@Mr.T
This is changed in 2.0c

Attachment in first post updated.

[somewherenotthere]

Is it possible to have a similar script that fetches any content, like google search results with description, epguides info, etc?

Sorry i am very new to scripting. The reason is that, in my country, our ISPs split local and international and cap our international data amounts. Once capped you cannot browse sites outside of the country.

Therefore we want to provide users with the ability to use the hub's bandwidth to search and return results

[speedX]

Nice script lUk3f1l3w4lK3R...

lUk3f1l3w4lK3R gives Special Thankz to:
Mutor (your scripts helps me alot to understand this LUA stuff)

Same here. Mutor's scripts have also helped me to learn new stuff in LUA
Thanks Mutor

[Dreams]

This is a nice script, very handy!

But like this movie " Dawn of the dead " there are both a original and a remake, and when searching on this movie, i only get the remakes info.
Is it possible to add this so that both movies is shown?

If i use the search string that you used then i also get only the remake from 2004
but with a redefined search string it is possible to get the remake as well.
"Dawn of the dead" shows remake
"George A. Romero's Dawn of the Dead" shows the original from 1978

In my opinion there is no need to change the script that it shows more then one search result
cause like you can see it is possible to get the original instead of the remake
and the only thing that is needed for this is a redefined search string.

cheers

Is it possible to add so that i can search for ex. "Dawn of the dead 1900, or 1985" and the search will show me the original instead of the remake?
I dont mean that im only gona search for dawn of the dead, but as an example.

Would be nice if one could search with the year in the search string, would be easier for the users.

Instead of my previous request.

i dont get it working to search with the year included. This doesnt work on imdb too. If you search on imdb with the year included then you get also the remake as first search result. The best thing to get the original instead of the remake is to include the director name (if you know it) in the search string.
Remake search strings:
Dawn of the dead
Zack Snyder + Dawn Of the dead

Original search strings:
Zombie: Dawn of the dead
Georg A. Romero + Dawn of the dead
Dawn of the Living Dead
In de greep van de zombies

If i ever get it to work to search including the year, then i will fill your request
but for now, i must say that the script like it is now, is everything i can do for you.

[Jimbob]

I was searching for the movie '4,3,2,1' (in google not your script) and got this http://www.imdb.com/video/imdb/vi2444363545/

Would it be possible to include the link for the trailer in the output from IMDB script?
