Title: Probleming searching Imdb
Post by: Mango on March 20, 2012, 04:25:35 am
Hi,

I just installed this and tried to make a new movie master, but it doesn't find anything at imdb even though its there.

Then I looked at the URL the program uses:

http://www.imdb.com/find?s=tt@q=TITLE%3bsite=aka

Where Imdb uses:

http://www.imdb.com/find?q=TITLE&s=tt

How can i fix this?

Select Help > Check for updates to ensure your using the current plugin.

Can we PLEASE lose those captchas, they are close to impossible to read - it took me 20 minutes to register!

No. Without them, we'd be overrun by spammers. Please remove your signature.

Doesn't work. In fact nothing works. The URL for poster to amazon is correct but still it says it founds nothing, and it makes a URL to filmafinity even though I used to IMDB uk.

Now they keep not only spammers away but also normal users.

Please, try the latest imdb plugin. It fixes some problems with search.

Yep seems to work now, it imports movie data.
Though nothing shows up under people, but perhaps that needs to be fetched separately?

What do you  mean? How did you setup the overwrite options for the plugin?

In people mode there is nothing. I setup nothing.

There's a separate plugin for updating People records.
