Hi,

While using IMDB lookup in MyTV from either the TV guide or TV context menu there is often the case that no results are returned. What seems to be happening is that any film that has sequels or has been remade or just shares the same name will return no results instead of giving a list of possible matches to choose from.

Steps:

Open MyTV
Open TV Guide
Find a film that you know has sequels or just try a few different films there are many that return no results.


Thanks!

Hi,

I can confirm this problem with 'Clash of the Titans' and 'Crash', both of which are on Film 4 in the UK this week.

Maybe it does not have the option to choose when there is more than one possible hit, so it chooses neither?

However, the logging clearly states that nothing is found.

I will mark this thread as 'bug' and hope that one of the devs has time to look at this.
