Plot missing in Mythvideo IMDB data

[uMuppet]

I'm using 8.04 and haven't had any real problems. The whole setup seems to be running fine. Nice job on the release!

I have a scheduled program running which scans my video folder and updates the IMDB data for any files that are missing it. The program is great, I got it from here (http://www.thepisanis.com/node/11) but none of my movies have any PLOT data. Just a blank space in Mythvideo. It worked fine in Gutsy. I have tried to do a manual scan in setup as well with no joy.
Anyone else hit this problem?

Hi

I fixed mine yesterday.

It seems imdb changed the page layout.

You will have to change this file "imdb.pl", I think it's somewhere in /usr/share/mythtv/

In that file you need to find a line that looks like this:

my $plot = parseBetween($response, ">Plot Outline:</h5> ", "</div>");

and change it to:

my $plot = parseBetween($response, ">Plot:</h5>", "</div>");

Regards

Works well thanks.

I had already made that change but it didn't work. So I copy pasted your example and found that I had an extra space in my code.

How can we have this change in future releases?

thanks, worked like a charm for me too. that extra space was killing me for a second.

Every time that imdb changes their site we have to update.

mine stopped pulling the plots again. did imdb change again?

[tgm4883]

I'll check.

Check to see that the change you made to fix it last time didn't revert back.

[mark467]

Sorry, it did revert. Maybe from the updates.

[tgm4883]

Sounds like it. Check and see if there is a bug filed against it on launchpad
