Title: Imdb and curl problem
Post by: Ivek23 on 8 31 May, 2026, 08:58:16 AM
Imdb and curl error problem appeared in PVD MOD version. Namely, Imdb has completely blocked data transfer via curl program (curl is completely disabled and blocked by Imdb on its websites).

This means that in PVD MOD versions curl program and PVdBDownPage.exe for downloading information from Pmdb website no longer work. For others, for example, this does not apply to Rotten Tomatoes or AllMovie websites for now. How long it will be like this, we will see.

With Python and Selenium scripts, you can download information from the Imdb website. With Python (+Selenium) Chrome scripts, it often happens that Imdb recognizes Chrome and for each new version of Chrome, a new chronedriver.exe version is also required. There are fewer problems with the Firefox browser and the geckodriver.exe file does not need to be updated when Firefox is updated to a new version.
