In the CVS, fixes for 'tv mini series', which are now correctly (?) identified when possible. I still have to check if some persons' pages are filled with the right data, but I've faith. ;-) As usual, a lot of glitches aroused: - now in the HTML "(TV mini-series)" and "TV mini-series" are used respectively in search results and title's main page. Previously (monthes/years ago) "(mini)" was used, and it's still used by IMDbPY building the 'long imdb canonical name' of a tv mini-series. I'm not sure if I want to change this behavior. - in the plain text data files (i.e.: udinh local and sql data access systems) any indications of 'mini-series' is gone, and everything is considered a 'tv series'. There's not much we can do about it: the information is just missing. :-/ [major problem] It's very difficult (using http/mobile) to search for tv series' episodes. Try these searches: "Band of Brothers" Currahee (2001) Currahee Both return the wrong data, and that's because you must call the /find CGI with some specific arguments, if you want to search for an episode. I.e.: http://akas.imdb.com/find?q=Band+of+Brothers;s=tt;ttype=ep At least for the first example, this is not the case for sql/local (the right title is returned), while the right match for the second one is not amongst the first 20 items. What can be done? We can introduce a "search_episode" method, which calls the /find CGI with the correct arguments. We can also call it automatically, when we identify that the user is searching for an episode title using the search_movie method (e.g.: searching for '"Band of Brothers" Currahee', the utils.analyze_title function guesses the title as an episode).
