Hello,

The Cinemotion Script does not work anymore.
When making a request for a Film title then
It sends the message : "Error connecting with SSL"
The script release is 1.3.3
The AMC release is 4.2.1 BETA

Please help.

Hi,
That means they upgraded their server and that now TLS 1.1 or 1.2 is required for the HTTPS connection.
It cannot be fixed in the script, you have to upgrade to AMC 4.2.2, currently available as beta version from viewtopic.php?f=6&t=6862
(for me the script works with that version of AMC)

Hello,

I Replaced HTTPS by HTTP in the Cinemotion script and now it works again.
Do you think that there is any risk connecting this way?

About the Version 4.2.2.1, I see that the "media info" does not work with XP. I have XP and use "Media info" all the time. So I'dont think to try that version, unless there is a solution to continue using "Media Info" from the 4.2.1 beta that works well.

Please let me know.

Anyway many thanks for your quick answer.

I'm still on XP too, don't worry about MediaInfo with XP, it works well for me. If you run into trouble, you can also change the Mediainfo dlls with the ones from the older version, they are independent from AMC.
I tested AMC Beta 4.2.2.1 for a while and got no errors at all with XP, so you can give it a try.
Sooner or later the most sites will change to encryption, so you'll need to change then to AMC 4.2.2 anyway.

If the script works in HTTP, there is no risk, I'm just surprised as indeed more and more sites force a redirect to HTTPS

About MediaInfo, I'm surprised when you say that it works on XP; maybe it is just in my XP virtual machine that something is missing then? Maybe due to a lack of updates sinces the XP SP3 itself.
However I don't think putting an old MediaInfo version with the newer AMC version would work: there is a version check for compatibility, and they changed the version numbering system at some point. If needed (and if it does not work in latest version) I can easily make it work with the MediaInfo version that was included in AMC 4.2.1.

hm, this is quite odd. For some more testing I just changed the one file MediaInfo.dll. Tested with mkv, mp4, avi, mpg, flv, asf, m4v, wmv.

On their website, MediaArea says their newest v18.05. is compatible with XP, but it's not working with AMC 4.2.2 nor with 4.2.1 (just empty fields but no error).
The version you provide with AMC 4.2.2 is v18.03.1, and this particular one works perfectly for me, but not in AMC 4.2.1
And you're right, my old so far used version 0.7.91 (not sure where I got this one from) does not furthermore work with AMC 4.2.2.

So the conclusion is, that v0.7.91 works with AMC 4.2.1 and v18.03.1 with AMC 4.2.2 for all supported fields. (sometimes language is missing)
As far as I know, there is nothing special about my XP-Version, just SP3 - Can't remember about any updates thereafter.

Not sure if or what you've done (AMC tied to this particular version of MediaInfo?), but the combination from your Beta works smoothly for me with XP and W7 x64. Sometimes it's just magic

AMC 4.2.1 checks that MediaInfo version starts by 0.7.
AMC 4.2.2 checks that MediaInfo version starts by 18.03, I think (I don't have the latest code on this computer).
0.7 and 18.03 are actually compatible, so it could check for one of these two versions.
It is strange that the 18.05 does not return a version error; I should check that.
Maybe it just checks that it starts by 18, but something is incompatible between the .03 and .05

The checks for 0.7 respectively 18.03 would then explain the behaviour. Looks like they increase their version numbers much faster now, so a check for v18+ independent of the second number may hold longer than a couple of weeks. Or perhaps you can relinquish for the version check at all?

btw. 18.05 works well as GUI-Version.

But thats all a little OT in this thread here. My summary is for now, that your current BETA works as is for XP and good to give it a try.
Thanks for your revived development anyway.
