Griffith

No result from databases

Asked by Bob-El

I recently installed Griffith on my Ubuntu 14.04 computer to replace GCstar Collections Manager as my movie database program. I was able to import my collection without the covers which I've been adding manually because I can't seem to get any from the sources.

A few days ago I purchased a DVD from Amazon and wanted to put it in the database. When IMDB didn't respond, I checked the site on the web and my DVD wasn't listed. So I went to Amazon and went through the painstaking process of getting the required keys but, although Amazon lists the DVD, a search provided "no results". I tried every source in the list with the same result.

To test the search feature I tried searching for "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets". Both IMDB and Amazon gave me "no results". This leads me to believe that Griffith is not functioning for some reason or another. I went to the forum to post my question and it is no longer taking new registrations.

So I don't waste any more of my time, tell me, please, is Griffith no longer being supported? If it is, what is wrong with my installation?

Regards,
Bob Lanctot

Status may have expired but my problem hasn't. Griffith still doesn't work.

Both databases, IMDb and Amazon, gave me the correct results for your sample "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets".
Which version of griffith do you use?
Can you please start griffith with the argument "--debug" and post the debug output from your shell here after you repeat your search?

Hi Michael,

I'm currently far away from home and I won't be back until next week. I'll
be able to answer you then.

Regards,
Bob
