it seems imdb changed the code of its pages again, and now amc doesn't retrieve any images at all.
are you aware of this issue and do you think it could be fixed ?

It seems that they have changed the name of the server where images are stored.
So locate the following lines :
Code: Select all
LineNr := FindLine('<img alt="cover" align="left" src="http://posters.imdb.com/', Page, 0);
if LineNr < 0 then
LineNr := FindLine('<img alt="cover" align="left" src="http://images.amazon.com/', Page, 0);
if LineNr > -1 then
begin
And modify them to get that :
Code: Select all
LineNr := FindLine('<img alt="cover" align="left" src="http://ia.imdb.com/media/imdb/', Page, 0);
if LineNr < 0 then
LineNr := FindLine('<img alt="cover" align="left" src="http://posters.imdb.com/', Page, 0);
if LineNr < 0 then
LineNr := FindLine('<img alt="cover" align="left" src="http://images.amazon.com/', Page, 0);
if LineNr > -1 then
begin
(I am not sure that it is useful to keep the alternate addresses)
Unfortunately it seems that it will no longer be possible to get the larger image
(it was possible when the picture was from amazon.com)

Unfortunately it is not yet possible to run a script step-by-step and debug it.
I'll see if I can add that easily.
