2 other here : "tt0078628" & "tt0089453" , it seems like the server confuses TV movies with episode of a TV series.

Apparently, the server can't retrieve the correct data for TV movies, TV series and mini-series with the new design/title format at IMDb. (Strangely enough, direct-to-video titles and videogames still work.)

The titles from above should work now.
If other users have problems with some titles, then post the IMDb links, so that the titles can be added manually meanwhile.

Ok, I finally figured out how to add titles manually as a moderator. cjk32, both of yours above were added... All others in here were in as far as I could tell...

It seems the issue is it recognizes "Video" or "TV" tag as a year.

Excellent, thanks Ashirg. Do you think you could work similar magic with http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1039624/.

As IMDB now offer an iPhone app, there must be a machine readable data source available from somewhere. Perhaps this could be exploited to simplify extraction of IMDB data.

Also of note, even once the poster has been added successfully, it still cannon be accessed through the API, e.g. http://api.movieposterdb.com/console?type=JSON&api_key=demo&secret=demo&imdb_code=1047835&title=&width=100

I added 1039624. Unfortunately, I can not answer your second question. More experienced moderator should take a look.

I'll try and fix this soon.

As for the API: it currently only returns posters, not covers. I'll think about that.
