Radarr: Can't add IMDB watchlist

[aporzio1]

Description: When trying to add my IMDB watchlist I get the following error when I hit test.

"Unable to connect to indexer. Indexer responded with html content. Site is likely blocked or unavailable"

I am using http://rss.imdb.com/user/ur50198383/watchlist as my RSS link. I get the same error if I try to use a IMDB list also

Radarr Version: 0.2.0.870

Did you try using the Radarr lists? Also an exact log would be helpful here.

[aporzio1]

The log entry is just the same error and it does work if I do it as a Radarr List

[galli-leo]

Are you sure you are using the Radarr List correctly? This works for me: /imdb/list?listId=ur50198383

[roma0803]

Same issue here. Noticed some movies I added to my 'want to see' list weren't added to Radarr. "Unable to connect to indexer. Indexer responded with html content. Site is likely blocked or unavailable."
Changed the URL to different formats, without resolve. Might this be due to a change at IMDB side?

Log entry:

[galli-leo]

Can you post the logs for the radarr list? I tried the radarr list and it worked.

[roma0803]

How do I create that specific log? Just for the Radarr list?

[RickDB]

RSS domain now redirects to the normal watch list overview, so it's no longer returning the usual rss / xml contents which results in this error.

If this is an intended change by IMDB might need to switch to their .csv export file url which can be found at the bottom of your watch list ("Export this list"), of course that also requires code changes to parsing.

[aporzio1]

The Radarr list works, but the RSS option does not. What @RickDB said makes sense, if you put the RSS url in a browser it takes you to the webpage

[galli-leo]

Just add the Radarr list, search it and the post the log here.

[galli-leo]

Well radarr lists replace the rss list, so parsing the csv won’t be necessary.

[uncleiven]

I've also noticed this issue recently. Tried to add the Radarr list (assuming I choose the preset IMDb list option?) but it still won't connect to my watch list. When I test it states failed.

Any ideas?

[galli-leo]

Can you post your settings as well as logs?

[RickDB]

Removing the IMDB Watchlist and switching to Radarr custom list solved it here.
Thanks @galli-leo 👍

[uncleiven]

@galli-leo - my settings are as follows;

Will attach logs shortly

[CurtisFeatures]

Iv got the same issue. It just sits there testing and will not let me save. I must have tried about 30 times and i got it to add a list once. I then tried to add another and got the same issue. I removed the list that did add eventually and I'm now back to square one. Here are my settings and logs

[bwareca]

I've looked into this issue, and apparently IMDB has officially discontinued RSS feed support. You can read an official statement here.

Hopefully Radarr can incorporate an HTML parser for these lists, but until then, we're all out of luck.

[galli-leo]

@bwareca We don’t need an html crawler. Just use the Radarr lists, they use an unofficial API.

[fafoulon]

I also cannot get it to work, even when using Radarr lists

[galli-leo]

@fafoulon Please post the exact error, else we cannot help you.

[galli-leo]

@CurtisFeatures Your list works fine for me. Please double check your internet connection / ability to ping api.radarr.video.

[lemohol]

Is someone able to share settings that do work? I've followed the multiple ideas on here and cannot get it back working. Thanks all

[galli-leo]

Settings seen above work for me. Maybe you can post your settings as well as some logs of the failure?

This is the log file details when using the Radarr IMDB list

[fafoulon]

Hi, I'm trying with the path to list /imdb/list?listId=ur5726204 I get this error "Unable to connect to list, check the log for more details"

[galli-leo]

@fafoulon and @lemohol See #2338

[CurtisFeatures]

So i retried this morning and i think i have found my issue. My using IP vanish on the system its installed on and when that is active it doesn't work. Looks like i will have to split my setup into multiple VMs unless anyone else has any other ideas?

[uncleiven]

Ok so I can't ping https://api.radarr.video/v2 from my machine, guessing that has something to do with it. Unlike @CurtisFeatures I don't have a VPN running, and I have checked my OpenDNS logs and that domain isn't being blocked

[uncleiven]

Ok, so managed to get mine working by adding a / to the end of the API URL...

[Elfman72]

I tried everything in this thread and still could not get my Watchlist to work using these settings. What seems to have worked is not using the urNUMBER format. What I did to get it to save was to click 'Edit' on my watch list on IMDB. In the URL, you'll see it gives an actual list id of lsNUMBER.

Using this number instead of UR seemed to work.

Now I need to test if Radarr will actually bring in a new item when I add it to my watch list.

• Edit - Confirmed this does work and import.

[SFolkmann]

Done what Elfman72 did, and that actually works, must be because the "hidden" ls ID is more than 8 characters as commented in issue #2338 by galli-leo

[ddysart]

Not to be all "me too" but what Elfman72 suggests is what fixed things for me. Since I'd had automatic sync enabled, using the ur ID resulted in over 50k movies being added to my list (similar to what is mentioned in this Reddit thread.

[galli-leo]

Can you share your ur id?

[ddysart]

The URL to the watchlist is http://www.imdb.com/user/ur46022785/watchlist?ref_=wt_nv_wl_all_0 but when I click edit it is http://www.imdb.com/list/ls074073377/edit?ref_=wl_edt_pwr.

Using the ls074073377 works fine, but ur46022785 resulted in about 50k movies getting added (since I had auto import enabled).

[lemohol]

I got this working using the ls tag - it worked perfectly until a few days ago. Nothing changed on the server; Radarr didnt update, no changes what so ever, but now the lists don't work again. I can only assume it's at the IDMB end. Does anyone still have theirs working?

[galli-leo]

@lemohol Actually, seems like my api is kinda borked atm :(

[rickyagrawal]

Has API been fixed?

[galli-leo]

@rickyagrawal Yeah should be fine now. (Still unstable a few times a month, but that's kinda impossible to fix, without redoing the whole architecture. We are currently being hit by about 2 million requests a day).

[DutchmanSA]

Changing my watchlist to public on IMDB fixed the issue for me. Its on private by default

[jandreaucodes]

I'm just trying Radarr for the first time and am struggling to add my list here, too.
