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

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.
For more info on scripting have a look here:
http://www.binaryworks.it/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=15900 and here: http://www.binaryworks.it/cgi-bin/data/wiki/doku.php?id=programmer_s_guide

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

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.

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!

Hi Sabry!

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

Hi JDommi, I can confirm that now the last script TV Series cannot grab the data I mentioned in my last post.
The episodes list are totally empty.

Could you please check?

Thank you!

Sorry, I just didn't have the time 'til yet. And now the witch has had a shot at me (lower back pain) - I'm happy when I don't have to sit at the moment.
As soon as I can sit for morer than a few minutes I will have a look.
I think it's probably only an ID-name that has to be changed again...

Thank You JDommi,
now I can grab the TV Shows but cast and crew info are totally empty, both in the main cast and crew tab of the shows and also inside the episodes.

I hope you recover soon!

Happy Easter :)

Thank you Sabry
I didn't have checked the rest of the script...
Although I already have an idea: the subside for actors maybe now have a ref addition in the link-address.
I will check it at the next opportunity.

Oh man, that will take a while...
there is not only one change in the structure. The ref_ has to be added, all keywords have changed ("Series directed by" -> "Directors") and now all data is written in one line instead of listed line by line.
For that I have to write the whole procedure for directors, actors, etc. completely from scratch
