"Nothing Was Found" when searching any Amazon Site using GCstar

[Digger]

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.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Thanks for opening this bug report. Are you able to reproduce this issue with gcstar 1.7 in Ubuntu 13.10?

[Lucy Llewellyn (lucyllewy)]

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.

Great, thanks.
