The new Beta did not improve or solve the problem, IMDB is still broken.

Thank you for testing.

Whenever someone has time, please download this linked version of DVDpedia and run two searches that give you no covers and is missing some data. It will create a file on your desktop called "DVDpedia Debug.txt". Please email me that file, so that I can look at what might be the differences in what is arriving from IMDb. As I have tried being logged in to IMDB, logged out and can't quite get it to give me partial results.

I am afraid I am unable to do this because upon attempting to add the movie I get an error: "Could not Save Changes: The database in memory is not in a valid state and will be reloaded from the hard disk." Clicking on "Reload" apparently refreshes the db but does not permit me to subsequently add a movie.

For the record:
Mac OS 10.14.6
DVDPedia 6.1.0 (190)

I just added this movie to DVDPedia:
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt13995474

Here is the upload to Doghouse:
http://doghouse.bruji.com/dvds/1369351

I am logged into IMDb and seeing the "new version" of the page.

I have only these items checked in IMDb prefs:
Composer
Cinematographer

DVDPedia 6.1.0 (beta 201) is out.

If you are on the beta's it will auto update. For those that wish to try the beta you can download from: https://bruji.com/beta/

I have not had any problems with IMDb, previous or latest DVDpedia versions. Mind you I have yet to see the IMDb yellow highlighted banner, "Welcome to the new version of this page", I may have missed it as I have had to update my 1Password Firefox browser extension for the new version of Firefox 89 and 1Password so had to re-log in to all the appropriate sites but the main page does look slightly different.

Using the version downloaded from Conor's link, I searched for two movies, got incomplete results and e-mailed the resulting debug file to support@bruji.com.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for doing that. Hopefully there will be some demystification. :)

Thank you for all the files. Updated in beta 202. Still a lot of changes going on at IMDb and they are only testing on a subset of browsers and users, will release an official update when it stabilizes.

Works much better but sometimes the date isn't transferred. I've not checked to see if other fields are missing.

How much longer does it take for the app to work again?

Thanks
