IMDB-Full script update -> Description field import fix (1 Viewer)

I tried, but I couldn´t fix the extra-spaces problem. Sorry

Yeah same here - regex gives me a headache and I am sure it kills brain cells LOL

@z3us: I worked on the IMDB-Full some time ago, but it wasn't finished so not pushed it to repo - but maybe you can use some of what I did - iirc, I also handled some of the spacing stuff there ...

I also have a lot more trouble getting covers now - they only download occasionally for me now. I suspect that is due to the much larger images on IMDB? Even in Grabber Engine the image won't display until I 'preview' the URL Cover parameter on the Detail Page. Though I am not 100% sure that is a 'new' issue

Yes there is a problem with those, originals are very big, but you can trick them with appending size on the end of the file

ie:

Image seen on IMDB:
http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV5BMjE5NDQ5OTE4Ml5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwOTE3NDIzMw@@._V1_.jpg

with trick:

http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV5BMjE5NDQ5OTE4Ml5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwOTE3NDIzMw@@._V1_SX400.jpg

SX means X axis (width), IMDB will auto scale Y axis. You can play with SX value which will do do the job and use that in scraper

PS also you can use SY[value] if its more proper, than IMDB will autoscale X axis

Thanks Deda - very useful info! And also should save a lot of bandwith.
But what happens, if picture is smaller - will it be upscaled?
Will have to test that a bit ;-)

@Deda - is that only supported on IMDB or any other sites?
