Opening Search link problem...

Beitrag von keithy397 »

Hi,

I have found a little problem which I can't figure out why or how it is occurring and neither can I find a fix.

From 'Currently Running Programs' > 'Program details', when I click on an actors name/link it used to open fine in IMDb (where I set it to search) but recently the URL is displaying - http://akas.imdb.com/find?q=Chris%20Hemsworth. This always leads the search page to Server not found but when I delete the akas. from the URL it works fine. I have no idea where the akas. prefix has come from at all.

How can I get rid of the akas prefix?

Cheers,
Keith

Well, I guess IMDb has changed it's search engine. So open the settings of the internet search plugin and add a new search for the changed IMDb:

Code: Alles auswählen

http://imdb.com/find?q={urlencode(title, "UTF-8")}
Then select the new search as the one to use for the person search.

Sorry but that won't work. After trying to input the url I get the error message as attached...

That's not an error message. As I wrote, you have to add a new search site in the settings of the Web Search plugin, after that was applied it can be selected in the program info plugin.

EDIT: Or just install the update of the Web Search plugin, that fixes the URL.
