IMDB Script seems to be not working

Post by hardkid »

The prog says: Movie number could not be extracted from the page (script outdated?). Please update the script. Thanx!

This problem comes from time to time.
In this case it is IMDb which blocks bots from time to time (probably when the site has too much load from them).
Nothing can be done except waiting that it is available again.

The other script "IMDB Via API" works fine.

Yes! In my case it was damaged thus not working either. Re-downloaded and now it's OK. Thank you.

In my case the issue is still there. I get "Movie number could not be extracted from the page", regardelss the title I put.
I re-doenloaded the script, it did not solve the issue.
Any clue?

Unfortunately since IMDb is blocking bots, there is nothing that can really be done. At least I haven't yet found something that works.
In the meantime, you'll have to use the other script, "IMDB ( via API )".

In my case, "IMDB ( via API )" is not working either: I tried both BatchMode 0 and 2 and it is unable to get the following movie info:

For me the API script works on that one. What happens for you? Is there a message saying it does not find it? Or just empty data returned?
