[SOLVED] Wierd behaviour in all movie script.

[CAD]

H,

I am importing data using IMDB +ALL Movie Script.
Some imports from All Movie have strange behaviour.

eg
When searching All Movies.
Search panel shows Movie to be searched as:
"Last Hitman, The (2004)
The folder on My Hard drive is "The Last Hitman (2008)"
The correct entry from All Movie is "The Last Hit man (2007)"

Not sure if the script is not picking up folder name correctly and passing incorrect value to allmovie or script gets confused if there is no match??

Check your prefix settings in Tools -> Preferences -> Movies -> Title formatting

Check your prefix settings in Tools -> Preferences -> Movies ->  Title formatting

Thnaks Nostr, this is not the issue:

Prefix settings are at the end.
This behavior is as expected.

The issue is that Allmovie script "thinks" movie name is "Last Hitman, The (2004)"
but folder movie lives in is "The Last Hitman (2008)"
All movie script should be searching for "Last Hitman, The (2008)" not (2004).

Did some more testings....
If I select Allmovie script only correct values get parsed. ie.Last Hitman, The (2008)
If I select IMDB+AllMovie incorrect value gets parsed. ie: "Last Hitman, The (2004)"

It's because imdb only finds one match for the query and it is the "The Last Hitman (2004)". Interesting, but there is also no match for The Last Hitman 2008 on Allmovie.
You need to enter "The Last Hit Man" (note the space between Hit and Man) to get the right results.

I suspect the problem is with the flaky Allmovie search engine. It often behaves this way with searches done at the site. Sometimes, it can't even find a movie when the search is exactly the same as the title in it's database. The script uses the same search, so it's going to have the same problems.
