Bug Description

Recently, within the last week the MoviePOsterDB appears to have been broken. Instead of no poster found, it is constantly returning the poster 'The Perfect Roommate'. I have tried recent movies that should be there as well as dome older movies. Did the API for that extension get changed or something?

This is still not working at all for me. Halloween, Halloween II, Hang 'em High, and Hanna all failed, although Hancock works. I do not understand. I could expand this list if you would like. Use <email address hidden> for communication and send me your email if you would like responses. Thanks.

I have no idea anymore what I can do to make it more robust. Sorry.

WEll, I took a small gander at it. It appears that the following statement, which appears 4 times, is incorrect:
                    if data and data.find('movie/0000000') < 0:
I beleive that it should be checking for greater than zero, not less than zero, which would make those statements:
                    if data and data.find('movie/0000000') > 0:

That said.... now everything get returned as:
  document.write('<a target=\"_new\" href=\"http://www.movieposterdb.com/movie/0000000/The-Witchblade.html\"><img title=\"The Witchblade\" alt=\"The Witchblade\" style=\"width: 100px; height: 143px; border: 0px;\" src=\"http://www.movieposterdb.com/posters/08_07/2009/494292/t_494292_508318f3.jpg\" /></a>');

regardless of the input, such as:
http://www.movieposterdb.com/embed.inc.php?movie_title=Rocky
or
http://www.movieposterdb.com/embed.inc.php?movie_title=300[2006]
or
http://www.movieposterdb.com/embed.inc.php?movie_title=16-Wishes[2010]
or basically most anything else although the following does work (why????):
http://www.movieposterdb.com/embed.inc.php?movie_title=Garden%20State[2004]

which properly returns:
  document.write('<a target=\"_new\" href=\"http://www.movieposterdb.com/movie/0333766/Garden-State.html\"><img title=\"Garden State\" alt=\"Garden State\" style=\"width: 100px; height: 143px; border: 0px;\" src=\"http://www.movieposterdb.com/posters/08_11/2004/333766/t_333766_b9a6e423.jpg\" /></a>');

I have posted bug to MoviePOsterDB.... now I will see if they answer. This code does need those four changes though.

Recently, I update my pc to ubuntu 14.04.
Conclusion, the "no poster found" became a problem for me too.

I already used the solution presented here (by Michael (mikej06)) and nothing...
The problem continues.

Please, help!
