IMDB_Movie_[EN][Selenium]-v4 script does not transfer keyword information. I found this error when I did a quick test, the rest of the script works for now, but I will see when I do more tests. The problem is this title below.

Python (+Selenium) Chrome (chromedriver.exe)

Whenever the Chrome browser is updated, you also need the latest chromedriver.exe, so that all Python (+Selenium) Chrome scripts, as well as psf scripts for Imdb and other websites, will work normally.

Here below is a url link to the CODECS.COM website, where you will always find the latest chromedriver.exe files for download and you don't have to search for them elsewhere on the web.

Thanks, I'll test it when I can, I'm currently having some minor problems with the electrical wiring. The cause is in my immediate area in a village where there was a lightning strike this afternoon.

PVD Python Scripts / PVD Selenium v4.3 All Scripts
Last post by afrocuban - 7 31 May, 2026, 07:07:32 PM
As of June 1st, these are the most recent, updated scripts. I have tested them on more than 12.000 titles for several months. Backup your current /Scripts folder and extract this one instead.
Don't forget to download and put appropriate chromedriver.exe into this folder. I couldn't provide it because all of you are using probably different version of Chrome, so you have to do it yourself.

QuoteIf you don't want to use my way of downloading IMDB Movie additional pages as more reliable and much, much faster one, then you can use jondak's version, which is in addition. I haven't tested it, so I don't know if it works. Just overwright my script in /Scripts folder with jondak's

Extract "StartPVD.7z" in PVD folder, and start PVD with doubleclicking portable.vbs when you don't need logs for debugging, or with doubleclicking debug.vbs when you need log.txt for debugging.

Don't forget to install python, then to put it on PATH, to install selenium, shutil and other modules needed for Python scripts to work properly. Please use Copilot or ChatGPT or any other AI on how to do that, so I could focus on developing and maintaining the scripts. If no AI could help you, post your conversation with AI so I could be sure why AI couldn't help you.

Support / Re: Imdb and curl problem
Last post by Ivek23 - 9 31 May, 2026, 09:26:29 AM
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.

Support / Imdb and curl problem
Last post by Ivek23 - 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.
