IMDB not importing all data

engineer · 2007-02-21, 05:19

I have been importing IMDB data for all my movies on my HD. Working fine. Today, every movie I try to get IMDB info on, only gets Picture, Title, description and Director. I no longer get movie length, actors or genre information. Refreshing movie doesn't work either. I have completely un-installed MP and re-installed to another folder. Still nothing. IMDB finds the movie starts to download, but stops after director and art. No errors in logs.

I have the same issue, might be something to do with IMDB changing their layout on their website but not sure on that. Anyone else have this issue? And even better does anyone else have a fix?

Same problem here... they seemed to have updated the imdb-site..

IMDB search has gone out of the window, 2 examples

Johnny English, cannot find (did previously), type in english and it brings it up.
Not another teen movie, again cannot find, type in teen movie, all ok

There were many more, (must backup my database more often) that you had to just put in, part name to find.

All the actors information is also missing.

Same thing here, tried updating several movies, but none were found. It´s gotta have something to do with the new IMDB layout. The IMDB search developer should have a look at this and update the code in MP...
Have also tried the most recent SVN patches but that didn´t help

i have the same problem with other software, and the solution was to change the url where the script look for the info.

Actual format for imdb: us.imdb.com

Old fomat for imdb: former.imdb.com

Cheers

I dont understand how this is not being addressed as its a vital part of the software.

rpm any clue as to where I can make the change you suggested? I cant seem to find where I can access those settings I tried in the the setup but it just lets me choose from different data bases.

Thanks

it should be inside on one of the dll's, wich means that we have to wait until developers fix this problem.

Cheers
