Imdb error on some movies
#1
on a handful of movies i have on the xbox - mostly old kung fu flicks - the imdb lookup fails. i noticed it tonight specifically on "ninja: the final duel" which is here on imdb: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0091636/

the error log from xbmc shows:
error imdb: unable to parse web site

is there something i can do to fix this?

thanks!

i'm using a cvs build from 4/6/05.

it's pretty new, but do you think a newer version would solve my issues?

that's new enough. do you get the list to choose the movie from?

actually, no, i don't get the list. i immediately get the keyboard. i've fiddled with the name and can't get it to come back.

is this a different problem?
