Problem with IMDB provider

[Dolu]

Hello,

Found error when looking for "28 semaines plus tard" (28 weeks later) with IMDB Provider (startindex can't be less than 0. Parameter name : startIndex).
When using "akas.imdb.com", it takes me directly to the movie.

The IMDB provider was the first provider I wrote, all the other ones after IMDB I used regex to parse the page.
I will re-do the IMDB parser to use Regex instead.

The IMDB provider have been re-written to use regex instead and is now working again. Available in version 0.9.4

Hi joma,

I am currently working on several movie providers focusing on french.imdb.com to be able to get the IMDB rating when searching for international movies with titles translated in French. It appears that there is a bug in your imdb provider regarding the directors list. The regex returns nothing when the movie has mutiple directors.

For example, The Matrix. The regex you are using is:

Code: Select all

<h5>Director:</h5>.*\\n<a href=\"/name/nm\\d{7}/\">(.*?)</a>

is not correct because when a film has multiple directors the text is *Directors".

FYI using the following regexs works for us and french imdb for movies with single or multiple directors:

Code: Select all

<div\sid="director-info"\sclass="info">\s*<h5>.*:</h5>\s*(?<1>.*?)\s*</div>

to get the directors string then

Code: Select all

<a\shref="/name/nm\d{7}/">(?<1>.*?)</a>

to get each director from the previous string.

Regards.

Hello fdt,

Maybe you could take a look at those ones :
MyMovieProvider
with
[intl] akas.imdb.com (v1.0) / 2009-02-24

I'm not using your regexp but it seems to work.

Thanx! I've implemented your regex into the IMDB provider and it works like a sharm.
The new IMDB provider will be available in the release of 0.9.8.0.
