New Feature in v1.1
- Automatic self-updating
To use this new feature all you need is to download wget from here simply unpack the wget folder and place it into your plugins folder with the rest of your scripts. This script and all future scripts from me will then use wget to automatically update themselves. If you don't want to use this feature you can simply choose not to install wget and the script will still notify you of new versions how it always has in the past.
- You may host this script as is.
- You may alter the script however you want, but if you propagate your modified version I'd like you to share it publicly
- If you don't that's cool too. - I reserve the right to deny you access to the IMDB API that the script uses if you abuse the API (Hacking, Overloading it etc)
- You must place the file in your Metis Plugins folder & edit your mxc.xml to add the line <include file="IMDB.by.Pri.xml"/>
- Simply replace the old file with the new one from the top of this post, then restart your bot. Alternatively if you don't want to restart your bot you can enter /mxc load in your bots main chat window, this will make it reload all your plugins without restarting.

- Question: Sometimes when I type in a Movie name it only gives me some data, like the plot but not the actors
- Answer: This can be caused by IMDB.com not having the specified data, a layout change to their website that the Script does not yet support or a temporary downloading issue which meant your Metis was unable to aquire the entire IMDB page for your movie. If it keeps happening please don't hesitate to contact Pri and he will look in to it
- As above it requires version 2.8 of Metis. If you do not use 2.8 (Or a better version than 2.8) Then this script will not work at all.
- I am happy to offer you 1 to 1 support in your room with this script if you need it, you can find me in the Renegades room on MX
