Using windows 10 64bit. I have the imdb plugin installed, but it refuses to work for some reason.

Am I doing something wrong?

@horusra hey! This plugin uses unofficial imdb API: omdb and looks like they have some troubles now:

@horusra btw, looks like it is not permanent issue, because after several attempts I could get a result: screen shot 2017-02-09 at 17 43 46

Possibly explore the use of the imdb node module which uses screen scraping to retrieve IMDB information? (Doesn't rely on OMDB to be up)

Was this issue ever resolved? I have the same problem on Ubuntu. However, it shows up as a suggestion, cerebro_imdb but when chosen it shows the same as @horusra . May seem like google is overriding it somehow.

@hafager as I said above this plugin uses OMDB API, and looks like recently they went to private type of API:

It means we will have to figure out what is the better way for our users to use this API.

@KELiON ah I see. Thanks.

Same issues as above but their website is now showing as open again? Any chance of fixing this?

Any chance of fixing this?

Done! But the API now supports only 1000 requests per day, so sometimes it can be reached by Cerebro users.

I've added idea to solve this issue in #3
