    As I mentioned in a previous thread, I have noticed a minor scanning / importing issue with only a small portion of movies when importing a full list into Moving Pictures via the config GUI.

    Basically it is giving a blank result and as soon as you press refresh it gets the movie details. It is showing a totally blank/white drop down box.

    Here is the screen shots which might show it better...

    This is a new issue arising with the IMDb servers. Occasionally they have been returning a 503 error, which means results are not returned in the importer. We have taken measures to reduce the affect of this on the end user, but sometimes something like this slips through. I am not sure that we can do much else to fix this issue...

    We already have a delay added when the error occurs which is progressive. If it fails once we wait 5 seconds. If it fails again we wait 7 seconds, again and 9 seconds, and so on up until (by default) 15 seconds. I think it's a pretty good progressive loading system, and we have gotten pretty good performance out of IMDb's stubborn servers. We will of course try to continue to improve things, but everything takes time and there are more pressing issues right now.
