With all movies? Or just with some?

That's strange.
For me these title work.
Maybe IMDb is doing changes again, but deploy them gradually and not for every visitor. Maybe it will work again in the next days? Or will break everywhere and then I'll be able to fix it if I have the issue too.
In the meantime you can try with the other ...

Hi, do you have the latest version of the script? (5.5.08)
If yes, do you have an example of a movie with this issue?

If it is in the same folder as the FilmAffinity script it shoud work.
Otherwise you can try getting the latest install of AMC which includes that file too.

There may also be a way to run Ant Movie Catalog with a different character set. Years ago there was the AppLocale tool from Microsoft but it has maybe be replaced by other solutions.
Note than then you would not be able to input Cyrillic characters in it, if needed.

You need to add the file ExternalCurlHandler.pas to the scripts folder.
Either by running "Update scripts" or manually via https://update.antp.be/amc/scripts/

Hi!

Example: Faites sauter la banque! (1964)

For me it works, but seeing that you use yandex.ru maybe your Windows is using Russian character set by default?
Ant Movie Catalog is not unicode, so it can only display the default non-unicode character ...

Hi,
Do you have an example of movie? I tested one and it kept the accent on the name

Il faut désactiver les options et champs inutiles dans l'autre script, ça l'accélérera probablement.
Pour les noms des acteurs dans la recherche, ça n'apparaît pas (plus ?) sur la page de recherche donc a priori plus moyen de l'avoir.

Bonjour,
J'ai corrigé le script IMDb principal qui avait le même problème, mais est-ce que celui-ci a encore un intérêt ?
J'ai l'impression que le script principal a été modifié précédemment pour intégrer les images comme le faisait celui-ci (option ActorsImagesMode à mettre à 1).

I fixed the IMDb script again (version 5.5.08), as the search was showing blank results.
I also fixed actors' roles.
I added a check to avoid importing actor images when ActorsImagesMode = 0, as these were always imported no matter what option was set there (so if you want these but they are not ...

Thanks!
Often it is indeed just small changes like this, I didn't had time in the last days to check what was the issue.
The rest of the code is probably useless, from older versions of the site. Some day some cleaning should be done, but just in case old pages are sometimes returned in some cases ...

I'll try to take a look at it next week (I don't have time right now), if nobody else does it before.

Hi,
If it is the main IMDb script, it has to be updated.
Cf viewtopic.php?p=93422#p93422
In the meantime the script "IMDb (via API)" should work.

¡¡Por fin vuelve a funcionar el foro!!


Note that when it was not available, you could login using the username "guest" and the password "antp.be"
As said above, it was blocked due to a bot attacking it, in case I have to do that again you could find the username/password on the contact page of ...

I'm sharing the code for you experts to be able to have at least a foundation to work on,


It depends on the cases, but sometimes the problem with AI code is that it is horrible to work on it, especially for cases like this when it is not easy to clearly indicate the expected result. But maybe ...

Hi,
Indeed this kind of characters cause issue: AMC is an old software, so it does not handle unicode.
Only basic characters are supported, i.e. ASCII :
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII
And also the local character set, depending in your Windows settings.
For Western Europe it is this one: https ...

I think the best is just migrate to the api method because imdb is changing things every week to make us crazy (I think they are doing this to avoid data scrapping)
I don't think they change on purpose for that. It seems they are modernizing their system (hence using more json than just generate ...

I suppose they continued to make changes to their pages.
I'll try to take a look, in the meantime the IMDb API script can help to get data, even if it does not give as much info.
