Allmovie.com https

One more https transition. Allmovie.com script isn't possible to use anymore in PVD?

Kind regards.

[UtNut]

Same here, is there chance to work around https? Really love their comments.

[Ivek23]

Tests Proxomitron. I think this would be an ideal solution for your problems. I also attach a default.cfg file that already has an added solution for the Allmovie.com https connection. How and what is described in topic:
Proxomitron - next https solution for PVD.

I did not test if it works, because at present I have many family responsibilities (my father is seriously ill) and there is no time for testing.

BTW:
I will know more about this somewhere around the first of November, how and what will happen in the next few months to the end of March of the following year.

default.cfg file is attach.

Dear Ivek,

So sorry to hear about your father. Wish him well, please!

Thank you for your kind answer. Following your proxomitron guide I actually made it work for allmovie.com! The only strange thing is that it doesn't import AllMovie synopsis anymore.

Kind regards

Allmovie.com script requires mass updates, which I can not do with the current situation. But I hope that as soon as possible,
so stay tuned for messages.

At the moment and quickly, I made corrections only in the ParseSearchResults procedure so that the script finds search results for a specific movie.

Code: [Select]

procedure ParseSearchResults(HTML : String);
var
curPos, endPos : Integer;
Title, Year, URL, director : String;
begin
//List of other site number where search page :
TabNumber := [''];

// curPos := Pos('<option value="movies" selected>', HTML);
// curPos := Pos('div class="results-section movies">', HTML);
curPos := Pos('<li class="movie">', HTML);
if curPos < 1 then
Exit;

LogMessage('Parsing search results...');

//curPos := PosFrom('<a href="http://www.allmovie.com/movie/', HTML, curPos);
curPos := PosFrom('<a href="https://www.allmovie.com/movie/', HTML, curPos);
while curPos > 0 do begin
endPos := PosFrom('">', HTML, curPos);
URL := Copy(HTML, curPos + 9, endPos - curPos - 9);
    URL     := StringReplace(URL, 'https://', 'http://', True, True, False);

curPos := PosFrom('">', HTML, curPos)+2;
endPos := PosFrom('</a>', HTML, curPos);
Title := Copy(HTML, curPos, endPos - curPos);

curPos := PosFrom('</a>', HTML, curPos)+4;
endPos := PosFrom('</div>', HTML, curPos);
Year := RemoveTags(Trim(Copy(HTML, curPos, endPos - curPos)), false);

// curPos := PosFrom('">', HTML, curPos)+2;
// endPos := PosFrom('</a></dd>', HTML, curPos);
// director := RemoveTags(Trim(Copy(HTML, curPos, endPos - curPos)), false);

AddSearchResult(Title+' '+Year, '', '', URL, '');
curPos := PosFrom('<a href="https://www.allmovie.com/movie/', HTML, curPos);

end;

AddSearchResult('', '', '', '', '');

//Get Name of movie to search :               
    MovieName := GetFieldValue(2);
    Explodestring(MovieName,TabMovieName,#32);
    MovieName := '';
    For I:=low(TabMovieName) to High(TabMovieName) do
    Begin
    MovieName := MovieName + #43 + TabMovieName[I];
MovieName := StringReplace(MovieName, '/', '-', true, false, true);
    end;
//Add Links to Page with other sites in TabNumber:
    For I := Low(TabNumber) to High(TabNumber) do
    Begin
URL := 'http://www.allmovie.com/search/movies/'+MovieName;
//AddSearchResult('Search in '+MovieName+' on AllMovie.com','Movie results','',URL,'');
AddSearchResult('Search in '+MovieName+' on AllMovie.com','','',URL,'');
  end;
 
end;

AllMovie.com_new_HTTPS script
version 1.1.2.5

I managed to fix the AllMovie.com_new script, which now has a new name and is now called the AllMovie.com_new_HTTPS script.

There may be some other errors, but maybe they might be corrected later.

AllMovie.com_new_HTTPS script  is attached.


For all guests:

You can find a link to download the script in AllMovie.com_new_HTTPS Movie Links topic.

Thank you, Ivek. The script works for me, but only with Proxomitron. Thank you.

Kind regards,

Best wishes for your father, Ivek.

I am pleased. This was the only possible and quick solution to my current situation, which I could do for you all.

Thanks. Fortunately, his situation is getting better.

I'm always amazed how you're able to work around these things Ivek, even HTTPS doesn't stop you!
A clever constructed combination with Proxomitron allows this noob to gather information wanted from, in my case, Allmovie.com. I'm thanking you wholeheartedly for the many contributions you made and for keeping PVD alive, making it still the best movie database there is. I'm slowly approaching 5,000 records and I haven't found anything like it. I will also wish you all the best fixing your eyesight problems, if it would be helpful to you, my father in law of 86 years old just had his cataracts operations and now is able to see clearly and sharply without his glasses he was wearing for more than 66 years.
Many thanks again.

Hello Ivek

Is Allmovie script still working? It's not working for me .
I Installed  Proxomitron as you said in (Proxomitron - next https solution for PVD) Topic and download (AllMovie.com_new_HTTPS script version 1.1.2.6) But still
not working and gives me this Error: IOHandler Value Is Not Valid.

The IOHandler Value Is Not Valid message means you probably did not run the Proxomitron program or you do not have the correct default.cfg file in the Proxomitron program folder. Check to see if it will work and let me know, then we'll see if the script needs to be fixed.

You can also find the default.cfg file in this link:

I've downloaded the file and put it in the scripts folder, but Allmovie still doesn't appear as an import option, or in the plugins section under Preferences.  Did I miss a step?

Run PVD with debug.bat, then open log.txt to see if the script has errors or if it is in the Script folder at first. You copied AllMovie.com HTTPS.psf to the right folder, or not, it is also possible that it cannot be viewed as previously mentioned.

Okay, here's what the log file said about the Allmovie script:
