Thanks for the quick re-write. These may be the problems you know about, but I'll list here what I find anyway:
1. If there is no poster, the script throws up an error dialog with no error message in it. According to the movie I tested, they use the relative "<img src="/img/noimage200.png"..., rather than a complete url: Watchmen
[Edit:] Looking at this again, I wonder if 2, 3 and 4 are all the same issue—Genre and Director are not saved or saved in the wrong field if AKA data exists. If I turn AKA off in Overwrite fields, BTW, it still doesn't get Genre or Director if AKA exists. This seems consistent: Underground, Tin Drum
2. Sometimes Genre is saved in AKA: Body of Lies I don't see any difference in the source between those that work and those that don't.
3. AKA and Themes (Categories) are not saved.
4. Sometimes Director is saved, sometimes not: Body of Lies, Watchmen I don't see any difference in the source between those that work and those that don't.
5. Year, Actors, Country, Studio, MPAA, Tags, Description, Review and Duration seem to work correctly.
6. Got this error on Box office: Blade Runner
conversion error from string "27,580,111/ 1992 Rerelease: $3,740,330"
Overflow occurred during data type conversion.
Error Code: 14

Could you post titles of the movies that produce each type of error?

I've edited my original post.

The search results I've seen are so consistently useless, it seems to go beyond prefixes. But allmovies searches (including those done directly on the website) have always been strange—so maybe this is one thing that hasn't changed. ::)

--- Quote from: rick.ca on July 19, 2008, 07:48:47 pm ---I've noticed the rating returned by these scripts is often one less than it should be. It seems the problem is the rating is obtained from the "alternative name" of the star image, but (for reasons I can't fathom) this is incorrect. You could get the correct rating directly from the star image file name. That's st_rN.gif, where N = 1 to 9, representing 1 to 5 stars in 1/2 star increments. In other words, the rating = N + 1.

Just for the record, I see this has been fixed. I probably noticed before, but never got around to updating my existing ratings. It seems, too, allmovies has fixed the data that caused the problem in the first place.

OK, everything should be fixed now, except search results.
