Problem in IMDB's search is NOT related to this script

[Artbabe]

Please report problem in imdb's NEW Search Tool , to IMDb NOT here Bla0r fixed the problems in fabian's script ,which started after recent change in imdb

if IMDB can NOT detect even simple titles , it's IMDB's problem and you can see the problem by doing a search in imdb

we started conversation in imdb regarding their search issue

the script is fine and its doing what it should do

go to imdb ,search Stuff 2015 Walking 2013 [tons of similar titles] and see what they have done to their search !!

thank to BL for solving imdb grabber's problems

[bla0r]

The grabber fetches the right title for the given titles.

Closed.

IMDB community answered the ticket he said we added a feature in search option which I see it may causes problem for you guys [he meant me and other site owners who use platforms which dont allow character ] he said

send your querry in this shape:

Title (4DigitYear)

and dont send

Title 4DigitYear

he means add ( ) around the 4 digit year check Swing 1999 Now send Swing (1999)

now send The Grounded 2013 to your script then send The Grounded (2013)

to your script

please test their site's search and you see the difference

Now I have a question do you think it can solve our problem ? if you think it will work then I will ask someone to help me to add this feature in script

[bla0r]

I checked it at imdb and there is a difference between with and without brackets.

But it's not a problem of the script. Send the year with brackets and you're fine. And the most accurate way is to send the id.

[Artbabe]

I know it's not your concern but you know this script so well may I ask , what is Your way of doing this? how I can send the 4 digit year , inside bracket?

so far your solutions worked so well about characters about & vs and/And/AND and many more

this will give working option for site owners regarding getURL which is the biggest concern of our kinda users

is there any trick/option we can change/add in script to send year of release to imdb in bracket? I tested 10 of failed items and it solved 9 of them or for example it sends in braket if sensitivity number is not enough to pick the final result

we all know , there is nothing more can be done for the script this project is indeed closed the rest is on imdb NOT YOU users can easily test the search problems , by running search inside imdb site

[bla0r]

Ask your coder what to do. It's really easy.

[Artbabe]

I am sorry if I expected too much

[Vitoriel]

stupid imdb ruined our sites = error after error in sites use script for fetch imdb id including your site @Artbabe hehehe ;; you use this script?

[bla0r]

I fixed the issue with the year. Will commit it later.

[bla0r]

Running: fetchUrl("Swing (1999)") Running cURL: ?title=Swing&title_type=feature&release_date=1999-01-01,1999-12-31 New redirect saved: c4517a81bb0c34d73b0600475776c50b70e43bcf.redir => tt0140590/reference Running cURL: tt0140590/reference Cache created: 222194320806fd47b84fedf24cf33202b3327971.cache

Running: fetchUrl("Swing (1999)") Running cURL: find?q=Swing%2B%281999%29&s=tt&ttype=ft YEAR: Swing => 1999 Accurate: Swing => Swing (100%)

Both versions find the right Movie. This is now the best working function. I added the following option:

     * Set this to true if you want to start with normal search and
     * if you get no result, it will use the advanced method
     * and to false for vice versa
     */
    const IMDB_SEARCH_ORIGINAL = true;```

RIDICULOUSLY INSANELY UNBELIEVABLY ACCURATE SCRIPT

WHAT THE HELL YOU HAVE DONE WITH YOUR LAST CHANGE? GO TO SITE AND SEE YOUR STORM

seriously go and see what you have done @bla0r

[Artbabe]

I dont understand I am serious , how you did it imdb's search is bloody mess this is not an ordinary code

man you are not an ordinary coder I just hope people see this You deserve respect

[Artbabe]

This is my last comment in imdb grabber

This is final report: after Bla0r's yesterday's Pure-magic this script has become accurate to the point that I can easily claim: if Groups posts Correct Title then script gets getURL [and as a result poster , plot...]

and when I see failed item in site then I delete the release and I post the release with correct title

unbelievably precise ridiculously accurate

this guy is GOD
