IMDB Script doesn't import full description

Hi peepz!

The IMDB script doesn't seem to import the whole movie description anymore (newest script version using auto update script).
It's always just a line and then "more".
Anyone knows a solution?

Thanks!

The script (version 3.17) import seems to work correct, but maybe IMDB shortened the "Plot outline" field on their website ?
You should change the option "DescriptionSelection" of the IMDB script to get longer descriptions ;)

You do not need to edit the script.

Go to the "scripting" window. Click the IMDB script, so that it is marked blue. Down on the left side of the window you can find some informations, look for "script version" to be sure you have latest version 3.17. If not, update the script before you continue. On the right part of the window you can find a frame called "script options", it shows all options for the IMDB script. Now doubleclick on "Description selection", choose "2" (=Take the longest summary) and hit "ok".

That's it, now you have long descriptions ;)

Minor change on the IMDB script: I removed the 'more' from description, if only plot outline/summary is imported from the website (option description_selection = 0). That's all.

Sorry, Antoine, I hope this is still on time ;)

Sorry. I made a little mistake on version 3.18 (a missing if-then-condition) :(
