I use XMM10. Main script for downloading movie data is, of course, IMDB. For a long time it worked incorrectly, downloaded seversl persons as Directors instead of one Director. Now it cannot download movie data at all. No Country, no Year, no Director. And no any updates to script! No new versions of XMM, version 11 is a stub only, it doesn't work. What we paid for? I am ready to pay more, but I want to have a correctly functioning movie database. But it seems like development is abandoned. |

Hi Sabry!
Maybe they are testing something...
We have to wait for the next days if there are really changes in progress. |

Hi JDommi,
it seems that the script "IMDB.COM (TVSeries)_12_2024" doesn't grab anymore cast and crew of the shows, also inside the episodes all the fields for actors, directors, writers are blank.
I noticed some changes in the website, maybe that's the reason why the script cannot run correctly.
Could you have a look?
Thanks :)
[Edit] I tried again today and now the script it's working! |

In the main menu go to MagicScript. Then open MagicScript Editor or Script Debugger.
MagicScript Editor:
1. Enter the search word top right.
2. Open a script.
3. Scroll to the defective Block.
4. Search for a special line where you want to start the line-by-line debugging.
5. Klick on the big red point in the top to set this break point. In the tab Variables you can set this line number at the bottom.
Attention: There is a "bug" in the original editor that stops the script always one line later!
6. The green running man (3rd icon) runs the script.
7. The walking man (4th icon) executes the script line by line.
8. The pause button toggles between normal execution and debugging.
9. The big square stops the script.
Script Debugger:
The buttons should be easy to identify.
Additionally you have normal editor options, etc.

To debug scripts you can use the internal MagicScript Editor or my plugin Script Debugger.
Thanks you for the superfast reply. Sadly the problem remains the same. the script cycles thru 20 movies repeatedly
Scripts: I understand the basic scripting language. what I dont understand is how to debug a script so
get it to stop at a line
step through the script a line at a time
etc
Is this what your plugin script debugger does and if so, where can I find it
Advice greatly appreciated

Happy new year from me, too 
Please try this script: https://www.mediafire.com/file/731dfl2hkc0fi7j/IMDB.COM_%2528Complete%2529.txt/file
But I think that a few info like MovieConnections may not work. (I've just began to write a script for XMM 10 to retrieve ALL information from those pages containing "See more" buttons.)
To debug scripts you can use the internal MagicScript Editor or my plugin Script Debugger.

Hi
Happy New year to all
Ive just downloaded and tried
https://www.mediafire.com/file/a3hh0dxnuigsumy/IMDB.COM_%2528Complete%2529_11_2024.txt/file
and all it does is go very rapidly (1 - 2 sec) through the 20 or so movies that need processing without out doing anything
Anybidy else have this problem
Also where can I find a quick guide to debugging scripts? I cant even see how to pause execution and step though the script |

I tried with this one "IMDB.COM (TVSeries)_11_2024" posted on 19.11.2024.
The script worked until few days ago... so something should have changed recently.
Thanks |

Did you have tested the script from above (20.11.2024), Sabry?
If that script won't work, too, I will have a look at it again this week. |

Hi JDommi,
When I run the script to add a tv series it doesn't find anything.
I tried with different titles but no one works.
Thank you |

Hi Sabry,
please say what is not working... The search or any of the data? |

Thank you! |

Hi Mawu
Thanks for the list, but even there are not all the new genres like Superhero in Constantine (2005).
In my opinion these new subgenres are a little bit too much. Especially when on the same page there is existing a line with these subgenres and one line with the old genres only. Really an unsorted mix...
I think I will wait until there is a little more consistency too see. |

Hello JDommi,
I think IMDB is a little bit inconsistent at the moment with the genres on th emain site of a movie mixing genre and subgenre.
Here are the lists:
Genres:
https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/titles/genres/GZDRMS6R742JRGAG#
Subgenres:
https://help.imdb.com/article/contribution/titles/keywords/GXQ22G5Y72TH8MJ5?ref_=helpms_helpart_inline#subgenres |

I just have seen that there are a lot of new genres on IMDB - Epic, Serial Killer, Superhero, etc. Additionally there are several combinations as Action Epic or Superhero Fantasy.
So my Question: Do we need new pics for those genres? For the combinations I would say no as they have an entry a itself and as both separated (complete nonsens in my eyes).
What do you think? And which styles are new? I didn't have found a list so far. |
