Personal Video Database

PVD mod v1.0.2.7 no longer retrieving data from IMDB.com to update the database even after the url for the movies is set .

Then use the import button with IMDB_[EN][HTTPS]_TEST_1.psf set to retrieve the data. 
This use to work but now no longer does whats up with this.


Below is the above .pst script that use to work after inputting the found imdb's url for the movie can be download from below:

IMDB Search still not working you already know.  If I input the URL for each of the movies not found then run/import using IMDB [EN][HTTPS]_TEST_1 All the information is downloaded for each of the movies.   Just the search to find does not work. 

Hello Ivek23,

Just finished updating the movie database once more using 'IMDB_ [EN] [HTTPS] _TEST_1';  2 movies that downloaded the Description also downloaded a bunch of jibber-jabber jargin thereafter as well, making the Description very lengthy; requiring me to manually clean it up.  Perhaps you could test the movies yourself to see if a fix should be applied to the script.
They were both animation type movies:
The Bobs Burgers Movie (2022)    and
The Sea Beast (2022)

Edit:
Added another movie 'The Phantom Of The Open (2021)' and it downloaded same jargin for Description+ above.

Edit:
Jurassic World Dominion (2022) -- Description added to database after download is nothing like the Description presented on IMDB's site for this movie.

The Black Phone (2021) -- Description added to database after download is similar to the Description presented on IMDB's site for this movie but it is not the same.
Example:
Downloaded Description added to database:
Finney Blake is a shy but clever 13-year-old boy who is abducted by a sadistic killer and trapped in a soundproof basement where screaming is of no use. When a disconnected phone on the wall begins to ring, Finney discovers that he can hear the voices of the killer's previous victims. And they are dead-set on making sure that what happened to them doesn't happen to Finney.

Description given on IMDB's site:
After being abducted by a child killer and locked in a soundproof basement, a 13-year-old boy starts receiving calls on a disconnected phone from the killer's previous victims.

Thanks Ivek23

One more thing I noticed is that out of 35 of the last movies I added to my database, 27 of them are missing the Genre.
Is there anyway you can make a simple script that will allow me download the Genre for the selected movies that need it to be updated?


Thanks for all your help.

Thanks You, for your support.

IMDB_[EN][HTTPS].psf v1.4.1.5 no longer gets the image/poster or movie description, nor the IMDB Votes and Ratings
It does get actors and url which is displayed as http:// and not https://

I've been using TheMovieDB_[EN][API].psf V1.0.0.3 It seems to work for most movies. If not then I have to go to Imdb.com search for the movie, then copy and paste the url link for the movie then use import with TheMovieDB [EN][API] as the selection.

Thank you very much for the scripts I will give it a try a soon as I can.  Most probably this weekend.

"IMDB Main pages, have no transfer of posters, ratings, producer, composer, description as well as information related additional IMDB web pages."  Not to mention "Original Title" which for a great deal of movies will show up in PVD database as "Var Ue_t0=window.ue_t0||+new Date();" which while scanning you are constantly having to select to "Preserve All Copies" in the database.

This issue has been going on since about the beginning of 2016 when IMDB.com changed their website look until now; almost half a year ago and still I have not got the solution and basically have to keep enter all information by hand (copy/paste) from IMDB's site.

Has anyone as yet come up with a solution since IMDB.com changed their website look?

pvd v1.0.2.7 and IMDB [EN] v0.9.8.26 problems
1. No cover images or posters are downloaded.
2. No IMDB Ratings are downloaded
3. Original Name is nothing more than a bunch of mumbo-jumbo for some movies.  And once that gets downloaded, I get a pop-up saying I already have the movie in the database, do I want to merge them etc.

Thank you Ivek23 for helping me understand what to look for/at in the script(s).  It works great.
