IMDB data retrieval

Post by PGW »

Sigh.

The stated purpose for the DVDpedia update was to take the new imdb design into account when retrieving data. It sure doesn't look like it's working properly.

I entered a new title by searching under imdb under the title (Kong bu fen zi), and it came up with the following choices for me:

Nine 1/2 Weeks (1986)
This FAQ is empty. Add the...
IMDb message board for Ko....
Full cast and crew
Company credits
External reviews

By clicking on the "message board" choice it DID bring up the data I was looking for, but obviously something's not right here.

Thank you for the specifics, it only affects those using the old style website. It's fixed in the latest DVDpedia beta 44.

I notice on a few "found" entries, that the Writer field is not returned/included with the new DVDPedia entry, even though it seems to be present in the IMDB entry. Examples are: "Blissfully Yours" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0317171); "Shadows in Paradise" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092149); "Syndromes and a Century" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0477731). I haven't tried the beta mentioned above...
