Which fields point to Amazon?

Thank you for the detailed information. Not sure why it would default to the US version, when you only searched in the UK. I'll take another look at the code as that should not happened. The reason the originally UK result did not show up for the search was that the Amazon entry does not contain "Phantom der Nacht" which is part of the search.

OK - thanks Conor. If you find anything I'd be interested to know of course. I'd assumed that once I manually copied in the ASIN it would find the right Amazon and version, especially as I deliberately went nowhere near the US Amazon when adding the title. I've had this issue on quite a few recent additions but, oddly perhaps, not on all of them. Thanks for listening.

Kind regards,

Keith

Hi Conor - just to keep this one live... it still doesn't work as it should. Today I added The Box (Bluray) using IMDB as the source. I then deleted the ASIN and the UPC and searched Amazon UK - the movie was found and the information added. However, clicking the Amazon button still tries to take me to the USA Amazon and not the UK Amazon. It then returns a 404 as the ASIN is not found on the USA Amazon site. If I delete the url field and then update via Amazon UK, then clicking the Amazon button takes me to the UK Amazon site and correctly locates the DVD.

However, if I add a movie using Amazon UK as the first search, and then I delete the url and then search for the movie using IMDb, when I then click the Amazon link, it takes me to the UK Amazon and correctly locates the movie/DVD. This is despite the url field now having an IMDb url in it.

It's weird. If I add the movie using Amazon UK and then delete the url and update via IMDb, it works as it should. But if I add the movie from IMDb, then delete the ASIN and the UPC and update via Amazon, the Amazon button does not work. It seems that somehow, somewhere, the Amazon data required to locate the movie/DVD on Amazon UK is being embedded when I use Amazon UK to first add the movie, but is not being used when I replace the ASIN and UPC manually. I should add that I have checked the ASIN and the UPC for each movie that has given me this issue (all of them since I started using IMDb as my primary source) and the entires in DVDpedia and those for the particular movie on the Amazon UK site are the same. Any ideas?

TBH, this is no big deal and I can live without a fix for it, but it's always nicer when things work as they ought to

Kind regards.

Hi Keith,

Try out the new beta 21, I have updated it so that you shouldn't get the wrong country site anymore once you remove the ASIN from the edit panel after having added a movie. I use the gear button while previewing the IMDb results, to add UK information, without yet having added the movie and this is why I was not seeing the same behaviour.

The URL should have no effect on the Amazon command as the URL should be an IMDb URL that has no Amazon information.

Hi Conor,

That's got it! Fantastic - thank you so much.
