I have an error while launching the script, 'A call to an OS function failed', what could be the cause?
I use AMC 4.2.3
Thank you in advance
Go in Help -> Version and check if you get these version numbers (4.2.3.3)

These are mine version numbers:
MovieCatalog.exe : versione 4.2.3.3 (creata il 19/05/2023 11:56:18)
AMCExchange.dll : versione 1.9.0.2 (creata il 19/05/2023 11:56:08)
AMCReport.exe : versione 1.9.0.1 (creata il 04/11/2017 06:44:36)
MediaInfo.dll : versione 22.12 (creata il 22/12/2022 17:00:48)

do you have this error only with iMDB script or also with other script?

Open AMC. Create a new catalog. Try another script (not iMDB), then save. Tell us if you get errors

Do you have enough space on your hdd?

Thank you MrObama2022, Antoine and all for your efforts all this time.

I've tried all scripts version 4 and 5 but the problem persist: just return empty page. I try other scripts i.e. Allocine it works just fine.
Am I missing something?

My AMC version is this:
MovieCatalog.exe : version 4.2.3.3 (19/05/2023 11:56:20)
AMCExchange.dll : version 1.9.0.2 (19/05/2023 11:56:10)
AMCReport.exe : version 1.9.0.1 (04/11/2017 05:44:38)
MediaInfo.dll : version 22.12 (22/12/2022 16:00:50)

Thanks

Many thanks for the new version, MrObama2022! I updated about a dozen very different movies and everything was retrieved as in the "old days" (read: perfectly) except for one type of actors credits.

movie URL: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0071949/reference/

Actors credits are retrieved as

Hélène Loiselle ... Marie Boudreau","Self
Jean Lapointe ... Clermont Boudreau","Self
Guy Provost ... Jean-Marie Beauchemin","Self
Claude Gauthier ... Richard Lavoie","Self
Louise Forestier ... Claudette Dusseault","Self


instead of as

Hélène Loiselle ... Marie Boudreau / Self
Jean Lapointe ... Clermont Boudreau / Self
Guy Provost ... Jean-Marie Beauchemin / Self
Claude Gauthier ... Richard Lavoie / Self
Louise Forestier ... Claudette Dusseault / Self


It looks like your fix for the "segment" atribute in actors' credits in https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0113101/reference/ is also applied to credits such as these.

Other movies with such actors credits:
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0151857/reference/
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt32149801/reference/
and especially https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3872778/reference (along with every other Monty Python thing)
