imdb download failed

[slasher71]

Nol i mean as in crossepg or xmltv open tv n sky uk

Sorry I wasn't sure of the name of the epgs but it exactly the same epgs as the ones that pheonix has shown

Punisher + pheonix do you have an et9000 to test this ?

[punisher]

i got duo n solo pheonix got uno but im sure we can ask others to try it out too

[slasher71]

Just come across this post

http://www.world-of-satellite.com/ar...hp/t-2891.html

[punisher]

yeh that was back in end of 2010 but even then the imdb plugin was still working as it is for others, not sure why its giving you failed results

[slasher71]

Also results are not coming back for well known films

Tested it a few times on different well known films but doesn't find any results, which does find the films, if I test directly through the imdb website

eg "get him to the greek" & "Crimson Tide"

Seems to be very hit & miss

[slasher71]

example of a query direct on the site


Tried in both epgs no results

looked at the imdbquery.html in the tmp folders & it shows



It would suggest that it doesn't like URL encoding or the page isn't being parsed

[slasher71]

further update

Just looked at the imdbquery2.html before I did a search for salt which comes back as download failed

sreenshot of salt in imdbquery2.html


So it looks like a parsing issue not sure

[punisher]

im not sure as ive just done what u have and the imdbquery.html and imdbquery2.html both correspond to the searchs i have made and the urls parse correctly too. you say you are using crossepg are you using OpenTV and the sky uk provider or are u using something else?

Not sure if it related?

[punisher]

i couldnt tell ya mate i just tested on the solo and checked a loada programs on a load of different channels and got all the results without any problems. ill see if andy can figure something out but if its working for most of us im not sure what he will be able to say or do

[slasher71]

Ok Thanks punisher

[judge]

this is jus goin for a shot in the dark as i have no idea what could be causing the issue lol but what epg provider do you guys use outa curiosity?

I'm using CrossEPG / OpenTV / Sky Uk Open TV (Astra on 28.2) & never get IMDB details.
Will try another provider & see if it works.

imdb doesn't work for me either on latest vix , I just get "no IMDB match " on everything I try , same results using cross epg and xmltv importer

[judge]

tried switching to CrossEPG / XMLTV / Rytec UK XMLTV & same results, no IMDB match on all searches.
