Bug Description

When searching any Amazon site (like US, CA or UK) for books I always get the message "Nothing was found. Do you wish to search another site?". ISBNdb seems to be working fine. Do I have to configure GCstar to use an Amazon site for searching? The problem has only starting occuring in the last week or two, so I wondered if maybe Amazon had changed something their end.

the same problem exists in the amazon UK and US plugins for Movie information when searching for either a hand-typed title or a scanned barcode via the Android app.

yes, this issue is still present in Ubuntu 13.10/GCStar 1.7.0. As a test I used the barcode number: 5039036050319 and queried the Amazon UK site.

When searching for the same barcode using amazon's website (http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=5039036050319), I correctly get the Alien Anthology Blu Ray boxed set, which proves the issue is not with amazon's database lacking the desired title.
