IMDB search not working

[PhiBo]

I think something at IMDB broke the DVDpedia search in the past 24 hours. Yesterday I was still able to add films by IMDB search, now the search just doesn't finish (indefinitely spinning processing icon).

My search is not working for Amazon and IMDB

The same at mine search engine. All others do, but IMDB shows nothing then a beach ball. Neither restart nor deleting preferences are showing any changes. Hope support line has any advice. The IMDB API is still working over the internet.

The same problem here.

P.S:
I've replaced (as an experiment) the IMDB plugin with the latest version from DVDpedia beta 8.
DVDpedia has not crashed and has downloaded some data from IMDB. Unfortunately, missing some information for country, runtime, genre, production company, etc.

We're working on fixing the plug-in. Will let you know when it's done.

The IMDb plug-in is back to normal, thanks for letting us know everyone. Download DVDpedia beta 9 for the fix.

For users running version 4.6.8, download DVDpedia 4.6.8 once more for the fix.

Glad that is fixed. Any idea when it will be an official release. I ask because this past weekend I sang the praises of DVDpedia to friend who is not tech savvy, but was so impressed with what I showed her, she purchased it on Sunday. Last night I got a call saying something was wrong. It was the IMDB issue, and Isight didn't work. I found the solution to that, but no way to explain how to remove the plug-in in QT, she just didn't understand and over the phone, forget it. Hopefully that will be addressed as well in the next release. Telling her now that she has to go to the site and the forum to find out where to d/l and then install a beta...yikes, I can she her hiding in the corner.

She can just download the program once more from our website, the regular download link on the DVDpedia page. The plug-in is fixed in that version as well. (Tell her to delete her copy of DVDpedia from the Applications folder and then re-download the program. Her data won't be affected by this since it's kept separately from the application.)
Thanks for helping us spread the word about the Pedias!

Thanks!

As always with Pedia. The help: Faster than fast.
Thank you very much and a Happy New Year to your team

Thanks for speedy fix people. However, my edit box on the beta is incomplete. I'm lacking the cog in the bottom right hand corner (and thus cannot update info), plus the 'next' and 'previous' buttons though functional are blank (ie no arrows).

EDIT: My edit facility is crumbling - now the rating stars have disappeared (before my very eyes) plus I can't change rating in details view either!

FURTHER EDIT: OK, panic over, a shut and start again seems to have fixed things.

Can I just say that the Doghouse came into its own during this IMDB white-out.

I'm pleased to say that the Doghouse had 3 out of the 4 DVDs I wanted to add to my collection

[Nora]

Excellent news, thanks for sharing!

EDIT: if you should have any further trouble with the UI, please do let us know.

The IMDB plugin is working again on 4.6.8 but unfortunately the extended cast list has been cut short in the Credits section. that was my main reason for using the IMDB. Its possible that it is because i am on my PPC machine... I'll check my Intel mac at home to see if i get the same problems and re reply. Thanks for the quick fix Nora!!

It looks like IMDB is working again (thanks for the fix with the beta version), but the Amazon search in Bookpedia seems to have disappeared all of a sudden (it's now asking for a web access key and a "secret" key). Anything we can do to have Amazon available again?
