imdb-1.1.0.tcl help please

[meks]

hi everyone!

i just want to say thanks for all these continous updates, nice work here really!

on a sidenote, i just downloaded the new script imdb.2112.tcl and replaced the old one with it. however it seems this version is still omitting the rating, is it?
reason i'm asking is because, even if i leave the standard rosc output untouched, i only get the following output:

Code: Select all

as you can see, the rating (as well as some other unimportant stuff) is left out.

any clues as to how to solve that?


kind regards and thanks for the script

hi ov2!

i appreciate your reply, however i already tried the version you linked and it as well appears to be not up to date, the output i get by attempting to request ghost rider is:

Code: Select all

[28/02/07; 01:04:24] <@meks|dsk> !imdb ghost rider
[28/02/07; 01:04:28] <Pezibaer> Ghost Rider (2007) - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0259324/

[28/02/07; 01:04:36] <Pezibaer> Runtime: 114 mins.

the announcement is set the following:

Code: Select all

set announce(IMDBIRC) "%bold%title%bold - %url\n|Genre: %genre|\n|Tagline: %tagline|\n|Synopsis: %plot|\n|Rating: %rating (%votes votes) %rbar| |%color3%top250%color|\n|Awards: %awards|\n|Runtime: %time mins.|"

as you see, still no rating-output.

sorry, i know this is disturbing

[OV2]

Well - I fixed it before I made my post, so if you download the newest version it should work...

[rosc2112]

Note that I'm no longer updating the copy I had online, it should in fact be offline, so maybe you got a cached copy.

Edit: Weird, I'd renamed the file to *.old, but dandy.net was still providing it under the original *.txt name..I have no idea why. Anyway, it's now gone completely.

And yes, the new version from ov2 works

hi again,

thanks for your replies, i'm afraid its still not working

i tried to re-download the archive, apparently the output remained the same and theres still no rating.

i tried it using the http package as well as curl, no difference whatsoever.

any suggestions? or any information you want me to post?

[rosc2112]

Did you rehash? It does work. Try enabling the debug setting to see what's going on if you're still not seeing the ratings. This is what I get as a result, using the announce(IMDBIRC) setting posted previously with all tags enabled:

Code: Select all

hi again,

I think that this line

Code: Select all

regsub -all {\|[^\|]*?N/A[^\|]*?\|} $output "" output

in imdb.tcl can cause problems if you have more than one variable per output line.
It filters all announce parts which are surrounded by |'s and contain the string "N/A".

So if you e.g. added a rating announce like this

Code: Select all

|Rating: %rating (%votes votes) %top250|

then almost all !imdb requests but 350 exceptions (top 250 and bottom 100) will not show ratings because their top250 variable contains "N/A".

Try a rating announce like this

Code: Select all

|Rating: %rating (%votes votes)|| %top250|

instead as suggested in the default example.

[OV2]

That's right - having more than one variable on one line and still suppressing the corresponding output if no data is found is exactly the point of the encapsulation with the pipe character.

[chz]

meks is correct, the rating does not display at all. I have the exact problem and even tried what gr11x said to do, and it didn't fix the problem. So is there anything we can do to fix this? I really love this script, but the rating is the most important part.


Thanks,
chz

This is what I use, as posted previously:

Code: Select all

|%boldRating  :%bold %rating (%votes votes) %rbar| |%color5%top250%color|\n\

It works just fine when there is missing data. Note that the \ at the end of the line is because of how I format the entire announce(IMDBIRC) var, so that it's visually easier to see the entire block of code (see the previous page in this thread for the entire setting I use.)

This is how the result looks when all data is present:

Rating : 8.8/10 (185,974 votes) [*********-] Top 250: #12

And when some data is missing (eg, the top/bottom 250):

Rating : 8.4/10 (402 votes) [********--]

Edit: I thought the problem might've been the lack of a space in between the || chars in the other peoples' string, but I just tested it as

|%boldRating :%bold %rating (%votes votes) %rbar||%color5%top250%color|\n\

and that works as well. Tried it without color and bold codes, that worked too. And just on the off chance that my copy of the script had custom changes still that might've effected the result, I put in a clean copy from ov2's site, put in my usual announce(IMDBIRC) setting, did a restart, and tried it again, and that also worked.

So, I dunno what all the complaints are about. Post your entire announce(IMDBIRC) setting and we'll see if yours is broke. Also post which movies you're trying that aren't working.

[OV2]

@chz: did you use the newest version (28.02.2007) with the default output?

[meks]

hello again,

now i knew that its only a matter of time till i get a working copy out of you

i'm just posting to let you know that your latest release (28th feb) is working as expected, including the rating.

thanks

[rosc2112]

Thanks

Just one question for ya, what is the scene check for? I'm guessing it's when people ask for a particular release, like 'star wars uncut' ?
