I know a similiar thing has been done before but has anyone/can anyone create a book script, preferably from amazon.com based on Title (or ISBN)?

I allready made a script for this site but AniDB has changed their server and the script isn't working anymore ...
When I asked AniDB about how to fix the error, they says they aren't agree with the script method, and says that they have aready a self-made application to list anime.

So I do not continue to fix the script anymore since they won't !

You'll have to ask their if you want to know how to use their application (or see their Wiki for that).

Hi, it's the annoying Kraut again ;)

As there have been some Changes to both the OFDb and the IMDb Scripts in Feburary I tried to fix the combined Script (OFDb -IMDb) myself but...well I seem to be pretty hopeless playing around with it, as I am pretty shure I keep making things worse...

So, any Hint / Help would be much appreciated, as getting only the Cast via the updated IMDb Script doesn't seem to work either. (yes it's only the Cast-Info missing again)

Rainy Greetings

As IMDB script changed, you will have to either wait for a new script or use the server former.imdb.com instead of us.imdb.com if you do not want to have to write the part of the code that extracts info from IMDB.

Ahhhhh, thanks a lot! Changing the Server did the trick for the actors.

Is it possible to change the IMDb scripts handling of getting data based on batchmode ?
0 -> Normal working mode
1 -> Does not display any window, takes 1st movie found
2 -> Same as 1, but it uses the url if available

Is it possible to add a fourth option ?

3 -> Same as 0, but it uses the url if available

That way it pops up the list of available movies, unless an url is given. Because option 1 sometimes picks the wrong movie, and then you have to either choose a different setting, or get the url yourself, which makes the batchmode itself absolete.

It should be easy to do, I just do not have time right now to do it.
Instead of adding such option you can modify the script to have it do what you want:
Near the end of the script there is:

Code: Select all

    if GetOption('BatchMode') = 2 then
    begin
      MovieName := GetField(fieldURL);
      if Pos('imdb.com', MovieName) = 0 then
        MovieName := '';
    end;
Just remove the line "if GetOption..." and it will all the time use the URL if it is available (or change the option number to 0 for example)

If you do not want to see the confirmation title input window if the URL is used (which would then contain the URL instead of the title), modify also the lines a little below :

Code: Select all

    if GetOption('BatchMode') = 0 then
    begin
      if not Input('IMDB Import', 'Enter the title or the IMDB URL of the movie:', MovieName) then
        Exit;
    end
Replace that first one by:

if (GetOption('BatchMode') = 0) and (Pos('imdb.com', MovieName) = 0) then

First of all you should install the latest IMDB script version 3.17 (11-Jul-2007), seems you are using an outdated one.

Then set both, "Trivia" option and "CommentType" option to "2", and now only trivia should be imported to the comments field - it works fine here. Please give an example if it does not work for you..


For amazon.de pictures search for the line

Code: Select all

  Value := TextBefore(PageText, '.jpg" width=', '<td class=w_rowtable_colcover><a href="');
in "function ImportMerchandisingPicture" and replace it with the following code

Code: Select all

  Value := TextBefore(PageText, '</tbody>', '<tbody>');
  Value := TextBefore(PageText, '>amazon.de<', '<td class=w_rowtable_colcover><a href="');
Now set option "ImageKind" to "4" and the script should import german cover from amazon if a merchandising link for german amazon site is available.
Or you can use the AmazonWS script to import pictures from amazon.de (set option "AmazonVersion" to "2").

first of all, thx for the prompt answer.
the code changing stuff works pretty fine, but just outa curiosity: where do i find the amazonWS script ?

hmm setting "trivia" and "commenttype" to option "2" doesnt help, it still wont import the trivia for example "matrix"

btw, i had a typo..., i DO you use imd script 3.17 (11-jul-2007).


thx

Sorry, I did not know that it has not been included on scripts server for download. You can find it here : viewtopic.php?t=3540

That's strange. I tested Matrix (http://imdb.com/title/tt0133093) and it import's trivia only, without comments. Please post your other option settings here (just the values from "ImageKind" down to "GoogleSearch"), so that I can check if there's a conflict between two settings..

But it still seems you have an older or corrupted version of IMDB.ifs, because not importing ANY trivia was a problem of version 3.16 that has been fixed on 3.17 : viewtopic.php?t=2493&start=175

If not done before, you should try to update the script using the [UPDATE SCRIPTS] script, maybe you have a problem like someone mentioned here : viewtopic.php?t=3661&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=22

is it possible to make a combo script of

Sure, it is. But you will have to analyze and combine two different result pages (OfDb and dvdempire), and you have to pick the corresponding results on two lists or find some kind of "algorithm" to decide which film/cover on dvdempire is the correct one (i.e. always the first movie on the list or only exact matches of translated title).

The combination of OFDb and IMDB is a special case, as the corresponding IMDB URL is listed on OFDb filmdetails pages, so there is no need to do a second search on IMDB.

If you only want larger, german covers for your OFDb/IMDB results, you can try this: Mark the films you want to change, open the scripting windows and choose the script "world-of-video.de", switch script option "Nur_Bild" to "1", "Bildgroesse" to "1" and script limitations to "Selected", then run the script (you should first try this for few films). Only the pictures will be changed to larger ones now.

[REQ] Script for Books - ISBN Amazon

Posted: 2008-02-05 16:17:47
by Melmoth
Hi there,

after using Ant Movie Catalog for my movies I want it to manage my books as well because AMC ist simply the best DB solution available (and I really tried hard to find something, even commercial apps for movies or books are nothing compared to it).

So I'm looking for a working script to import data for my book-collection from amazon.de / .com etc. via ISBN (because its the easiest way). All books are English or German. I'm planning to use the Media Type or Video Format field for the ISBN, I guess you need to know this for the script. Creating the mod should be very easy and is not a real problem for me, but the script is something I probably wouldn't master...

Oh, and I just need some basic information, like author, title, publisher, editor, keywords/category, optional stuff that might be great would be picture, comment, etc...

Thanks a lot in advance!

Melmoth
