It didn't work for me either originally. <br>The problem was in the imdb.php file. The $imdb and $imdbwebtype variables were not being set for some reason. The hostname was set correctly, but <span class="nx"><br> setting</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">'web_video_imdb_path'</span><span class="p">,</span><span class=""> </span><span class="nx">hostname</span><span class="p">);<br>
and </span><br> <span class=""></span><span class="nx">setting</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">'web_video_imdb_type'</span><span class="p">,</span><span class=""> </span><span class="nx">hostname</span><span class="p">);<br>
<br>both returned nothing. I manually checked those settings in the db and on video settings page and they are entered correctly. Not sure why the script can't read those variables, so I just hard-coded the values that should be there and the script worked fine after that.<br>

There are no error messages in my apache error.log file. Apache has rx<br>
permissions on the full path to imdb.pl.<br>
<br>
I copied the imdb.pl to my mythweb directory as you suggested, and then<br>
everything worked. Next I changed it back to the old path making sure<br>
that I had it typed correctly. Now it works fine with the original path.<br>
Maybe the default that was in before had some sort of typo. Or I read<br>
that someone else had a problem where mythweb located the path<br>
automatically and filled it in, but it isn't actually saved into the<br>
database. You have to click the save button at least once before all of<br>
the settings are written to the database. Maybe that was this issue<br>
here. Either way everything is working now. Thanks for the help.<br>
