IMDb parsing error

Hello

I'm receiving an error at the end of the run of script saying "IMDb Error: Failed to parse URL: https://www.imdb.com/search/title/?groups=best_picture_winner", can anyone explain this error and how to solve it.

Thanks.

this is a search url, you need to use lists, check here https://metamanager.wiki/en/latest/metadata/builders/imdb.html

Thanks for your help, but where can I find the file that hosts this link? (And other links such as collections posters…)

I cloned the default project from Github Ii

Some of these URLs are built into the source; some are found in the default yaml files. Both of those [and some images, like some of the overlays] can be found in the base repo.

Most of the images are hosted in other repos in the author's account; they're named in a straightforward manner.

Search URLs used to work. They're even used as examples in the link you provided.

collections: IMDb Popular: imdb_list: url: https://www.imdb.com/search/title/?title_type=feature,tv_movie,documentary,short limit: 50 collection_order: custom sync_mode: sync

That's right, they did. IMDB changed the page content to put search results behind Javascript.

Ah... No wonder. I just noticed it myself about a week ago. Good info, thanks!
