So where can we manually edit the code in your package that we already have to include this lovely part?

URLConnection conn = u.openConnection();
		if (conn instanceof HttpURLConnection) {
			   ((HttpURLConnection)conn).setInstanceFollowRedirects(followRedirects);
			conn.setRequestProperty("User-Agent", "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.1) Gecko/2008072820 Firefox/3.0.1");

The code, that is checked into the repository contains some of the updates that I've done. Unfortunately, it's not tested, and I'm not confident it fully works. The only real fix is for me to push out a release. I'll try to push something out this weekend. Keep in mind that I am talking about the Batch Metadata Tools and not neil's code. I have no idea the state of his project... it may actually be a quick fix for him (or someone else).

I'm talking about the batch metadata tools too. Neil's code is a nice novelty from time to time, but yours I use on every movie that makes it's way into sage. I was just hoping that part of your package I already had was interpreted each time by the jre rather than compiled and could be tweaked by hand by me to add the useragent to the http request. I'm fine for now using my transparent proxy solution, but it's a bit of a kludge.

As Stuckless suggested it's the User-Agent property that was giving problems. I'm not at home, so someone give this version a whirl.

That works thank you!!!!

[S_M_E]

Worked for me too, thanks...

Unfortunately I'm stuck at work. Thanks for your effort flashbacck - can't wait to give it a whirl when I get home.

Update: works like a charm thanks flashbacck. Well done!

Awesome. I wish I had checked the forum before I starting hacking the code but I am glad I was going down the right path.

Thanks flashbacck!

[sagetvkid]

Thanx flashbacck...much appreciated

This is probably a ridiculous question, but how do I make this work? I tried replacing the old nielm_sageimdb.jar file with the new one in the jar folder on my server, but I still get the same results when I search from within Sagemc. Is there an additional step that I'm missing? I did stop the sage service before replacing the file and then restarted it after.

[megamojo]

It looks like you just need to restart your sage client/front end, not the service. I just had the same issue myself and closing SageTV but not SageTVService solved it. This was true for both my main server and my client in the bedroom.

[abnatc]

I think I'm still missing something. I have SageTV running as a service on an HP Mediasmart server. The front end is a HD-100. I've tried stopping and starting the SageTV service and power cycling the HD-100. I still get the same results. I don't actually have the SageTV application running on the server. I am using the latest beta of SageTV for WHS.

I am also unable to get this to work. I still get the 403 error when trying to search... even after updating to the .jar file from Flashback and restarting Sage.

I'd love to get this to work as I am just starting to build my archived DVD collection on Sage and when combined with the RW Metadata plugin this would help with getting cover art and movie info... beats the hell out of manually downloading off of Amazon

[stuckless]

I would redownload the .jar that flashback posted. Then shutdown sage. Delete the jar from the JARs directory, and then copy over the new jar file.

If you are still getting the 403 error, then maybe the original jar didn't get updated??

[abnatc]

I finally got this working. As I stated earlier, I am new to SageTV and WHS. When I initially put SageTV on my Mediasmart server I had just used the console to put SageTV in the add-ons folder and started the service. I was not aware that a folder for SageTV is created in the programs folder on the System drive. I was just replacing the .jar in the SageMC folder. After finding the folder on the System drive, I replaced the .jar in the Jars folder associated with that one and it started working. I hope this helps.

Unfortunately, another "it's not working" experience: 403 error code returned from server.

Running Sage (6.4.8) and SageMC (6.3.7) in service mode on a WHS server, viewing with either placeshifter clients (6.3.10) or HD100 extenders.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Glad to help troubleshoot if any more knowledgeable users would direct provide direction.

Edit: the file located in c:\program files\sagetv\sagetv\jars was replaced. Verified that the new file is dated 12/4.

Good evening,

I am apparently one of the view that is still having problems with importing data from IMDB. I have downloaded the new jar file and verified size and date stamp. I even have run a "diff" of the previous jar file. I have the new one, but it is still erroring out. I have included 3 screen shots.
1 of the error
1 of the version info
1 of the properties of the jar file

Details:

Server is running on Windows XP SP3

SageTV version 6.5.3.194
Java version 1.6.0_11
SageMC STV Version 6.3.8
SageMC Jar Version 6.3.8
STV File: SageMC_169.xml


java -version

java version "1.6.0_11"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_11-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 11.0-b16, mixed mode, sharing)

Thanks in advance for your help.

If you're still geting the 403 error then it seems that Sage is still using the old jar... Make sure you delete or move the old nielm_sageimdb.jar file out of the sagetv/jars directory. Simply renaming it won't work. Then you have to close and restart Sage.

This was my problem. I had renamed the old version to keep it "just in case". Moving the renamed old version out of the jars folder and then restarting sage did the trick.

Thanks!

Flashbacck,


Thanks for the info....worked great. Guess that is what I get for being too cautious.
