Incorrect rating for TV series #1

Open jay opened 9 years ago

Thank you for writing this extension. I am using v0.1.2.6. I searched on Netflix for the television show Boss and in the search results there is TV series Boss starring Kelsey Grammer with an incorrect 9.1 IMDB rating and a link to an episode of TV series Supernatural. The correct page shows the rating is actually 8.1. I took a look at what's happening and it seems to me that incorrect results can happen due to OMDb API limitations.

Do you still get this problem with the latest version (0.1.2.13)?

jay commented 9 years ago

I tried the latest 0.1.2.14 from your repo and yes I still have the same problem.

joshblum commented 9 years ago

0.1.2.14 has some fixes to caching issues, so I'm hoping this fixes exceeding the API limit. If you're still seeing the error (give a few days for people to install the updates), feel free to submit a pull request to fix.

@jay is this still an issue?

Josh I no longer use the extension. I installed it from its Firefox add-on page in Nightly just now and the TV show Bosses rating points to Horrible Bosses 2. Also the icons are gone or missing, now it just shows a rating number with a green or red background.

If I recall correctly when I reported this issue I sniffed the API or did some debugging and the crowdsourced database that was being used just didn't have the capability to make the distinction. I cannot make a pull request to fix that, I just thought it should be reported.

Ok no problem, I'll take a look ( I'm chrome user so the Firefox extension always lags behind s bit)
