plz

[spithash]

maybe username cares to fix this script, I don't know yet.. I've sent him a private message to maintain it, or let me know how he fixed the other perplexa's imdb script so I can understand what he changed so I can fix it, I seem to be pointing to the wrong lines/issues

Unfortunately I am not a coder but I am just trying to understand bits and parts of it and sometimes I succeed, that is all.

let us see

I love this script.

anyway, it is still available and still not working here: http://phobos.bsdunix.info/imdb.tcl

I looked over the script many times, i've managed to edit TCL scripts before, but i have no idea with this one, would be awesome if someone could update it tho

[caesar]

I bet ist's not working properly or at all mainly due to the simple fact that they (IMDB) may have changed the layout and thus killed the script.

I don't get it why isn't anyone doing something with this 3rd party IMDB API. It's a lot easier to fetch results from it.

Edit: Apparently isn't THAT good as I hoped, meaning that you can't search for instance "Batman" and see all results with that title, will just point you to the last one.

Has anyone been able to fix this yet?

The IMDb seems to have changed just the search request and the title of the search page so it's quite easy to fix:

Search for

Code: Select all

set imdbsearchurl "http://akas.imdb.com/find?tt=on;nm=on;mx=5;"

and change to

Code: Select all

set imdbsearchurl "http://akas.imdb.com/find?s=tt&exact=true&"

Then search for

Code: Select all

if { ([regexp {<title>IMDb.*Search} $html] == 1) } {

and change to

Code: Select all

if { ([regexp {<title>Find - IMDb} $html] == 1) } {

Based on the last mentioned version (posted here), I put the changes on pastebin.

That works great, thanks!

you also need to comment out these lines:

Code: Select all

    # channel_check permission
    if {$IMDB_DEBUG == 1} { putlog "IMDB_DEBUG permission_result == $permission_result" }
    if {$IMDB_DEBUG == 1} { putlog "IMDB_DEBUG instance == $instance" }
    if {![channel get $chan imdb]} { return }

I mean make it look like this:

Code: Select all

    # channel_check permission
#    if {$IMDB_DEBUG == 1} { putlog "IMDB_DEBUG permission_result == $permission_result" }
#    if {$IMDB_DEBUG == 1} { putlog "IMDB_DEBUG instance == $instance" }
#    if {![channel get $chan imdb]} { return }

The script is updated in this url: http://phobos.bsdunix.info/imdb.tcl

woot! thx bro!

If you feel that you don't get sufficient results e.g. for vague searches like "starship troopers 2012" you can disable exact title matching in the search url:

Instead of

Code: Select all

set imdbsearchurl "http://akas.imdb.com/find?s=tt&exact=true&"

just use

Code: Select all

set imdbsearchurl "http://akas.imdb.com/find?s=tt&exact=false&"

IMDb changed it's HTML code again.

Thank you, I updated the script with your edit gr11x

Hi,

imdb added some ads on their search page which in my case caused wrong search results. I've changed the following code to fix it:

Code: Select all

#searching for first ttcode
if [regexp {/title/tt[0-9]+} $temp ttcode] {

Code: Select all

#searching for first ttcode
if [regexp {\=\"/title/tt[0-9]+} $temp ttcode] {

Hope this helps someone.

[janari]

Yes, it really does help me, thank you.

Hi ppl, thanks for updating this script, i have a issue, hope somebody can help me.

I've made some changes on annouce format, but %genre not showing in the same line (it's supposed to do), dunno why, it's a script bug, or am i doing something wrong? Please help me

Annouce format:

Code: Select all

# set default announce format
set announce(IMDBIRC) "%bold%title%bold %url\n|%boldRATiNG:%bold %rating/10 (from %votes users) %boldRUNTiME:%bold %time\n|%boldGENRE:%bold %genre"

Output:

Code: Select all

<bot> Limitless (2011) http://imdb.com/title/tt1219289/
<bot> RATiNG: 7.4/10 (from 294,562 users) RUNTiME: 105min
<bot> GENRE: Mystery |
<bot>  Sci-Fi |
<bot>  Thriller

How it should be:

Code: Select all

<bot> Limitless (2011) http://imdb.com/title/tt1219289/
<bot> RATiNG: 7.4/10 (from 294,562 users) RUNTiME: 105min
<bot> GENRE: Mystery | Sci-Fi | Thriller

Code: Select all
