AllMovie disappeared, Allrovi.com appeared!

...which means again a few less brain cells for the co-authors of the current AllRovi script.

A perfect illustration in the picture.
Thanks, Rick.

In the case of a corporation AllRovi is now a small new feature (I do not know how long ago it works), I've noticed myself until today:

When the movie or people want to access the old URL to a Web page, for example this url
http://www.allmovie.com/work/10-things-i-hate-about-you-177526
http://www.allmovie.com/work/100-girls-249188

http://www.allmovie.com/artist/chevy-chase-12488

allrovi url
http://www.allrovi.com/movies/movie/10-things-i-hate-about-you-v177526
the same page as for the above mentioned url,

is now opened slightly different web page, as an example, the web page opens with these URLs:

http://www.allrovi.com/movies/movie/100-girls-v249188

http://www.allrovi.com/name/chevy-chase-p+12488

In new AllMovie web pages, I noticed a little less information than in AllRovi
web pages. In the future we will see if anything changes in this regard.

[rick.ca]

Great. We now have three (including allmovie at web.archive.com) sites with the same information.

I tested a sample of my AllRovi URL's and they all still go to AllRovi. So hopefully 10 Things I Hate About You being redirected to this new site is just an exception.

[Ivek23]

Great. We now have three (including allmovie at web.archive.com) sites with the same information )

Correction:
not web.archive.com but web.archive.org

[rick.ca]

not web.archive.com but web.archive.org

Right. I notice many of those links are being redirected to the new site. I wonder if they all will in time. That will make it more difficult to access the old version in the archive.

[Ivek23]

Maybe this will help in future:
http://liveweb.archive.org/http://www.allrovi.com/search/?r=allmovie
http://liveweb.archive.org/http://www.allmovie.com/search/

[rick.ca]

I don't think so.

http://web.archive.org/web/http://www.allmovie.com/work/greys-anatomy-tv-series-323967

used to show the archive of the old Allmovie page for Grey's Anatomy. It's now redirected to the new site. Although the Wayback site explains how to view older versions, this doesn't seem to work.

[Ivek23]

I don't think so.

I have a feeling that will happen the same way than before with Google Search.

[Ivek23]

Maybe this will help in future:
http://liveweb.archive.org/http://www.allrovi.com/search/?r=allmovie
http://liveweb.archive.org/http://www.allmovie.com/search/

or maybe like this url - ()between the bracket, as this is written():
()http://wayback.archive.org/web/*/http://www.allmovie.com/work/*()

On AllRovi movie web sites has been a change (or cancellation) to the Releases page [no more data on the old DVD editions(releases) of the movies]. DVD Releases Url opens basic movie web page. How it works AllRovi movie script given the changes that I do not know. Currently I can not verify and test the script.

How it works AllRovi movie script given the changes that I do not know.

I was saving just the link to the tab, which is of course now useless. So I deleted the data and removed that section of the script. For those saving the detail, I'm not sure what it does, but probably nothing (i.e., I don't think it will effectively delete any existing data). So we may as well leave the script as is for a time, in case the data returns.

Someday they may return data, we will see, maybe we will in the future again experience what a surprise from the AllRovi.com.

Apparently, it was a temporary error with the AllRovi.com. The error is corrected, Releases page is already back and working normally.

I love it when being lazy turns out to be the right answer.

[Ivek23]

The Wayback Machine changed the url in the source code. I still find old AllMovie saved(cached) pages, but now with them you can not download more info data. If little change url address, the URL redirects to the new AllMovie page url address.

BTW:
I attach the script if you can anyone help to script work again.
I am already looking for solutions, but so far no solution.

Here is solution:

Code: [Select]

//Get URL
 EndPos := Pos('">Overview</a>', HTML);
 if EndPos > 0 then begin
  curPos := PrevPos('<a href="', HTML, EndPos);
  AddFieldValue(mfURL, 'http://web.archive.org'+Copy(HTML, curPos + 9, EndPos - curPos - 9));
 end else
  AddFieldValue(mfURL, MovieURL);
 
 //Get URL
 EndPos := Pos('">Overview</a>', HTML);
 if EndPos > 0 then begin
  curPos := PrevPos('<a href="', HTML, EndPos);
    AddFieldValue(mfURL, 'http://web.archive.org'+Copy(HTML, curPos + 9, EndPos - curPos - 9));
 end else

 //AddFieldValue(mfURL, MovieURL); // Changed to:
 AddCustomFieldValueByName('Urlw', '<link url="' + MovieURL + '">' + MovieURL + '</link>');
 AddCustomFieldValueByName('Urlw1', '<link url="' + MovieURL + '">' + MovieURL + '</link>');
   
 //Get Review URL
 if GET_REVIEW then begin
  EndPos := Pos('">Review</a>', HTML);
  if EndPos > 0 then begin
   curPos := PrevPos('<a href="', HTML, EndPos);
   ExtraLinks[smReview] := 'http://web.archive.org'+Copy(HTML, curPos + 9, EndPos - curPos - 9);
  end; 
 end;
 
 //Get Cast URL
 EndPos := Pos('">Cast</a>', HTML);
 if EndPos > 0 then begin
  curPos := PrevPos('<a href="', HTML, EndPos);
  ExtraLinks[smCast] := 'http://web.archive.org'+Copy(HTML, curPos + 9, EndPos - curPos - 9);
 end;
 
 //Get Credits URL
 if GET_CREDITS then begin
  EndPos := Pos('">Production Credits</a>', HTML);
  if EndPos > 0 then begin
   curPos := PrevPos('<a href="', HTML, EndPos);
   ExtraLinks[smCredits] := 'http://web.archive.org'+Copy(HTML, curPos + 9, EndPos - curPos - 9);
  end;
 end;

 
 //Title
 curPos := Pos('<span class="title">', HTML) + Length('<span class="title">');
 EndPos := PosFrom('</span>', HTML, curPos);
 
 AddCustomFieldValueByName('Titlew', Copy(HTML, curPos, EndPos - curPos));
 
 
 //Poster
 curPos := PosFrom('<tr><td valign="top"><img src="', HTML, EndPos);
 if curPos > 0 then begin
  curPos := curPos + Length('<tr><td valign="top"><img src="');
  EndPos := PosFrom('"', HTML, curPos);
 
  ExtraLinks[smPoster] := 'http://web.archive.org'+Copy(HTML, curPos, EndPos - curPos);
  if Pos('noimage', ExtraLinks[smPoster]) > 0 then
   ExtraLinks[smPoster] := '';
 end;
I attach the script, which is now corrected.
