Fixed IMDB Scraper Library

I've updated the main build to include the new library, but for those that already have version 3.154 - just overwrite the imdb.dll file in your mc folder with this file

Download imdb.dll
This build should be ok, I tested it with about 20 movies and it worked fine, but there is always the possibility of a discrepancy in a few movies, if anyone has any issues then let me know, be sure to include the imdb url to the problem movie

I've noticed that downloading fanart and posters from TMDB is iffy at the moment, TMDB is changing over to API 2.1 and are having a few problems at the moment which I am sure they are working hard to fix, these issues only appear to be affecting the old 2.0 API so I will update the code to 2.1 for the next build.

Excellent work!

Thx!

Thanks for this, noticed and issue and it was already fixed.

Best developement of any freeware app I've seen!

billyad, As said above thanks for the dedication in producing an invaluable bit of software. It has saved me many hours in compiling my movie database.

sadly the IMDB.dll mods seem to have thrown up an error not seen in previous releases:

"Method not found"

a dump of the unhandled exception below my text

I am using MC ver 3.1.4.8 with the new IMDB.dll from your first post in Win7 x64 environment.

The error occurs when I try to (re)scrape a movie that has not been recognised by MC following clicking on the "GO" button in the 'change movie tab' after locating the correct movie on IMDB in that tab. - Hope that's clear?


Thanks once again, and good luck in debugging!

The updated .dll works for me. Perhaps you should try the latest version 3.154. That is what is mentioned in the initial post.

Yep Good point! Thought I had the latest and clearly was not alert at 5 in the morning doh!

Updated version and dll all seems fine. Thanks for the heads up MarkC....
