Modified Script 'OFDb - IMDb - mod'

[antp]

Strange that it is linked to bbcode, there is nothing special in it

[UPollaehne]

I have uploaded a new version (1.9.5, to https://ks3c.antp.be/upload.php) that is able to work with ssl-only IMDB.
Additionally I removed the UTF-8 encoding of the film title for the search since this always failed with ANT 4.2.2 in case of Umlauts.

Thanks, it has been put with the other scripts available

Hi,

I updated the script to Version 1.9.6.

Fixed: All actors from IMDb will now be imported again.

Hi,
unfortunately OFDb-script provided with AMC 4.2.3.3 and also this one (OFDb - IMDb - mod) don't work any more.
Error message: Title in page nicht gefunden (Title not found in page)
IMDb works.
Please help.
Regards
Uwe

That script is quite old, I suppose it should be updated (at least for the changes that IMDb made in the last months)

Hello Antoine, first congratulations for 21 years running this forum (yesterday) and thank you for providing your software
Is there hope for a fixed german script?
Regards

Most of these scripts were done by other users.
If nobody can fix this one, I may take a look, but I don't know when I'll have time

[crap_inhuman]

Hey,

i will take a look at the script.

Cheers
Sven

Okay,

the website from OFDB is completely new, so this script doesn't work anymore.
I just wrote an email to the webmaster of ofdb and ask for help.

I will keep you up to date.

Is it possible to fill a textbox and push the search button in a script?

Here is the url to the searchpage:
https://www.ofdb.de/erweiterte-suche/?tab=2

Hello Sven,
I'm not sure if I understand your suggestion. How will I get the results into AMC?

[crap_inhuman]

Hi Uwe,

my question was adressed to @antp

Cheers
Sven

The search here is done in Javascript, so it is less easy to find the address to call. From a quick check I don't really see what it is, and I don't know if it is even possible actually to do it with a standard GET or POST HTTP request like what AMC does.

Hi antp, crap_inhuman

I am also using OFDb, but with my own scripts as my catalog contains a lot of custom fields (used to manage DVD and BD).
My findings might be helpful to adapt 'OFDb-IMDb-mod' related to the new OFDb page design.

There are three search actions at the new OFDb page, one of those returns a html page with the result.
https://www.ofdb.de/suchergebnis/?XXX
for XXX there are 4 options:
a) text (movie or person) - e.g. hugo
b) code from imdb for a title - e.g. tt0970179
c) code from imdb for a person - e.g. nm0915989
d) EAN/UPC code (if it is a number of 12 or 13 digits) - e.g. 4010884255539

The html-source of the result page contains a tabel with ALL found items.
The sorting displayed at the browser window is different to the html-source, as the html page is just the source for further javascripts (sorting, page-cut and filtering).
The raw data are just grouped for
(1) movies (href=.../film/...),
(2) people (href=.../person/...) and
(3) groups of people (href=.../personen/...).
(4) some more ???
Also YYY at "class="material-icons">YYY<" can be used to identify the group.

Unfortunately, there is no sorting within a group regarding the match-indication.

In case of "d" the result page has a different format.

At the new detail pages all previous used information will be found at the html-source (regardless of javascript).

Josef

Hi antp, crap_inhuman

This script is no longer working, could somebody look after it? "Socket error #11001" Host not found...whatever this means...

All the best, Jens

You can try with the new version of "OFDb-mobi-IMDb" from gerol:

since June 2024, ofdb.mobi is now just a link to ofdb.de and cannot be used for searching anymore. Therefore, I have rewritten the script. The search now runs again via ofdb.de; the data comes from ofdb.de and/or imdb.com. I have not changed the name of the script; that just confuses things.

Available via "update scripts" or from https://update.antp.be/amc/scripts/

[jekie1408]

Thanks for this answer, yes this new version works again, but unfortunately seems not to have the same features as OFD-IMDB-TMDB-mod, as it does seemingly not import the film description. Are you perhaps able to modify this script as well? Sorry for not being a programmer :-) All the best, Jens
