[SOLVED] IMDB "Get Movie & TV Info" slow searching and no cover art?
« on: July 12, 2018, 02:35:24 am »
Hi all,

For years this has worked fine for me, but all of a sudden, this search function is very slow and when completed there is no longer a cover art picture? All the other info is there just no cover art.

Can anyone advise if there is a setting that I need to change?

Thanks.

Sometimes the server has trouble.  Try again later.

Thank you for the prompt response.  Sorry I have actually had this problem for months I just haven't bothered to post here as I thought it wasn't important enough to waste everyone's time. I think there is an issue, as it hasn't worked for sometime and I have only just gone to MC24, it wasn't working with 23 either for a few months now.

The site converted to a new format and has had some ongoing problems, but it is working right now and has been working fine for me for weeks.

If it isn't working at all for you, ever, check your firewall settings for all MC programs. Part of MC is probably being blocked from reaching the internet.

I have checked windows firewall and there are no parts of MC being blocked from the internet.

Actually, it was https://www.thetvdb.com/ site that changed format, and that is used for TV programs, not movies. I now see from your thread title that you are talking about the IMDB, or more correctly, https://www.themoviedb.org/?language=en, which is what MC uses.

So are TV program lookups working, but movie lookups not working? Or do neither work?

I forgot to mention I'm running W7x64 and a Windows Update solved this issue. I hadn't run updates for some time.

Thanks for all your help guys.
