import Technical Specs from IMDb

[Marc]

I think it would be a usefull addition if PVD could import the technical specs of a movie as listed on the IMDb (example). I often check this information to make sure the aspect ratio of my DVD is correct (i.e. the same as listed on the IMDb). I hate finding out the DVD I just bought has the wrong aspect ratio!

Plus I find it interestion to know what sort of camera was used, if a movie was shot on film or digital, that sort of information.

I'll consider adding this information optional using custom fields in future versions of the plugin.

That would be really cool!

imdb plugin updated to the version 0.9.1.1 with the plot summary issue fixed and a possibility to download technical specs to a custom field

Awesome! I tried it out and it seems to work great. Thanks

I did notice it has trouble with this: Laboratory: DeLuxe, USA (as deluxe®) - that ® at the end turns up as ® in PVD. Is that the HTML character? No biggie though (if you want to test this, the movie this comes from is "Midnight Meat Train".

Thx, I'll check what is wrong with this character

I've noticed it do the same thing to apostrophes and quotations—the issue affects more than one character.
