IMDB script doesn't work

[MrObama2022]

Hello and thanks for latest updates.
I have an error while launching the script, 'A call to an OS function failed', what could be the cause?
I use AMC 4.2.3
Thank you in advance

Go in Help -> Version and check if you get these version numbers (4.2.3.3)

These are mine version numbers:
MovieCatalog.exe : versione 4.2.3.3 (creata il 19/05/2023 11:56:18)
AMCExchange.dll : versione 1.9.0.2 (creata il 19/05/2023 11:56:08)
AMCReport.exe : versione 1.9.0.1 (creata il 04/11/2017 06:44:36)
MediaInfo.dll : versione 22.12 (creata il 22/12/2022 17:00:48)

I have these :

It looks the same...
I tried with latest RC 2, same problem

[MrObama2022]

do you have this error only with iMDB script or also with other script?

Open AMC. Create a new catalog. Try another script (not iMDB), then save. Tell us if you get errors

Do you have enough space on your hdd?

Thank you MrObama2022, Antoine and all for your efforts all this time.

I've tried all scripts version 4 and 5 but the problem persist: just return empty page. I try other scripts i.e. Allocine it works just fine.
Am I missing something?

My AMC version is this:
MovieCatalog.exe : version 4.2.3.3 (19/05/2023 11:56:20)
AMCExchange.dll : version 1.9.0.2 (19/05/2023 11:56:10)
AMCReport.exe : version 1.9.0.1 (04/11/2017 05:44:38)
MediaInfo.dll : version 22.12 (22/12/2022 16:00:50)

Thanks

Many thanks for the new version, MrObama2022! I updated about a dozen very different movies and everything was retrieved as in the "old days" (read: perfectly) except for one type of actors credits.

movie URL: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0071949/reference/

Actors credits are retrieved as

Hélène Loiselle ... Marie Boudreau","Self
Jean Lapointe ... Clermont Boudreau","Self
Guy Provost ... Jean-Marie Beauchemin","Self
Claude Gauthier ... Richard Lavoie","Self
Louise Forestier ... Claudette Dusseault","Self

instead of as

Hélène Loiselle ... Marie Boudreau / Self
Jean Lapointe ... Clermont Boudreau / Self
Guy Provost ... Jean-Marie Beauchemin / Self
Claude Gauthier ... Richard Lavoie / Self
Louise Forestier ... Claudette Dusseault / Self

It looks like your fix for the "segment" atribute in actors' credits in https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0113101/reference/ is also applied to credits such as these.

Other movies with such actors credits:
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0151857/reference/
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt32149801/reference/
and especially https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3872778/reference (along with every other Monty Python thing)

Many thanks again, MrObama2022! I'm pleased to report that I have successfully updated 15 or so movies. The only odd thing I've noticed was with this movie:

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0046438/reference/

If I open the page in my browser, the credits look like this:

Chishû Ryû   Shukichi Hirayama
Chieko Higashiyama   Tomi Hirayama
Setsuko Hara   Noriko Hirayama
Haruko Sugimura   Shige Kaneko

But the script retrieves this:

Chishû Ryû ... Shukichi Hirayama
Chieko Higashiyama ... Tomi Hirayama
Setsuko Hara
Setsuko Hara ... Noriko Hirayama
Haruko Sugimura ... Shige Kaneko

Notice the reduntant listing of "Setsuko Hara" with no character name. I suspect, however, this is more down to IMDb's dodgy HTML than your script.

Other than this, everything worked a treat, including those lengthy Monty Python credits. Unless the above case is something you can easily fix, the script is good to go for me.

Thank you.

Try using a new or different catalog, the catalog that is giving you the error might be corrupted.

Mr Obama2022, grazie per il duro lavoro che stati facendo, purtroppo con l'ultimo scrip non funzionano più gli attori, non ne trova più neppure uno invece con il penultimo scipt li trovava, puoi sistemarlo?
ecco alcuni film che non funzionano:
7 pistole per i MacGregor - Sette pistole per i MacGregor
Anello di sangue - I Never Sang for My Father
L'assalto al treno postale - Wyoming Mail
Bad Blood Debito di sangue - Wicked Blood

Mr Obama2022, thank you for the hard work you are doing, unfortunately with the last script the actors do not work anymore, he does not find even one instead with the penultimate script he found them, can you fix it?

IMDB Title/URL: Wallace & Gromit: A Grand Day Out / https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0104361/

Error: "Script error in "IMDB": unknown identifier: LASTVALUE at line 843.

Here is a screenshot of the error (after I get the error listed above, the script takes me to this in the 'Editor' tab:


I tried another title https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0312004/ and got another error (which I didn't note down).

I went back to 5.0 release candidate 4 and these errors disappeared. Everything working fine in my catalogue thus far with RC4.

Thank you for all the splendid work you have put in MrObama and wish you all the very best for the home run.

I also seem to get somewhat random country names in the first line of the 'Description' box: Argentina is the most frequent one, followed by Australia and, only once, Germany.
