Thank you so much!

The new version isn't available yet?

[Munkey]

Thank you so much!

The new version isn't available yet?

To get it via an AMC update, it must be updated by antp.
Otherwise, download it from GitHub, then search your PC for "IMDB_ALT.ifs" file and replace it.

Updated, thanks

What's a parade without a little rain, eh?

While updating some movies I observed a small issue with this script.

This documentary, for example: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt21870816

It has a lot of credits on its page formatted like this:

Code: Select all

Billie Joe Armstrong	Self - Vocalist & Guitarist, Green Day
Duff McKagan	Self - Bassist, Guns N' Roses
Steve Jones	Self - Guitarist, Sex Pistols
Paul Cook	Self - Drummer, Sex Pistols

Observe the comma and space before the band's name.

I have selected the option to have actors listed with their character names, and with that the comma appears to be replaced by a linebreak, pushing the band names in their own rows:

Code: Select all

Billie Joe Armstrong ... Self - Vocalist & Guitarist
Green Day
Duff McKagan ... Self - Bassist
Guns N' Roses
Steve Jones ... Self - Guitarist
Sex Pistols
Paul Cook ... Self - Drummer
Sex Pistols

This issue is not that easy to spot when it's only one or two credits buried among a few dozen, and I see that contrary to my original impression such credits are not as rare an occurrence on IMDb as I thought.

Here's a sample movie with a small cast and one credit with the above issue: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0043344 (it also shows IMDb's inconsistency in that a comparable credit is followed by a dash, not a comma).

Having said all that, I am most grateful to Munkey for this script. It's a lifesaver!

Thanks for the report. Fixed:

Code: Select all

3.2.0 - (2026/04/12) - Bugfix: Incorrect line break in Actors field when a character name contains a comma.

[antp]

Updated, thanks

[humungus]

Thank you, Munkey! Works a treat with both movies.

[MMM]

I just updated the script,but:


What can I do here?

Or anybody has the 3.0.0 version??

Thank you very much

[Munkey]

I just updated the script,but:

Ah, a silly Pascal syntax mistake caused it. Fixed:

Code: Select all

3.3.0 - (2026/04/17) - Regression bugfix: Version 3.1.0 broke "Actor image importing" [3.0.0] due to a Pascal syntax typo.

[MMM]

Thank you very much...but I don't know what to do with it.

Will it be an update to the IFS?

Thank you.

[Munkey]

Thank you very much...but I don't know what to do with it.

Read this post: viewtopic.php?p=95611#p95611

...where can I find the previous one...

All previous versions you can download from GitHub.
Press the "Commits" button to view the full change history. For example, next to "v3.0.0", click the "<>" button on the right to open that version of the repo.

Ok, since I don't know how to fix the syntax error (the post you pasted is this very one), I did the best next think you said, and downloaded version 3.0.0 from github, wich worked perfectly, and replaced the 3.3.0
It's working again.

Thank you again !

[Munkey]

Ok, since I don't know how to fix the syntax error (the post you pasted is this very one),

You don't need to know as it's already fixed in v3.3.0.
If you want to see how it was fixed, open Commits and click a commit to view the changes. (for example "v3.3.0" commit -> https://github.com/Purfview/IMDB_ALT/co ... 88a74e3468 )

I did the best next think you said, and downloaded version 3.0.0 from github, wich worked perfectly, and replaced the 3.3.0

What's the point of doing that? You've reverted to an old buggy version for no reason.

[MMM]

Exactly what I thought !
But as soon as you said it was fixed, I went to the archive and got the 3.3.0...still error. I went to github also...still error.
AND JUST NOW, following your link from github, downloaded and replaced...and finally the 3.3.0 worked !!

Maybe previously I didn't get the updated one ?

Thank you for your work, it's very much appreciated !

[Munkey]

If you downloaded 3.3.0, it was the fixed one. You probably didn't replace it, or you were on the AMC "Scripting" screen when you did (after this point AMC doesn't read the script files again).
