IMDB PlugIn

[JREkiwi]

I've been having problems with the Plugin Repository, which is why it's not in the plugin system yet

Thank you SO MUCH for updating this! I couldn't update it from the HD300, so I stopped the Sage service, pulled down the .jar file from here:
https://bintray.com/jrekiwi/SageTV/d...imdb_2.0.0.zip
Unpacked the zip file, renamed the old file to .old and put the new file in the jar folder.

Spun Sage back up and IMDB is WORKING AGAIN!

If someone as dumb as I am could figure this out then hopefully others will see this and update their jar file.

As promised I will send you some Paypal money - PM your Paypal address. I spend hours reading the trivia on the big screen.

Is anybody else seeing a blank cast list in the last day or two? For me, the list of cast members is now empty for both movies and TV shows. I tried rebooting SageTV, but that didn't change anything, as far as I could tell.

Seeing the same thing: "Cast" information is now blank. "Cast" data from the IMDB site was working perfectly last week.

yep, seeing it too and came here to post about it.

likely IMDb had to change things to make room for another auto-playing video.

A fix is being tested at the moment.

Any updates? Sorry I know I'm not very patient. You never realize how much you use IMDB in Sage...

I just tried updating on my end, and it worked with no problem. Maybe try it again?

The cast list is now showing up again for movies and TV.

Thanks for the fix!

I get the same thing. So I went and tried to download it on a web browser, no problem. I tried to download *any* plugin. Can't. Get the same resource failed message.

So now I'm wondering if something else is broken. I haven't tried to update plug-ins in quite a while.

I'm on Windows 10, 1803. Build 17134.165

I'm on a slightly older version of SageTV 9.1.7.757. Just haven't got around to updating.

Does anyone know if a recent release of Windows might have broken something or do I need to be on the latest release of SageTV 9 for plug-in downloading to work again?

Edit: Found this post which led to this thread. Looks like we may need to update Java. I'm still on v7.

[peternm22]

That might explain it. I'm running Java 1.8.

I am running under Windows 8.1 6.3 Build 9600. SageTV is V9.1.5.683 and Java is V7. This is all running in a VM in under ESXI.

Like you, I can download plugins via the browser, but not through SageTV.

Looks like Java V7 may be the issue. If memory serves, there was a Jetty issue that was the reason for not updating to V8??? Anyone have more recent info???

With the exception of the IMDB cast issue everything has been working well so I have left it alone.

Will try to update SageTV and Java next week when I have time available.

seems to me there was an issue with SJQv4 (which could involve jetty, yes), which I still rely on for compression duties, so I stayed away from upgrading to v8 too. but on reading the SJQv4 thread, looks like it may have been installation problems, not actual running under 8. If I get a chance I'll try and get to upgrading this weekend.

for reference, here's a couple threads discussing jetty webserver issues on v8:

Downloaded the new jar (nielm_sageimdb_2.0.1) then replaced the old 2.0.0 version in the JARs folder with the new 2.0.1 version. Works perfectly.
Many thanks!!

THANK YOU for the hard work!
