Hello Lastdino.

Well, in the meantime everything and completely changed. IMDb made it so hard for a year and a half to download info. The only way to get info from IMDB now is to use python and scripts. This is the place to to learn:

There are 2 ways at the moment but after you set up your system probably the easiest way is this

I must warn you that it is so slow now to get the info with this method (and pretty slow with both methods) but this one is painfull for mass updates and tolerable with a single add up:

Try to see if the link in my signature is displayed correctly to exclude possible errors of your browser. If so, and only your export is not displayed correctly, try to export only 1-2 test films (preferably which are in English, so that there is no character problem, because it can happen, very rarely, there may be a movie which has dubious characters and then it corrupts the whole list)


Haha, this community is indestructible. Great to see you back, Lastdino replying to my almost 6 years old post!


I tried the link in your signature and it works perfectly. I will try to export several films that should be common and will let you know.


Best regards

Thanks svenne. It's allways great to hear family takes first pace. Updated template works flawlessly. I wanted to ask you if you're willing to help with lastDino's template too, if that is viable for you. Thank you in advance!

Hi guys! Thanks again to everyone who has kept this project alive until now. I’m using the version IMDB_[EN][HTTPS]_TEST_2c.psf (at least, that’s what I was using when it worked :'( ) for importing from IMDb, but it hasn’t been working properly for quite a while now. Is there a functional version of this plugin, at least for importing basic movie information? I don’t need complicated things like awards, keywords, etc. All my movies have info downloaded only from IMDb so far, which is why I’d prefer to keep doing the same.

Did you start 4 chrome instances manually prior to run the PVD?
start chrome.exe --remote-debugging-port=9222 --user-data-dir="C:\PVD\1"
start chrome.exe --remote-debugging-port=9223 --user-data-dir="C:\PVD\2"
start chrome.exe --remote-debugging-port=9224 --user-data-dir="C:\PVD\3"
start chrome.exe --remote-debugging-port=9225 --user-data-dir="C:\PVD\4"

This i didn't do. Will try again next week when time permits.

Thank you

Hello, everybody!
Thanks for all the effort and the updates!!

Can I get a little assistance? I just can't make the Selenium scripts to work for me.
When I use any of them I get an "open" window, If I pick a .jpg file, it just loads it as a poster and stops. If I cancel the "open" window, the PVD gives an error message. Any idea what seems to be the problem?

Right now I'm downloading movie info with TheMovieDB[EN][API] script, which is pretty reliable
This can happen when searching for a movie and you don't have .png files in /Scripts folder. For other cases, I have no idea without logs.
