PVD Python Scripts / Re: PVD Selenium MOD v4 IMDb Movie Script Confusion
« Last post by Pacifist on November 30, 2025, 09:37:03 am »
Afrocuban's IMDB-Selenium isn't working for me again. The \Scripts\Tmp\ app is completely empty when I try to launch it, and the window asking whether to Cancel, Retry or Continue (Ignore) keeps popping up. Maybe I need to update Python, but I forgot how to do this via the command line in PowerShell. Could you please tell me? Thanks.

To be clear, these parts work correctly, my fixes to some of the code are only cosmetic in nature. Below are examples of what I had in mind.



Oh, ok then. Unfortunately, the cosmetics is very important to my custom skin design to visually separate fields and sections (screenshot below), so it would be huge overload for me to keep two versions when updating.

Regarding cleanning FullInfo, it is very important section for many reasons, and I admit it was always too clummsy for me to clean so I was primarily focused on it to work, and I will clean it at next update release.


Thanks for reviewing though!

Hey, Ivek. Thanks. Can you please post examples or imdb links where those matters and my code doesn't work? I just can't grasp just by looking at the code. Thanks.

PVD Python Scripts / Re: PVD Selenium MOD v4 IMDb Movie, People and FilmAffinity Scripts
« Last post by Ivek23 on November 29, 2025, 07:33:59 am »
I tested it, IMDB_Movie_[EN][Selenium]-v4.psf and IMDB_People_[EN][Selenium]-v4.psf work fine, with some errors in certain information, where it will be necessary to fix parts of the code in the scripts. The errors have been there for a long time and have not been fixed. The code fixes will be described and added below.

As for FilmAffinity_Movie_[EN][Selenium]-v4.psf, I have not tested it.

PVD Python Scripts / PVD Selenium MOD v4.3 IMDb Movie, People and FilmAffinity Scripts
« Last post by afrocuban on November 28, 2025, 08:01:39 am »
Here are v4.3 scripts.

1. Unpack the first 7z in "PersonalVideoDB" folder (3 files, overwrite existing, but backup them first if you want).
2. Unpack the second 7z in your "Scripts" folder. It is safe to move everything from it before extracting. These are all you need to safely run PVD with python.


You need all of these in order PVD to run as intended. Especially People script is complex, since I have integrated options to make it easier to dynamically update them and not to wait at all for deceased or the people that have only name and url. Test it.

If something desn't work, first check:
1. That you are running same version of Chrome and chromedriver.
2. That you installed whatever is needed for Python to work as described so far on this topic.

If that doesn't help, please publish screenshots and logs, so I could reproduce the issue too and being able to fix it.

Please test and let me know if everything work or not.


Enjoy!

New v4.3 Files

Most comprehensive and stable I have done so far. Two main things:

1. New PVD Scripts Configurator built from scratch in Python Tkinter. Much better GUI than AHK.
    Nice quirk - I have introduced dark/light theme for it as in the first photo. Reordered tabs, so default tab is IMDb Movie tab. You can still use both configurators (second photo - new Configurator has prefix "py"), all updated to v4.3, same options and functionalities. I'm giving them all now, for continuity, but in the future, most probably I will discontinue AHK. In any case, I'm giving .ahk file so anyone can maintain it in the future. I will stick to Python TKinter GUI.


2. As anounced earlier, new  **UPDATE DYNAMIC VALUES ONLY** switch for a fast update of only certain dynamic fields.

CHANGE LOG :
V 4.3.0.1 (11/15/2025) afrocuban: Script Configurator Enhancements
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Built from the scratch new  PythonTkinter Script Conigurator:
    • It has all the functionalities as AHK. 
    • Plus litght/dark theme developed
    • Unlike AHK can be used as a standalone application with the same effect as when invoked in PVD.
   
- Added new feature in Script Configurator to enable and manage saved settings from `pvdconf.ini`:
    • **USE SAVED PVDCONFIG** now needs to be enabled to unlock configuration options below. 
    • This allows users to apply settings that require a restart of Personal Video Database upon saving. 
    • **Use this setting carefully!** Any changes will take effect only after clicking "Save All Script Configurations" (which will restart the application). 
- **UPDATE DYNAMIC VALUES_ONLY**: 
   • Allows users to update only **dynamic values** like Rating, Top 250, Metascore, and Number of votes. 
    • Updates the **Awards summary** for movies released within the last two years, capturing recent wins for fresh releases.
    • When disabled, additional configuration options become available for comprehensive updates.
    • Now poster can be downloaded from any page - separate procedure provided for it in Script Configurator,
    • Single Instance in Script Configurator. No more flooding with multiple instance by mistake.
    • Redesigned whole script to now accept UPDATE DYNAMIC VALUES ONLY switch properly
