It seems that somehow the people script for IMDB has an issue getting the search results. Not sure if it is connected to the change regarding exact name matching or something else. (see also: http://www.binaryworks.it/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=10799).

Since looking at the script source gives me a headache but no idea what to with it I hope somebody will have a look at it.

Thanks.

Note: setting the direktlink to hXXp://akas.imdb.com/name/nm1234567/?ref_=fn_nm_nm_1 and using <Reupdate> works - information will be pulled from the web.

Hello,

I've post already in the other thread, but here what is my observation about IMDB.COM (Actors):

Although get the correct webpage for actor, the script get WebID like that "<link rel="canonical" href="http:" and import only biography, nothing else.

Regards.

Thats the poor thing on web-scraping.
IMDB changes one line in their html and everything is screwed up...

For a quick fix, search & replace the following line in the script:
#FINDLINE#=<meta name="title" content="Find - IMDb" />#10##ONERROR#=*OK*
with:
#FINDLINE#=<title>Find - IMDb</title>#10##ONERROR#=*OK*


OK, I quickly uploaded the new one (I've tested with Charlize Theron - looks good )

That's what I was hoping for. Thanks a lot for your work, rocman.

(Hopefully there's still enough private life going on besides Magic Sripting ... )

I updated to the latest IMDB (actors) and it did not reflect Rocman's fix!! I am manually going into it again to make the change to the script for it to pull right.

Ale - Please use Rocman's version....

That is weird...I made the fix in the old copy (and it worked) and redownloaded the new one (which over-wrote the script) and the error showed up again...

I will have to keep an eye on this one.
