Is this needed because IMDb plugin wasn't updated?
Of course, by the time that as long as Nostra not fix Imdb plugin. It can also be used to update only techspecs without updating the rest of the data. I'll use the script to update only techspecs data for about 500 movies in more Databases.
If that was the case, does that mean techspecs won't be included in IMDb plugin anymore?
No, it's not, I think it will not happen.
So, if that is the case, once again, is it possible, Ivek, to make a batch file, so called IMDb-all-in-one, and to update it, too?
No, not a problem, imdb+Imdb Movie(tech specs) Batch file is created and attached in zip and 7z format. It's hard for a regular user to track which fields are included and which aren't in IMDb plugin. Especially because when IMDb tech specs were included in IDMb plugin, all of us gave different name to a custom field (for example, I gave it a name "IMDb Tech Specs"), so whenever you update this script, I have to edit it to change correspondent custom field name, or to change a skin I use to accommodate appropriate techspecs field name and to run the script again, right?
It is true that after each update script to change the name of techspecs custom fields. An easier way to change the name [enter your name ("IMDb Tech Specs") for techspecs custom field] techspecs for custom fields is to just open the script with Notepad and change this part of code
//if fullinfo <> '' then AddCustomFieldValueByName('Technical Specs:', fullinfo);
if fullinfo <> '' then AddCustomFieldValueByName('IMDb Tech Specs', fullinfo);
curPos := EndPos;
end;
end;
procedure ParseSearchResults(HTML : String);
and all the work is done without further intervention in the skin.
That's all you will need to do, when the new update for script.
