I've been having problem lately, when I import a movie info using the imdb [EN] plug in, I only get a short list of cast members. In the preferences, in the plugins menu, the option Download Full Credits is marked, next to it, the option except actors (from main page only) is not marked, nevertheless, I only get an abridged version. It also downloads the "also known as" field, even though it's not checked!

IMDB Movie Plugin is not updated, so there is a known problem to pass Full Credits for Actors only from main page only. As long as the plugin will not be repaired, you can use the IMDB Movie (cast) script, which is located in the IMDB Movie Script for rating ... topic. This script should, at least I hope so, solve the current problem (Download Full Credits for Actors).

Yes, it is installed, but does not operate.

The reason that the script does not work is as follows, namely:

Since the script was installed in the Plugins folder (not working), the script should always be installed in the Scripts folder, it will then also be operated.

In your case, from Plugins folders just move the Imdb Movie(cast) script to in a Scripts folder.

When you do this, restart PVD, find the Imdb Movie(cast) script in Import folder and run it.

Now, the script sends the information which you wish to have.

It DOES work. I have to run it first, and then run the other IMDB script to get everything else. It's kind of a turn down that you have to import twice, but it works perfectly. And thanks again for your help. I'll give it FIVE smiley faces!

Make a batch file, like this here, maybe it will facilitate the work.

Ivek, I gotta tell you. I haven't used a "batch file" because I "dont know" what that "is", but I've been using the script and now I noticed something bad that wasn't at first sight. The actors are imported, but they are saved with some occasional double comas ", ," beetween actor and actor, Now if I click an actor to add it to the actors data base, random things happen, like it adds a blank name actor, or adds info on some other actor (the one with his name right next to it, for example) What do you think?

The corrected version of IMDB Movie (cast) Script is now here in the Imdb Movie Script for rating ... topic.

The script Imdb Movie Script (cast) is working just fine for movies, but I don't think it's working for series.
In the main window for the series, it won't import actors. It can import actors for each episode though. The problem with this is that in the People section, actors won't be credited for appearing in these shows. Do you think there is a way around it?

Yeah, I know for this problem, because the series cast have a different source code page such as, the source code page for the movies cast.

The script for the series is ready, but I still have it tested. When the script work properly, then I will script adding in the next reply.

ok, I noticed something. I guess is like a "minor detail" and it happens randomly. I can't really tell by which means, but it seems that, when I add an actor to the People section, his (or her) role in those series imported with Imdb Movie Script(cast-series) appears with a big chunk of blank spaces " "
So, for example, Alfred Hitchcock in Alfred Hitcock Presents says " Himself - Host (268 episodes 1955-1962)"
You can edit it. The detail is merely aestetic. It doesn't appear to be information lost
