Suddenly I get the message HTTP 1.1404 NOT FOUND

When I enter a title search for IMDB info retrieval in Ant Movie Catalog.

Anyone else suddenly have this happen?

Yes, started maybe 10 days ago. The first couple of times I was just able to go to IMDB on the film and copy-paste the URL into Ant on Add. Now I don't get the URL input box on Add. I tried updating the scripts to see if that would help, but I failed, user error I guess.

Do you all have the latest version of the script? (3.75)
Someone else reported a similar problem: viewtopic.php?p=35416#35416
but I could not reproduce it yet.
It may depend on the selected options though...
I'd need to have the list of selected options and some example movies.

This morning, poking around the program and the web, somehow I downloaded "IMDB.ifs" but I think I got it with Firefox, saved on disc. I don't know what version. But now Win7 doesn't know what to do with it and Ant/Open is only for databases. How do I install it?

Which version do you have currently? (it is written at the bottom of the script window, when a script is selected).
Easiest is to run "update scripts" script (at the top of the list) for automatic update of the script.
If you install it manually, you should put it in the scripts folder. Go where AMC is installed, you should find a link "templates, scripts, etc." that opens a folder where you can find the scripts, overwrite the existing imdb.ifs file.

Going into the Scripting/Scripts window and highlighting IMDB the window says it's version 3.75.

I don't see an Update button there. But in ADD a film I get an alert that says Auto-Detect is On and any updates will be listed. Then I get a long list of updated scripts but IMDB isn't one of them.

I had figured out about C:\ProgramData\Ant Movie Catalog\Scripts to put the IMDB.ifs file into manually, but it's the ~exact~ same bytes as the one in there already.
