Thank you so much!

The new version isn't available yet?

To get it via an AMC update, it must be updated by antp.
Otherwise, download it from GitHub, then search your PC for "IMDB_ALT.ifs" file and replace it.

What's a parade without a little rain, eh?

While updating some movies I observed a small issue with this script.

This documentary, for example: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt21870816

It has a lot of credits on its page formatted like this:

Code: Select all

Billie Joe Armstrong	Self - Vocalist & Guitarist, Green Day
Duff McKagan	Self - Bassist, Guns N' Roses
Steve Jones	Self - Guitarist, Sex Pistols
Paul Cook	Self - Drummer, Sex Pistols

Observe the comma and space before the band's name.

I have selected the option to have actors listed with their character names, and with that the comma appears to be replaced by a linebreak, pushing the band names in their own rows:

Code: Select all

Billie Joe Armstrong ... Self - Vocalist & Guitarist
Green Day
Duff McKagan ... Self - Bassist
Guns N' Roses
Steve Jones ... Self - Guitarist
Sex Pistols
Paul Cook ... Self - Drummer
Sex Pistols

This issue is not that easy to spot when it's only one or two credits buried among a few dozen, and I see that contrary to my original impression such credits are not as rare an occurrence on IMDb as I thought.

Here's a sample movie with a small cast and one credit with the above issue: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0043344 (it also shows IMDb's inconsistency in that a comparable credit is followed by a dash, not a comma).

Having said all that, I am most grateful to Munkey for this script. It's a lifesaver!
