[QUOTE="fforde, post: 941966, member: 52082"] Thanks for the report Kiwijunglist. I have an alpha build linked below with an updated IMDb script included, would you mind testing this? If you are curious about the details the problem is actually three-fold. [LIST=1] [*]Rochess is right, when multiple films share the same name (like with Anonymous) the script was not able to parse search results with the roman numerals tacked on. The fix will allow movies like Anonymous (2011) to correctly auto-import now. - [*]IMDb's search algorithm seems to have changed (or maybe this was an outstanding issue on our end). In the previous version of our script we were searching by "Once (2006)". But it seems that IMDb thinks we are saying "(2006)" is just [I]a part of the title[/I] and in this case the correct movie [URL='http://akas.imdb.com/find?q=once+%282006%29']doesn't even show up in the search results[/URL]. I am not sure why we had the search string set this way because Moving Pictures should be able to handle years when that information is relevant so I have removed year from the title search string that is sent to IMDb. This corrects things for Once (and I am sure some other movies as well). - [*]The new IMDb search page gives less AKA (alternate title) information than it used to. This means that movies with very long title like Fog of War (officially known as "The Fog of War: Eleven Lessons from the Life of Robert S. McNamara" are going to have a harder time importing. The script solution to this is to ping each and every AKA page for all possible matches listed in the search result but this is a lot of requests to occur before we even get past the search stage. I will think on this though; maybe we can figure something out, but for now Fog of War is just a movie that will need to be manually approved if you don't have the IMDb ID or the full title. Sorry about this one. [/LIST] Please let me know how the new build works for you though. [url]http://moving-pictures.tv/files/moving-pictures-1.4.2.1429-alpha.exe[/url] [/QUOTE]
