Thanks for the solution but there is still some problem. If I try to update a movie already present the script does not import the information and always returns the same error as before (remote server error permalink 308)

Then there must be the same problem in the directlink function...
When I have a little more time I will try to fix that.

I have made it for XMM 10, but it should work with XMM 9, too.

Go to the "Help" tab in xMM -> Press "Check for Updates" button
all new scripts are listed. Select the new IMDB script and press "Start update" button.

I'm getting all the data, it appears, BUT NOT the movie poster. Are the posters working now for the rest of you?

Additionally, in importing data for 120 movies, 1/3 of them (non sequential) downloaded no data, despite the weblink being present and data being on IMDB's site.

The movies that wouldn't be imported (other than the weblink/directlink) do not have a "/" before the final | like this:

https://www.imdb.com//title/tt0019509|

Manually adding in the / to this:

https://www.imdb.com//title/tt0019509/|

and triggering a "Re-update automatically" see it importing data.

Why some movies being imported have the / and some don't is beyond me.

Even when manually fixing this, posters are still not imported.

I hope that I will have time to fix that at the weekend.
Beside that on a fresh import of a movie I do get the poster and the fanart. I have checked it with Black Widow (2021).

Goto line 979 or search for: //Directlink of the movie
the add to the end of the next line a "/"
#STRING#=#06#=https://www.imdb.com//#06#/

I hope that this will do the trick of importing a movie with an already given IMDB link.

That seems to have fixed the import of data for almost all of the movies and is keeping the /| intact. My issues with posters relates to "pictures" somehow having been turned off (no idea how).

I have a few stuborn ones that cause issues. It seems that when files titles that imdb's search engine to fail, using a tt1372689 in the when selecting a movie title, is failing, at least on:

Oliver! (1968), and Stranded (2010)

Stranded is an alternate title for Djinn (which works).

I do blame imdb for this, and very much appreciate the work to keep these scripts working. Thank you.

By modifying the script as suggested by Jdommi everything works perfectly.
I allow myself just a small trivial further fix to the script in the language section. If there are several languages, the program places them on the same line separated by a comma and not on different boxes. For the rest, once again it seems that our beloved EXMM will survive. I thank Jdommi for the fundamental help.

I just learned this about IMDB:

adding /reference to an imdb link...

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9140554/reference

Instead of this:

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9140554

Gives you a single page with practically everything on it without all the um.... new styling/space wasting layout/font sizes on their pages now...

Might this be a faster/quicker way to get data about each movie?

@Alferio:
Thanks for the mod! I didn't have recognized that bug.

@davep:
Indeed it would be faster. "In ancient times" that page was used for the IMDB (Fastest) script. But for all available info you still have to load a few details pages if you don't want to miss them.
Anyway for me the biggest problem is to have to fix one more script...
