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!

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 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.

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):
https://www.imdb.com/it/title/tt0077355/mediaviewer/rm711524864/
https://www.imdb.com/it/title/tt0077355/mediaviewer/rm728302080/


Here filtering by english:
https://www.imdb.com/it/title/tt0077355/mediaviewer/rm2396325376/
https://www.imdb.com/it/title/tt0077355/mediaviewer/rm2544967681/

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.

EXAMPLE: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0107895/reference/

Official IMDB script:

IMDB API script from Munkey:

Thanks!!
