Why is the movie search failing now?

I'm using windows 11 latest release, and I attempted several times to add a movie (that is in the IMDB database), but I continually get an http error 202 with 0 files found.  Is this due to the latest Windows 11 patches, or something else?  thank you.

@dwallace7456 ,
It's not Windows 11's fault;
This is coming from IMDb, which is likely testing safeguards against aggressive AI parsing. That explains the issues with scripts, even though we're neither aggressive nor dangerous;
Sometimes the scripts start working again after 8 or 10 days, but there's no guarantee...
Fortunately, there's TMDb...

So, if I understand correctly, there is nothing I can do to 'fix' it.  I simply need to wait till it begins to work again?  If so, that's fine.  If however, the fix requires a change in a script, I'm at a loss.  Thank you for your response.

 

best regards,

I had no idea that TMDb was an alternate search. It is now working just fine. Thanks SO much. I'm 72 and a bit slow on the uptake, but normally can figure stuff out when pointed in the right direction. Again, a huge thank you.

@dwallace7456 , Yes, it's best to use TMDB!
