[REL] IMDB

Using antp script it works but not for actors pictures.
Actors pictures script and API don't work...
Bummer...

[antp]

- The main IMDb script seems to have an issue with that right now, I suppose something was changed on IMDb side, someone will have to check that (either me, or someone with more free time for that...)
- The "actor pictures" script is outdated but will not be fixed: this feature was added to the main IMDB script so that other script was not maintained anymore.
- The API script seems to work for me, but it is not supposed to get actor pictures I suppose.

Yes, the API script works, but imports very litle information. Your script works fine, but when it reaches the part of ''fetching'' actors images, it shows the following error:

(I import 10 actors images, so it shows the error 10 times in a row)

I'll wait for the good will from whom can help with this.

Thank you for everything.

P.S. if the Actors Images script is not going to be fixed, I think I'll just delete it from the list...

[antp]

Yes you can delete the "imdb actors images" script.
Strange that you get that error message, when I run it I just don't have the actor images, but no error.

The script worked yesterday, but not today.

neither today

Why if I add the actor images manually then press f12 and they don't appear?

Sstill doesn't work

So, if this bot protection is enforced from now on it means this script is done for good? Is there something we can do besides the API?

[antp]

If it is blocked permanently in the current way they block it now, unfortunately I don't have a solution

If it is blocked permanently in the current way they block it now, unfortunately I don't have a solution

maybe the use of a fork of the ExternalCurlHandler.pas used in Filmaffinnity can help?

If that's the case, it was a good ride using this script for all those years.

Thank you so much to you and all the collaborators for all the hard work put into this amazing project. More than 28000 entries put in my catalog through those years, what a ride!!

I don't think so, imdb is using a heavy cloudfare anti-bot protection.

Now, the IMDB script does not work at all, adding new movie by name or URL, it shows:


Only the API script works...so far.

I tryed the script for TMdb, but:


Any alternative to IMDB that works???

[antp]

I don't think so, imdb is using a heavy cloudfare anti-bot protection.

Indeed, I already tried previously

Hello, is there a hope for a fix or a new script?

[antp]

Not really, since the issue is due to a blocking from IMDb. Currently the best solution is to use the API script.

[LeMoi]

What is the API script? Does it have the same features?

[antp]

It is the script named "IMDB ( via API )"
It has the same basic features and info, but there are probably some differences, and possibly some of the data from the old script are not available.
