Answer to: IMDb (TV Series) script not working

Congratulations on how you handled the scripts! Indeed, this could be useful to others with similar problems.

In principle, Filmotech should have suggested removing Gamecash, as it was removed by Pascal. (I added Gamecash to my scripts; ‘check scripts’ does indeed suggest removing this script).

But fortunately, you now have all the scripts with the correct versions. (Even if some of them don't really work anymore...)

I'll send an email to Pascal; I hope he'll have time to take a look at the problem you've raised.

@carlbernard An update to my own question - and for anyone else having similar issues - after a minor bit of trial and error I have what I believe to be the latest versions of Internet scripts. When I initially ran the check for 'Internet script updates' I was informed 'All Scripts Up To Date', which they were not, so I think there may be a bug in the check version numbers / fetch updates command somewhere. My work-around was to rename 'Filmotech_scripts' folder and run check for 'Internet script updates' again, for this I was offered the 'download all missing scripts' dialogue which still displayed incorrect version numbers of several scripts. I opted to download all scripts as offered, it downloaded a few then got stuck and hung. I re-tried downloading scripts again but this time opted to download one script at a time to discover the script causing the hang was 'Gamecash' - the error displayed as 'file missing', all other scripts downloaded without issue. I have now noticed we have four newer script versions not offered before, these being CinemaClock Montreal_En v2.1.2, CinemaClock Montreal_Fr v2.1.2, IMDb (Movies) 2.8.0 and IMDb (TV series) 2.5.3 as you indicated - also, my two aforementioned movie titles are now being found with full details as before - Thank you

Pascal might have to have a little look at why the 'check scripts' function is returning the 'All Scripts Up To Date' dialogue box when there were updates available on the server?

Thanks again for the nudge in the right direction @carlbernard

@carlbernard Thanks for the reply and guidance note, I did click the 'update list' in Internet scripts several times before posting my question and have now, on your suggestion, done the same again, but my version would not appear to be offering me an update. What I have done is renamed the 'Filmotech_scripts' folder in order to force a scripts re-download, and again, all it is offering me is version 2.3.7 as per attached photo. Is there a place to download just this single 2.5.3 version file or can you PM me the file and I can place the file manually?

(PS: Actually, Pascal doesn't really have time, so for now I'm writing the IMDB scripts).

@gwampz, Hi, t's not surprising that you're having a problem. The current version of the script is 2.5.3 (12/01/2025). Have you checked: “Check for script updates on launch” in Preferences - General? (You usually have to open Filmotech twice in a row.) With 2.5.3 version, Nurse Jackie and Suits are found.

@carlbernard Having the same issues recently with a couple of boxed set TV series entries, namely Nurse Jackie and Suits, both of which are available on IMBb under + , when script searching to add entries to my DB, both return a zero result. Everything was working perfectly last time I used it to add some TV Series boxed sets, but that was many months ago so no idea when things went down. I have tired searching using the other scripts available but zero results returned as kind of expected.

Do we have any update on a script recode or fix or is this (IMDbTV series) script now potentially dead in the water. I have checked / searched using script with a number of titles that are already in my database and they return a zero result also. Such a shame as this Filmotech program is a great program, not unusable because of this script failure but it now takes a good bit longer to manually collate all the info from sources to create a new entry. I take it Pascal is the coder for the IMDb TV script, has there been any news? My script is version 2.3.7 and I expect this to be the latest version available?
