All configuration data stays at idp/settings.py.example

You need to copy this file as settings.py and edit this file before running the project

cd idp
cp settings.py.example settings.py
your_favourite_editor settings.py

You also need to have dump files at INPUT_DIR and you can download dump files from one of the FTP addresses on http://www.imdb.com/interfaces.

Besides that you can make imdb-data-parser dowload dumps for you by giving -u argument:

~/imdb-data-parser$ ./imdbparser.py -u

~/imdb-data-parser$ ./imdbparser.py

You can use -h parameter to see list of optional arguments

~/imdb-data-parser$ ./imdbparser.py -h

You can use mode parameter to create SQL dumps

~/imdb-data-parser$ ./imdbparser.py -h

Default configuration of MySQL doesn't allow insert data more than 16MB. You need to change your mysql max_allowed_packet size to insert sql dumps.

max_allowed_packet      = 256M

Our movies data includes series, videos, tv shows for now. You can exclude them by this command:

 grep -v '("\\"' movies.list.sql | grep -v '\\(VG\\)' | grep -v "\\(TV\\)" | grep -v "{" | grep -v "????" | grep -v "(V\\\)" > movies.sql

Note: SQL dumps tested with only mysql.
