PVD Selenium MOD v4 IMDb Movie Script Confusion

[Ivek23]

As a note. For some reason, at some point the page with the film stops filling. For example, "Graf Dracula in Oberbayern" (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0079230/). You can see how the TMP folder is filled in the scripts, but all the fields on its page in the PVD are empty. Even the user ones. And I can't figure out if this is a problem in the program itself (some kind of glitch) or a problem in the script.

I don't understand what's going on. It's obvious that the data is also printed in the log file, but then the script doesn't load it into the database in this case. The error is in the script, but I don't know yet where the errors are. Because I'm testing now, by areas behind the errors.

The reason why this movie title does not add any information to the database has been found, because there is no data on Awards and ParentsGuide, which the script should add to the database. The solution is to run the SeleniumPVDbScriptsConfig-v4 script, in which you uncheck the Download Awards page and Download ParentalGuide page boxes, which are located under Limit on number totals. Once you do this, click the description below to restart PVD to restart and load PVD, then run the IMDB_Movies_[EN][Selenium]-v4script again and it will now download all the data and add it to the database.

Once all the data is in the database, you may need to run the script again to add any missing data. Once you get the data into the database, you will run the SeleniumPVDbScriptsConfig-v4 script again and check the Download Awards page and Download ParentalGuide page boxes again so that for the second movie title, where all the pages with data are, it will download all the data and add it to the database, otherwise the same problem may occur again or it will not download all the data from additional web pages

The next time you have similar problems, first click on the Alltopic button on the website to check which pages are blacked out or check if the pages have data and repeat the above-mentioned and described procedure.

Are you talking about these settings in general and the Awards item in particular? Thanks!

I suddenly have something strange happening with Selenium. If you take the log file as an example, you can see that instead of a couple dozen kilobytes, this file starts to swell to megabytes.. PWD freezes and does not enter anything into the database. And this is not in any particular movie, but in all that I tried to enter today.

Not about these, but about these settings, which are in the image added below.

The source code for the UserReviews area has been changed again, which is why this is happening. I will see what can be done about this problem in the next few days.

Welcome.

Everything transferred normally for me.


The Imdb Reference view has switched to a new, changed web page design, and with it, changes have also been made to the source code of these pages.
Now, however, a problem has arisen, because due to these changes, a lot of information is no longer transferred, because in the script there were many parts of the code linked to the reference pages.

Now, it is necessary to completely rearrange or rewrite both the IMDB_Movie_[EN][Selenium]-v4 and IMDB_Movies_[EN][Selenium]-v4 scripts, or perhaps some others, which requires a lot of time and work. will have to wait for the Afrocuban user to return, because as the author of the scripts he knows the concept of the written scripts best.

He also mentioned that he will wait until the scripts are corrected until the Imdb Reference view web pages switch to the new web page design. When he will return is another question, maybe soon in a few weeks, maybe only in a few months, we will see.

You can see an example of the new design at the link below.

Lately, information from IMDB is almost not loaded. For example, Nagagutsu o Haita Neko (1969, https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0064714/). And so with most films.

I don't know what's going on, because I'm not using any IMDB_Movies_[EN][Selenium]-v4 script versions at the moment. And I won't be using them for quite some time. afrocuban user has been away for quite some time, so he can fix these scripts as best he can, because he knows the design of these scripts. He'll probably be away for quite some time, and the question here is how long it will be before he returns.

Hello Ivek23,

can you tell us what combination of scripts what are you using ?

Hello Ivek23,

can you tell us what combination of scripts what are you using ?

Since you are in the Python scripts section, you must first have Python and its plugins installed. You can find what and how to install Python in the sticky topics and documentation mentioned above. You also need gecko or chrome driver to run Python scripts.

Then you need the following files, Python scripts and programs listed below in the PVD Scripts folder.

- BE_PATIENT_PLEASE-DOWNLOADING_DATA file

 - NoImage2AvailableForPVD.png
 - NoPhoto2AvailableForPVD.png

 - purge_tmp_files.vbs

 - IMDB_Movies_[EN][Selenium]-v4.psf
 - IMDB_Movies_[EN][Selenium]-v4.bak
 - SeleniumPVDbMovieScriptsConfig-v4.psf
 - SeleniumPVDbPeopleScriptsConfig-v4.psf

 - Selenium_Chrome_Base_page_v4.py
 - Selenium_Chrome_DownloadImage-v4.py
 - Selenium_Chrome_IMDB_Episode_List_page_v4.py
 - Selenium_Chrome_Movie_Additional_pages_v4.py
 - Selenium_Chrome_People_Additional_pages_v4.py
 - Selenium_Chrome_Search-v4.py

 - SeleniumPVDbScriptsConfig-v4.ahk
 - seleniumpvdbscriptsconfig-v4.exe
 - SeleniumPVDbScriptsConfig-v4.ini

 - chromedriver.exe or geckodriver.exe

The above is what you need for PVD and Python scripts to work. Whether this still works is another question, because certain parts of the source code of the IMDb pages have changed.

If you want or use the Firefox browser, let me know, so I can attach Python scripts with Firefox settings and geckodriver.exe .

Hello,

i was using the Selenium chrome scripts till they changed the page and they stopped pulling data.

in a previous post you said:

And I won't be using them for quite some time. afrocuban user has been away for quite some time, so he can fix these scripts as best he can, because he knows the design of these scripts.

I was asking what scripts you are using to pull data now.


Thank you .

Sorry, but I'm not currently using any scripts or anything that uses Python to download data. I'm not currently working on PVD, which uses Python scripts to download data from the IMDb websites.

As you mentioned below, which I already wrote a few months ago.
