Personal Video Database 1.0.2.7 MOD

[afrocuban]

First, I'm wondering if the IMDB_ [EN] [HTTPS] (afrocuban) script is working properly.

It works great for the movies and episodes. It doesn't import directors for the series, though.

Best regards

[afrocuban]

and it still doesn't import non-Latin (titles in cyrillic, in my case)...

IMDB_ [EN] [HTTPS] V 1.4.1.4 script

I fixed some bugs in the code section for ParsePage_IMDBMovieCREDIT (Full cast and crew section except Cast section).

CHANGE LOG :
            V 1.4.1.4 (19/10/2020) Ivek23: ParsePage_IMDBMovieCREDIT (Full Cast and Crew section) = Corrected parts of the code.

IMDB_ [EN] [HTTPS] V 1.4.1.4 script is attached.

First, I'm wondering if the IMDB_ [EN] [HTTPS] (afrocuban) script is working properly.

It works great for the movies and episodes. It doesn't import directors for the series, though.

The IMDB_ [EN] [HTTPS] script only downloads the Cast section for the series, so the IMDB_ [EN] (HTTPS] (series) or IMDB_ [EN] [HTTPS] (series) (Miguelh1020) script must be used.

This is the screenshot of Modern Family series (not episode(s)). We see directors of all episodes there. I can't remember how to get that. Thank you in advance.

Now this should be done using scripts for the series.

and it still doesn't import non-Latin (titles in cyrillic, in my case)...

In the script, set from

in

CODE_PAGE      =0 ;

or

CODE_PAGE      =28595 ;

It might work. You also have a link to the code page below.

Thanks Ivek. I will try changing code page, and wil let you know

The IMDB_ [EN] [HTTPS] script only downloads the Cast section for the series, so the IMDB_ [EN] (HTTPS] (series) or IMDB_ [EN] [HTTPS] (series) (Miguelh1020) script must be used.
Now this should be done using scripts for the series.

Unfortunately, not a single IMDb script import directors of the series for me. I tried them all. Does it import directors for you?

[afrocuban]

28595 works for me to import cyrillic, but then it doesn't work to import Latin. I am absolutely positive that 65001 worked for me in the past. What could went wrong in the meantime, do you have any idea?

What about that, maybe it'll be okay now.

Thanks for reporting error. No, this is my mistake because I only tested with Imdb url addresses.

The rest is fine.

You are welcome and thank you for correcting it. I guess in Cinema1 we will get all the names from fullcredits page? I couldn't find description for what this field is. At the moment only occupations are imported without any name.

Thanks Ivek.

So is this how it is supposed Cinema1 to contain only occupations, and not names? What would be the purpose of this field then, except for the link to full credits? Can you please upload a screenshot of this field from your database? I'd just like to compare yours and mine...

[Ivek23]

The Cinema1 custom box now has the correct information and is exactly the same as my Cinema1 custom box, so there's no reason to take a screenshot of my Cinema1 custom box. in the attachment, there is a Cinema custom field, which contains information for the credits listed below, which have names and a url link to the website.

    • Directed by
    • Writing Credits
    • Produced by
    • Music by
    • Cinematography by
    • Thanks

   • Cast (in credits order) is in the normal field for players.

A screenshot has been added for 10 Things I Hate About You movie.

[afrocuban]

Thanks Ivek! My Cinema field looks the same, as well. Still, I don't get it what's the purpose of Cinema1 field? Can you please explain it, or put a link where it is explained? Thanks in advance!

In the Cinema1 custom box, there are only a list of records of the areas, what all was involved in the exact specific movie, series and so on. Here, this list is just for the purpose of what the areas are, but there are no names or links here like in the Custom Cinema box.

IMDB_[EN][HTTPS]_(Cast&Crew) script is attached.

[afrocuban]

Thank you Ivek. You posted corrected script just before I clicked submit my post on old script importing results. I have now used corrected IMDB_[EN][HTTPS]_(Cast&Crew).psf and change the code as follows:

Code: [Select]

//GET_CREW_CREDIT  = True ;  //Download Cast and Credit provider page for retreive the some credits (crew) info. Otherwise set to False to only the Directors, Writers, Composers, Producers, Cinematography and Thanks info of the Cast and Credit provider page. 
  GET_CREW_CREDIT  = True ;  //Download Cast and Credit provider page for retreive the some credits (crew) info. Otherwise set to False to only the Directors, Writers, Composers, Producers, Cinematography and Thanks info of the Cast and Credit provider page.
  GET_FULL_CREW_CREDIT  = True ;  //Download Cast and Credit provider page for retreive the more  some credits (crew) info. Otherwise set to False to only the Directors, Writers, Composers, Producers and Cinematography + (GET_CREW_CREDIT = True) info of the Cast and Credit provider page.
Now I get it that actually this field isn't for full credits as seen on original IMDb page. Names are imported in Cinema field, and Cinema1 shows all possible fields which can be imported to Cinema, as I understand.

Still, while tested for http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0058672/fullcredits these names are missing from Cinema field, and occupations are stated in Cinema1 field, or it is somehow limited

  GET_CREW_CREDIT  = True ;  //Download Cast and Credit provider page for retreive the some credits (crew) info. Otherwise set to False to only the Directors, Writers, Composers, Producers, Cinematography and Thanks info of the Cast and Credit provider page.
  GET_FULL_CREW_CREDIT  = True ;  //Download Cast and Credit provider page for retreive the more  some credits (crew) info. Otherwise set to False to only the Directors, Writers, Composers, Producers and Cinematography + (GET_CREW_CREDIT = True) info of the Cast and Credit provider page.

Leave it as it is here. Twice you have the GET_CREW_CREDIT option to make it easier to select the option you just need or want to use (once False, which is blocked, and True, which is not already blocked).

Now I get it that actually this field isn't for full credits as seen on original IMDb page. Names are imported in Cinema field, and Cinema1 shows all possible fields which can be imported to Cinema, as I understand.

Hold this and you are also thinking in the right direction.

There really isn't that, because there is no code in the script at all. It kind of made sense to me to just add this below.

  5. Cast & Crew field info names:   
   •   Directed by
   •   Writing Credits  // NO (WGA)
   •   Cast (in credits order)  // Only data info in normal Actors field
   •   Produced by
   •   Music by
   •   Cinematography by

There really isn't that, because there is no code in the script at all. It kind of made sense to me to just add this below. The rest of what is seen in the Cinema1 custom field would put too much strain on the IMDB_ [EN] [HTTPS] _ (Cast & Crew) script when transferring information, as well as the entire PVD database.
