Problem with imdb lookup

March 13th, 2010 by admin
  • well,
    over the past few days, i have loaded up some new movies onto my xbox. i press the white button wile the file is highlighted to do an imdb lookup and get all the movie info and cover art but it only will hit on an exact match, it used to show partial matches and stuff, but not anymore, and when i do get an exact mach it isn’t able to download the cover picture for the movie. i am thinking that imdb website had a overhaul or modification to their website engine and at the same time screwed up xbmc’s ability to perform searches properly.

    :help:


  • can’t find any compiled versions anywhere, newest i can get is the 12-8-04 cvs build. can't find newer even in the the usual places. i guess i’ll have to wait a few days for a new build to be released.

    :thumbsup:


  • you are correct. imdb did overhaul their website. it has been fixed in the cvs i believe
    what is the cvs?

    i am currently running a cvs build dated 2004-11-30

  • once you've done a lookup, start it again (twice a row). you should get the cover then.


  • so ?? the problem is known by xbmc programmers ?? the problem will be resolved ?? thx


  • i had the same problem and 1-2 cvs fixed it. however, imdb keeps naming my western movies french names. the good the bad and the ugly and once upon a time out west are both listed by french titles. weird.


  • i still have the problems with the 2-01 build also. i deleted tdata and udata after putting in the new build. deleted the previous thumbs to ensure that the problem was with 'a' particular lookup. with earlier builds 18-12, i had no problems. now, it does not lookup for any movie. where can i be going wrong?


  • you are correct. imdb did overhaul their website. it has been fixed in the cvs i believe


  • maybe a silly question - but the people who have probs with downloading cover art (with current cvs whenever) - have you upgraded your hdd ??

    since upgrading my hdd - i have not been able to get cover art to download correctly, maybe its something linked to a particluar group like us - rather than an overall issue (??) affecting the cvs.

    i have no idea why this might happen - of even if it does, but as it seems to be a re-ocurring issues influenced by many factors, perhaps we should start some sort of poll/ yes/no it works and the setup - it might get the issues out in the open once and for all ???


  • the cvs link (http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/xbmc/xbmc/changelog.txt). you'll need a build of 21/12 or later.


  • i've got the new build and the white button (for imdb lookup in video's) does nothing anymore....just tried the new build because i like the imdb lookup so much. i also have a problem with playing video, i cannot stop it when it's playing, the xbox hangs. this happens every time i try to update to a newer version by the way. i always have to put back the 1.1 build. does anybody have the same problems or can someone help me out?

    ps. i've deleted every old files and the stuff on e:\.

  • i got the same problem, and i am running "build 12-08", and imdb is still not working :verysad:


  • i just joined the forum site and im having the same problem with my xbox loading the covers for my movies. will the site be up to load to covers? what can i do to get the covers onto my xbox again? :evil:


  • greets to all. i have been following this forum religiously as i have just set up my xbox with xbmc ( after much frustration with xbmp). all the probs i have had with codecs etc have been pretty much solved by you guys....thanx.

    ** edited by hullebulle: maybe you should read the forum rules. *:nuts: **


  • a cvs date is like a build date. the code gets updated almost daily and those who build the actual program from the code date the build. the link above shows the changes that the coders have made and on what day they made those changes.


  • :angry: :angry: the problem exist always with the last cvs release of xbmc (01/02/05) !!!
    i can download the info of a movie by imdb but i i don't see/download the cover art associated !!


  • slice - the latest compiled version jan02-2005 fixes the missing icons. i had the same problem and thought i had broken my xbmc until i read this thread. its available on the ***** uk area.

    cheers
