...but I tried this again 20 minutes later and could not reproduce the behaviour. So my experience is the problem is intermittent, but when it happens it's consistent.  :-\

Ah... an *interesting* problem :)

I'm still experiencing the same behaviour (after the latest update today) - works until fails, restart then works, repeat. So consistent from my perspective!

Is there some way to get previous versions of the IMDB import plugin to try out (as some posters here have mentioned that previously it just worked)? A diff on the source code between these versions (if that were the case) could be interesting.

As you've mentioned, the changed/changing feed from IMDB may be the culprit, but it doesn't gel with a restart of PVD always making the import work first time.

In any case, I'm now a 4 day old newbie user of PVD and am finding it is the functionality I was looking for. Kudos to all involved in making this available.

I did actually try as a logged in or not IMDB user but there was no difference.

Also looked at ngrep output to see if there was something awry in the stream from IMDB but nothing stood out.

That I can import from IMDB after a restart of PVD (debug mode) *everytime* but then it fails after 1-3 further attempts seems to indicate a client side issue. To be clear, once an import fails, it continues to fail, but once PVD is restarted that same import succeeds. A further import from IMDB may succeed, sometime twice or occassionally thrice more, but once it fails it's a restart again :( Painful!

I'd also like to stress that I've only had this limited success using the debug mode. I've been unable to connect for IMDB import ever (since yesterday when I first installed it :) ) using the "out of the box" PVD.

Hello,

I've just started using PVD from yesterday, and "out of the box" I am experiencing the same problems - nothing but the URL from IMDB being imported. Same MO as previous posters (after using debug mode), log shows the first GET then nothing, though there is download activity (about 100K) that goes on in the status.

Using the debug option helps somewhat but still fails on the IMDB import within 1-3 imports (4 was my maximum). A restart of PVD (debug mode) *always* successfully imports a manual request of IMDB import (non "New Movie Master") on first try, but then again 1-3 tries later it fails (manual or master import) - just the URL and another restart is required to continue.
