IMDB script doesn't work

[LeMoi]

I have enough space, but indeed, I can't also launch other script since I updated to latest IMDb script, I don't know why...
I tried creating a new catalog, then launch another script, now I have another error "Cannot make a visible window modal", even with IMDb script

Uninstall AMC, delete this folder if still exists [ C:\ProgramData\Ant Movie Catalog ] and install again AMC. Double check no antivirus is blocking AMC (try disabling it and open AMC). This should not be needed, but you can also try to set a compatibility mode for "C:\Program Files (x86)\Ant Movie Catalog\MovieCatalog.exe"

I just reinstalled AMC over the same old version, then downloaded the updated script, and this time it worked.. I don't know happened last times but the problem looks to be solved, thanks for your help!

I wrote alternative script for IMDB, it's using original IMDb's API -> viewtopic.php?t=43842

new version: 5.0 release candidate 6

CHANGELOG
* fixed errors with TitleTranslated = 2
* fixed TagLines
* NOTE: please insert again YOUR rapidApiKey in RapidAPIKey parameter

I have been using the script for over four days now and there are no problems whatsoever.

Thank you very much, MrObama, for getting our catalogues firing all engines again.

Thank you very much

Thank you to MrObama2022 for all the work (and to Munkey for the alternative script)
I'll soon update AMC's install package to include both of these, now that it seems stable

I would let few days more for them to be tested.

I don't want to wait too much before updating the main IMDb script, I'll probably do that on Sunday.

Is there any way to force the download of english posters?

Is there any way to force the download of english posters?

The problem is: how can I recognize posters and other picture? I can get the "main" picture, but if I look at media viewer and I filter by language/country I don't know whick kind of image I'll get.

Here some examples (filtering by Spain):

Your script right now takes the user IP location and download the poster for that country.

The Munkey IMDB script (API) takes the correct default poster, for example, for english movies it takes the correct english poster, for german movies the german poster, etc...

Found another bug. For some reason in the Description field if there are "quotes" the script will add \\ around them, like this: \"quotes\" but that's not the main problem, the issue is that the description is cut as soon the first \ shows.

Thanks!!

New version here: 5.2 beta 2:

CHANGELOG
* removed legacy code for old html imdb pages
* fixed \" bug with DescriptionSelection = 0
* imageKind values 4 and 5 updated: now they does no more use merchandise / dvd/ amazon images but original country image (in full size or resized)

So @Dorohedoro double check if new script works for you. Consider I removed all old procedures for old imdb html pages (I think all site now use the new html schema but I'm not sure, so please "if you see something, say something" ). I fixed the bug with description (you are a great bug hunter!) and I used imdbapi.dev for setting original country poster. This is how you can set this: if you set ImageKind 4 you get the original poster at full size. If you set ImageKind 5 and you set LargePictureHeight, you get the original poster with wanted poster height. Option 4 and 5 use imdbapi.dev so double check if one of these cases occur:
- [random fails] no poster / error. Retry after few seconds and it works
- [poster missing only in imdbapi.dev] no poster / error. Retry after few seconds and it does not work. Retry with other ImageKind option (1, 2 or 3) and you get an image

Have nice testing days
