Hi, Since a few days or perhaps one or two weeks, I can no longer get Genres or Rating information through this module. Using perl5 (revision 5 version 12 subversion 3), IMDB module 0.49 on Debian-testing. I have a little perl program that uses a list of film ids to generate the films' title, genres and rating (top 250 / rating / votes). It returns the title like it should (so the module is working a bit), but I get empty variables for genres and rating. I haven't changed the program since it last worked, although I might have auto-updated perl since then. This still works fine: $filmnu = new IMDB::Film(crit => $filmtitel) || warn; print "Reported title: ".$filmnu->title()."\n" || warn; ($filmtitel is the imdb-id of a film in the form of $filmtitel = tt0071562;). This next code, a few lines further, doesn't return anything anymore: @GENRES = @{ $filmnu->genres()}; @TOPP = $filmnu->rating(); Both @GENRES and @TOPP remain empty. My programming skills are still very limited, but since it worked before, and I haven't changed anything, I guess the IMDB have changed their pages so the scraper can no longer understand them? Thanks!
