Thats one of the things that seem to be missing in IMDb data...and that is contact numbers. ;-) Well at least I come from here country of origin. Ok, on the serious note. > No: the imdbID fields in the database are populate once the db is > used (on-line, so that the "real" imdbID can be retrieved and > associated to a movie/person/whateverID internally used by the db). > So it's normal, if there's no data, yet. Firstly, I managed to do a proper import of all latest plain text data into sql. What I noticed immediately is that the imdbID I saw previously using 'web' accessSystem is not the same id's I see now that I have a local sql db. So I am not 100% sure what you mean by "...(on-line, so that the "real" imdbID can be retrieved and associated to a movie/person/whateverID internally used by the db...". I have some data (not much) that stored, with my previous 'web/mobile' accessSystem, and I used imdbID as a ref id, as a ref to a movie. Once I switched to accessSystem: sql, the IDs dont match anymore. (ID of what movie it used to refer to now references a different movie.) Secondly, I notice that some movie (titles) that have the "plot"/"plot outline" detail in web/mobile accessSystem do not appear to have any sql db. Could this be that it was updated recently and not available in plain text version? (I actually tried a few) Thirdly, I have logic for getting the "cover url" and "headshot". It works fine in web/mobile accessSystem but nothing is returned when using local sql accessSystem. Am I missing something in this one. Hope this is not to much to ask. I am trying to get my head around the switch from web/mobile to sql accessSystem. And I see quite a few differences. So I am trying to see how I can fix those or at least provide alternative solutions for a production environment in mind. > > http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=464CD583.2090609%40buro302.nl&forum_name=imdbpy-devel I read this few days ago. Would be a great idea. Has there been enough interest shown in requesting this feature?
