Showtimes not working.

Is anyone else having this problem. I no longer can update my listings.

Yeah...I haven't been able to update listings for a couple of days either. It looks like Yahoo is having some problems with their movie listings because my MyYahoo home page isn't listing movies right either. Although this could be the beginning of the end for Showtimes if Yahoo is performing an update to shake off the leeches.

Developers using Sourceforge are working on it!

that's great....maybe they can get the plots working while they're at it!

Thanks to Kevin Jones AKA <zorvek> Showtimes is now working.
You can get the fix here.

I've missed showtimes soooooooo much. And <drumroll> the IMDB plots are working again! This effort deserves some sort of reward. Does anyone know more about this Kevin Jones; I'd like to donate some money for his hard work....anyone who uses it should think about it also.

Looks like a update to the Parser was made. Make sure you download version 2.03

Yahoo Patch 2.03
Yahoo made another slight formatting change - this time
to the movie detail page. It was enough to break the
script. They sure are busy these days! Thanks to
Jeremy Yoder for spotting the format change and giving
me a code fix so I can post an update quickly. I have
posted the download at www.zorvek.com/showtimes.

Clear the cache directory before running.

Special note for those with strict firewalls: either run
getdata.pl (requires the Perl environment) or run
getdata.exe via a .bat file that sets the environment
variable PAR_TEMP to a short string like "partemp". If
getdata.exe is run without this setting it uses a
different temo directory name each time which results in
firewall permission dialogs.

I got this info from his Sorceforge post.
