imdb-thumbnailer not downloading covers

[max]

Hi Yuzem - a few days ago imdb thumbnailer stopped downloading covers from imdb.. I'm not aware of anything changing on my system that would affect this... Has imdb changed their policy re: downloading covers via wget?

Hi Max, it seems that google has changed something, I will fix it as soon as possible.
Thanks for reporting!

Hi Yuzem - thanks for looking into this so quickly... But there's still something not working.

I've run
imdb-thumbnailer -r <some film>
imdb-thumbnailer -u <some film>

on a film that had a thumbnail it was removed and reverted to the stock thumbnail (image from the film) but then didn't update to an imdb thumbnail

I've also re-run imdb-thumbnailer --set-nautilus of course

any ideas?

Strange, it is working here.
Try restarting nautilus.
If it doesn't work try this:
gedit ~/.imdb-thumbnailer/config

Insert the next line somewhere:
zenity --info

You must have zenity installed, I think it must be installed by default.
Now try:
imdb-thumbnailer -u <some film>

You should see a dialog once for the command, then go to nautilus to see if the thumbnail gets updated, if you see the same dialog again before the thumbnail gets updated then the thumbnailer is correctly associated, if not, then that's the problem.
You can now remove the zenity line from the config.

Thanks Yuzem - I tried with Zenity and the 2 dialogs popped up and everything is OK now...

Until then nothing was updating

thanks very much

I'm a happy person again!
