| Post subject: | Problem grabbing IMBD info |
Hi, I seem to have a problem grabbing information on movies from IMDB. It works fine if I enter the IMDB number manually, but if I try to have it done automatically the myth frontend closes. The files I have been trying to look up are movies I've encoded into .avi format. I thought that it would just look for the title when trying to find the information, so I made sure to have the movie title the exact same as it is on IMDB. Any thoughts? Thanks, Justin |

From what I can figure out, MythVideo does a best guess when it queries IMDB. For instance the movie AI(artifical intellgence) with a file name of ai.avi will not retrieve the correct information. Memento(memento.avi) will return the correct info. So it is all based on file name... |

Do you know what might be causing the frontend to crash? When I had Myth compiled on RedHat in the past it wouldn't do that. It only does it when trying to get the information automatically. Thanks again, Justin |

well exit out of mythtv then open up a terminal and run mythfrontend from there, and see if you get any info in the terminal when it crashes. |

If you go to the video manager section then hit a number key you can edit the information so that it will search for something different in the IMDB.

I'm getting the same problem using RC4, I'm getting segmentation faults on auto lookup, and if I enter the imdb number manually it doesn't seem to accept the 'enter' key, just sits there. I should add that it worked with the first couple of films I put in, but then stopped. |
