MDB Stuck on an entry, anyway to skip it?

Cheers all,

I have a small issue with mdb postprocess. One of the entries causes an unhandled exception error and the process is terminated when it reaches this entry (characters added to the entry show id which causes the error because it is expecting only numbers).

Is there a way to skip an entry so it doesn't cause this error ?

Thanks.

hi Blackbear199,

thanks for your reply mate :)

Here is the situation so you have a better picture:

1-Running on version 23 + old mdb ini files : there is an error when using ask.com.ini when it reaches a show that has no imdb match (the date of production is wrong), it tries ask.com.ini and the word "onmousedown" is grabbed+added to one of the show_id results from ask.com.ini and the program is terminated (unhandled exception)

2-Running on ver 27 + latest mdb ini files: the program is terminated from the FIRST movie (unhandled exception but the word "onmousedown" is not added like in point 1)

Removing ask.com.ini from mdb.config solves the problem with old files. Of course the movie is not recognized but at least the process continues normally.

The movie causing the 1st error is : "The Chamber", (1997) : year is wrong-must be 1996. (maybe you can try and duplicate the error)

The second time it is terminated right from the first movie. So i think something is wrong with imd.com.ask.ini file.

Thank you again for your help.

Cheers.

Hi Blackbear199,

As i told you, using the latest webgrab and the latest mdb ini files cause error and termination from the 1st movie processed.

I use bing and ask. The errors don't happen when I remove ask from the mdb config.

Here are the files you asked for and thanks a lot :

Thanks Blackbear for your time and effort on this.

I don't think the problem is with the mdb.config because when scraping for show_id, one of the show_iss is written like this "xxxxxxonmousedown".

This means that when using ask.com.ini it grabs the show_id AND "onmousedown" attached to it. It is clearly something in the site html5 code that is grabbed by mistake.

Like you said, I coulkd use other sites than UK.sky or stop using ask.com.

Thanks a lot.
