IMDB search - No movie found

Post by max cherry »

For some time now when I search a movie on IMDB with AMC (version 3.5.1.2), the reply I get is 'No movie found'. When I use not a title but IMDB' link, I still get this 'No movie found'. How can I make AMC to work correcty?

IMDB provides different pages contents depending on which software made the request, and from which country the request was made.
bad4u is working on that problem (I think)

Thank you! For the time being I try to get round this problem by searching not with a full title, but with part of it. Of course, if title consists of one word, it doesn't work.

By the way, I'm from Ukraine.

Well, again and again, "No movie found" with IMDb.

For example this one: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0056919/
Or this: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0047349/

OK, some problems with script or smth. But why AMC refuses to find these movies even by their IMDb links? Come on!

And what's the difference between AMC' messages "No movie found" and "No movie found for this search"?

See this post: viewtopic.php?t=4919

Try to replace ligne 61 in script
if pos('<title>IMDb', PageText) = 0 then
by
if pos('<title>IMDb Title Search', PageText) = 0 then

It is explained in French on that topic so I'll explain in English here:
When the movie number was ending by 9 the script could not get it.
Why? Because it was thinking that the page was a search result instead of a movie page.
Why? Because on these pages the title started by "IMDb" instead of starting by the movie title.
Now the big question is why IMDb puts "IMDb" in front of the title for movies ending by 9, and at the end of the title for others...
