UNKNOWN flags shown and Certification do not work at all #2800

I used YAMJ r2.10-SNAPSHOT-2016-01-27-2018 for a long time and it was basicall working flawlessly until it started to show UNKNOWN flags randomly for Directors/Plot/etc. Also, there was no generated Certification.

Updated to r2.10-SNAPSHOT-2017-09-19-1318. Now some titles work, some still get "UNKNOWN", Rating -1 and there is generally no Certification any longer.

What is happening? Thanks for any feedback.

I am using JRE 1.6.0_65 on a Max OS X 10.11.6 El Capitan.

I've also been hitting this quite frequently lately. I've found a couple of issues that I'm still investigating:

One of the IMDB HTML tags for plots has changed and is not being matched by the Imdb plugin anymore;
Some issues with release dates sometimes cause NullPointerException's that ultimately lead to many movie attributes left as UNKNOWN.

I'll post more later.

I've got a fix for both issues. Parsing release dates is now more robust and many of my "blank" movies are again fully populated. I've also improved the extraction of release dates cutting down running time quite a bit.
