I have reported that before, but now it's more defined as bug.
So, when I use IMDB complete it will not ask me to choose the right link in case it finds multiple possible links, and it might get the right one, it might not.
EXAMPLE: Margin Call (2011) movie. There is another Margin Call (2011) which is a TV Episode. ( http://www.imdb.com/find?q=margin+call&s=all )
The script didn't ask which is the right link, and it took the wrong one.
NOTE:In the OPTIONS, in the MagicScript section, "Take Automatically the First Link and Continue" is NOT checked and "Take the DirectLink if there is only one Found is checked.
One last question: How can I make the imdb script to take the correct link in order to correct the mistake?
Thanks in advance and thanks for all your efforts! |

OK, tested it... Yes, it will get the job done, but it needs to have every movie picked by me, which makes it so much time consuming!!!
All the functionality of the script in picking movies and in time saving is now gone...
I have said it before, but I will say it again. If there was a script that would choose from IMDB, only movies, all these problems wouldn't exist. |

Haven't to be honest, but wouldn't this remove a lot from the functionality of the script?
I will try it and post back with news... |

Sorry for late reply!
Maybe someone has already ask you this...
Have you disable the option in the Script "Use Intelligent Directlink Engine"?
Because this function compare the Title and Year and take the first...

So, no new ideas?
Ale, I'm not in any hurry but I would really like to hear your opinion in this... :) |

Yes, it did change to something simpler, but still, no importing...
It would be really usefull to have a script ONLY for movies, like there is this one from IMDB for TV Series.
This way it would save a lot of time for everyone who doesn't have any series in his collection, cause he will be bothered from useless series episodes that appear as possible matches to your movie.
I would really like to hear Ale's opinion on this... |

Well, it's another result page than the other search returns.
I think you will even get no option to select, am I right? So the result parsing has to be modified, too.
For easier modifying there should be added &view=simple to the webquery.
Maybe Ale or someone else can make the needed changes... |

So here is what happened.
It kind of worked, but only until one part:
It imported only the Title and the link and the title is: "IMDb: Most Popular Feature Films/Videos/TV Movies With Title Matching "Night at the Museum""
As for the link, that's where it leads:
I guess that it indeed can search only for movies, but it cannot import the movie in the end.
Any other ideas? |

You're right, my fault... I haven't thought of the aka address.
You have to modify the first line:
#WEBQUERY#=http://akas.imdb.com/search/title?title=#MOVIE#&title_type=feature,tv_movie,video |

OK, I'm in the IMDB.COM (complete) in Script Editor and i found these two:
#WEBQUERY#=http://akas.imdb.com/find?s=tt&q=#MOVIE#
#WEBQUERYID#=http://akas.imdb.com/Details?#MOVIEUPDATEID#
They don't look the same as yours (they are similar though, I have to admit).
Which one should change and how? |
| JDommi |
Posted - 06 Jan 2013 : 18:37:15
Just replace the search string in the sript from http://www.imdb.com/find?q=*MOVIENAME*&s=all to http://www.imdb.com/search/title?title=*MOVIENAME*&title_type=feature,tv_movie,video
It's the webquery that you have to change!
Unfortunately I don't have XMM here @work therefor you have to look yourself at.
And don't worry qabout the post command. The change will work or it will not work ;) |

hmmmm...OK, but I have no idea where to modify what...
Is there something in the Script Editor, while I have IMDB.COM (Complete) opened, that should be changed there?

I didn't exactly understand what you mean here... What you mean by "post command"? |

I understand your way, it's quite neat... :)
I like it, but i have my way. It's a little bit more manual, but I like it as it is.
Yes, when I was doing any update, I was on the Database root of the tree.
I tried the Movies root, but it still chose the wrong link. Again a TV episode as all the examples above. Now it was Deja Vu (2006).
Me too have in XMM only movies and I am not interested in importing series.
Is there any way to instruct the script to search only for movies and not TV Series? |

Just a note on how I do my movies. I have a folder with the movie name, Inside the folder I have the movie (named the same as the folder)and a shortcut to the IMDB file. I also create a text file in that folder named the same as the movie with the imdb link inside. I rename that folder extension .txt to .nfo.
Ale also added an option to copy the covers to the same folder as the movie from within EMM so I copy the movie cover in there also.
This gives me a cover when I am browsing the drive with my WD player and also if someone borrows that drive, they can simply click on the IMDB link to get info.
EMM always gets the right movie doing it this way, but it does require a little clean up before you store them.
I also don't have any of my TV episodes stored within EMM so maybe the default is to check for a TV series before a movie?
When you do your update, are you on the Database root of the tree or are you in the Movies section? Just another thought :-)
Glad we got part of it working at least :-)

Finally! That one worked! Thank you my friend!!!
OK, I found why this is happening.
When the script searches for a movie and there is also a TV episode that contains its name and has the same year, it takes the episode and not the movie without asking!
Same thing happened right now with Cars 2!!!
http://www.imdb.com/find?q=cars+2&s=all
It took the Cars 2 (2011) (TV Episode) - Just Seen It (2011) (TV Series) instead of the movie. I really need a way to fix this!
What I use is a chain with 2 scripts:
1) THEMOVIEDB.ORG (API)
2) IMDB.COM (Complete)
The thing is that I cannot find any way to fix that except changing it manually as JustME said.
UPDATE:
Same with Children of Men
http://www.imdb.com/find?q=children+of+men&s=all
It chose the Children of Men (2007) (TV Episode) - Galacticast (2006) (TV Series) |

Another brute force approach: change the title (temporarly) to the ttXXXX value of the IMDB entry and start the search. This should find the right information. |
