[REL] IMDB ( via API )

[Munkey]

It works super fast. Still I am missing some basics.

• No actors pictures downloaded.

• Description is not full only tagline ... plus it is written "tagline" before the tagline description

• ratings the number of votes is missing.

• Title translation. Used to be pre-set. Only 1 title translation in my language. Not sure how it did it, maybe using the program language setting. Now I see there is the AKA feature but it is either everything or nothing. Weird since the field doesn't fit it all

1) Actors pictures is not basic. AMC doesn't have field for this.
2) Description is full for me. Post IMDb ID or screenshot where you don't get full description.
3) The number of votes not missing/basic because there is no such field in AMC.
4) If you want to get translated tiles by your country, add/change your country code in "userCountryCode" parameter, default is US.

Like I wrote before, personally I'm not interested in custom things, especially since it takes a whole day/days to implement new import.

Your options for custom fields:
Implement it yourself - PRs at GitHub are welcome.
Pay someone to implement it (I can provide such service).
Wait and hope that someone will implement it.

It could be a good idea to get them from another site.

Yeah, but for a different script, since other sites/HTML imports are out of scope for this project.

The API doesn't have actor images (as other important information like aspect ratio, awards, etc...) there is nothing we can do here about that because we only gather what is available inside the API in the first place.

The API has everything, where you got idea that it doesn't have something?

IMDb has enforced strict anti-bot protection through Cloudflare.

Are you sure it's using Cloudflare? I think it's using its own JavaScript challenge instead.

What I meant was right now this script can't gather that information, maybe I misspelled what I was trying to say because English is not my primary language.

Hello Munkey and thanks for your reply.

1. Actor pictures were part of the last imdb script so I thought it was basic. That's why I asked.
2. I double checked. It is true the description is full. Is that in the imdb script to the description it was added the storyline. So you see what is best. Personally I really prefer the whole storyline. Do as you see fit. Nevertheless, the word tagline is always at the beginning. See https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4712810 for instance.
3. Ssame thing. It was there in the previous imdb script. No biggies
4. Done and works. Thanks for the solution to this.

Thank you again for your wonderful work and help.

P.S. I tried other scripts. Most are outdated and/or don't work. Maybe a cleaning in order in the program package

I think I understood what you meant. That information can be gathered from the API, even right now.

Personally I really prefer the whole storyline.

I'll check it, maybe I'll add it as an option. Do you mean only storyline there or description + storyline?

Nevertheless, the word tagline is always at the beginning.

Yes, it indicates a tagline. What's wrong with it? At the moment it always adds a tagline, I can make it optional.

[Valmiki]

I don't remember. In the scrypt there were 2 options: 0=short summary, 1=long summary.
I think it was 0=tagline and 1=storyline

About the rest no biggie. I am already so thankful for everything.
It is handy to see the actors image but I guess it was just a habit and all the movies I have, already set with actors pictures. True, is nice to open the movie card and see immediately the main actors images but it is totally ok without them.

Number of votes, I will delete from the template I use. I don't even care. It was an option that I wasn't even thinking about and set on in the previous script.

If you do the storyline option. I will gladly wait for the update.

Thank you so much

Oh! Boy! 150??? I mean I assume that is not 150K but still 150$ for a system that may not work in the future seems to me is not worth a few actor images. Sure the page is more complete with them on but is not worth it. I was hoping in a more reasonable prize. Well...

150K, not for the end-user but rather for a company who would want to be able to extract info in a reliable and permanent way.
It would maybe be worth doing it for me if AMC was a software that I sell with a subscription (hoping there were enough people behind it), but as a free software it is not possible of course.

1) Actors pictures is not basic. AMC doesn't have field for this.

The script "IMDb (Actor images)" was adding Extras with pictures for the actors (unrelated to the "Actors" field). That feature was then transferred to the main IMDb script by some contributor, and I didn't notice that at first (since the "Extras" panel was hidden on my installation and I never went to the "Extras" tab.). After some time I made it optional there, since not everybody wants their catalog with photos of all actors for each movie. But it seems there was a small fan base of that possibility

Hello Antoine
Thank you for this info. Yes, it makes much more sense. In the beginning I thought it was a mistake but the fact is for a company and not an individual it makes it understandable. Still it sounds exagerated.

Yes. It was working like that. I do have all the info in the Extra section. It takes quite a bit of extra space to have all those images. Still for people like me very visual that don't always remember name it is much easier. Sometimes when I want to watch a movie with my wife it is very helpful to have the actors' pictures right on the screen. Very helpful.

In the beginning I was running 3 different scripts to gather all the info. Then when the IMDB script was updated with the Extra info I got used to use only that.
Still I am grateful for anything that you guys do. Surely I am not here to pretend anything. In fact I pointed out things just based on how I was using the program. My intent was to be helpful covering areas of the script to implement/fix.

Thank you all for your wonderful job. And also thanks to the mystery contributor that implemented the IMDB script. I will keep all the pictures for the previous movies I added.

I know is a tedious process, but you can add the images and actors names manually in the AMC extras section.

Please test this API version I managed to do with claude code (original script made by J):

https://mega.nz/file/oK9DkBob#s0KBaoCjV ... dQGs2FLVsE

I think is working! tell me if you find any issues.

[Valmiki]

Thank you Dorohedoro

Yes it is a tedious job but now is not necessary thanks to you.
Thank you so much. This script works like a charm. I see no problems with it.

I think you can upload this script with the others. I tried most options and they all work for me.

I only have a question for you. Is it possible to delete all Extra images by selecting 2 or more movies?

[Dorohedoro]

Is it possible to delete all Extra images by selecting 2 or more movies?

Could you clarify what you mean by extra images? Do you mean removing actor profile images across several selected movies?

[Valmiki]

Yes, I am referring to the Extra Tab where the actor images are.
I noticed that the previous script added cropped images. Since your script it is working much better it would be nice to repopulate the images with the new style. If it is not possible no biggies. I can modify the html Theme to adapt to both.
Thank you
