"Automatically retrieve movie data in the English language" not working (1 Viewer)

[RoChess]

Somebody already made a post on the forum offering a patch to add the accept-language method to the <retrieve> node, so looks like a solution is not far away. At the same time I'm not giving up looking at my own workarounds, as it might reveal some underlying issues with IMDb+ that need to be fixed as well.

I'm happy to report that I found a workaround to the issue with IMDb+ v4.7.1

Still needs mass testing, but it appears to work well so far on small sample set (crossing fingers it did not break something else, but will just have to fix that then).

Ok. I will do a test.
Thanks

That is IMDb+ plugin (really need to release a new version, but want to add a lot of IMDb+ plugin features that I need more time for)

The IMDb+ plugin will auto-update the IMDb+ scraper-script. It is the latter that I keep updating when IMDb website changes. Simply launch MediaPortal with the IMDb+ plugin installed and you will get a popup saying it updated. You can also open IMDb+ plugin settings inside MediaPortal GUI (there is no config method) and via the hidden menu (left arrow in most skins), you can go to like "IMDb+ Info" to see more details on what versions you got installed.

If you got the Extensions plugin installed, there is also a "Settings" option inside IMDb+ plugin hidden menu, where you can adjust things such as how often to check for updates (default = 1x each day and not on startup).

You need to install the Extensions plugin (GUI part of MPEI).

Easiest way is:

1. Double click the "MediaPortal Extension Installer" shortcut on your desktop
2. Switch to the "Options" tab and then click on the "Download online update info" to get the updated list
3. Select the "Known extensions" tab
4. Scroll down and click on the "Extensions" entry and follow through with installation

And this will then enable the "Extensions" plugin into MediaPortal, which will show the 'Settings' options inside IMDb+ plugin hidden menu.

If you still have issues let me know and I'll make screenshots.

Be sure to update to v4.7.4, seems there was another bug for non-USA users IP and IMDb decided to give you guys a totally new website layout, so I had to compensate.
