IMDb broken

timtak · November 7, 2018

The translator for IMDb shows a nice movie icon in Firefox but alas it does not suck the date, director or distributor. I just tried updating.

Thank you for Zotero

Is this the place to mention it?

Yes, seeing that. Ticket created https://github.com/zotero/translators/issues/1780

Is there any update on this? I work with lots of film students, and it would be great if it could get working again.

I am also hoping for a fix to this problem:)

Hi! Is this something you will fix? Otherwise the icon on the imdb page should be set to the normal webpageicon.

This is now fixed — thanks to placardo! Your Zotero Connector should auto-update within 24 hours, or you can update manually by clicking Update Translators in the Advanced pane of the Zotero Connector preferences.

Thank you for reporting! Please note that you might experience some slightly changes, but they all should be improvements. If not or any further problem let us know.

Thank you! Runs like clockwork now:)

IMDB released a new updated layout (2021-05-28) but it seems to have broken the Zotero IMDB translator or at least it shows me the film symbol indicating there is a translator but when trying to download to Zotero it reports an "error" and tries to use "metadata instead".

Seems to be working now (2021-06-05), if the translator was adapted then many thanks to who did it.

Yeah, Zotero's new translator developer @AbeJellinek started 3 weeks ago & has been fixing things left & right, including this.

I appreciate the kind words! Yeah, I fixed this one up. The changes were thankfully mostly cosmetic, but they were just big enough to break the translator. Let me know if you encounter any further issues.
