Hi,
I'm finding that having PopularSearches enabled (default) is often (~30% of the time) resulting in a response of "No Movie Found" even when I'm entering the actual IMDB URL of a movie, let alone the "title (year)" format.
Examples:
Limitless (2011)
Love Birds (2011)
Blitz (2011)
I'm using the v3.70 script from the script repository.

I have tried your three examples and they work perfect with the fix I posted. See my post and try the last version of my fix to the script.

Thanks agb76.
I've added your changes to the v3.70 script and have found it works great with 2 or the 3 examples I provided.
I still get the exact same outcome with the movie "Blitz (2011)" with both the movie name and the exact IMDB URL (
http://imdb.com/title/tt1297919/).
oddly, even when I turn of PopularSearch in the script, I still get the same error when I search on the URL and if I search on Blitz (2011) I get a bunch of results, but not including the movie!

As I should find some more time tomorrow to work on a new version of IMDB script, I'm interested in such finds, too. It's easier to fetch specific cases early, than changing code later again.

AnthonyB & starf, may I ask which country you are from ?
The problem seems to be (again) that IMDB delivers different localized pages to users from different countries, which makes it hard to catch up with the code.
If you could open e.g. Thor in your browser and save the page to hdd, then zip it or only save the source code from this page, it would be a great help for code comparision. Let me know if you can do and I'll pm my mail address.

@bad4u - no problem. I've saved and zipped the page and PM'd you a download link.
I'm from Australia.
