you can run the script "Update scripts" to get it

Thank you so much.

This script is so amazing that it should be part of the main imdb script.

[J]

You're welcome, I'm glad to see that the script is still of some use for people after all these years and changing the way we watch movies.
As long as IMDB only will make such small changes - and so the script is easy to adapt - there is a good chance that we can use it for some more years.
enjoy.

Hi J, it's me again lol.

I have a suggestion that will serve as a workaround for the issue of the "No movie found" bug that the main imdb script is suffering.

Can you add the feature to download the images directly from the imdb url? I mean, I'm asking for this because if the movie name fails the imdb url always works, that's what I'm doing with the main script, with yours is not possible.

Thanks!

[J]

If I understand you right, you want the script to use the url from URL field without a title search and the selection window before?

You can already do that by setting the script option "BatchMode" to 2. It also works for only one movie selected (which is technically just a one movie batch), but you have to ensure that there is a valid imdb.com adress in the URL field for every selected movie.
The format must be something like

Code: Select all

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10381014

This should also work for all later picture/actor changes, additional pictures etc.

Due to the fact that I formerly just copied the whole search/selection code from the original IMDB script, this script now faces the same "movie not found" problem as the original one. As far as I understood, Antoine is still doing some fixing to the search functionality, so I'll wait for a "final solution" and will then just copy again the code for my next update - sorry for beeing lazy & a big TY Antoine!

That's exactly what I need, thank you so much for pointing out that option, you literally saved my life (actually, a lot of time of my life).

Thanks for your amazing work my friend.

Well normally the search works fine now (as far as I know), there is only a formatting issue in some cases where spaces are missing. Indeed I should take some time for that, some day...

[Dorohedoro]

Again problems downloading images...
