Empty results for SearchSubtitles & SearchMoviesOnIMDB

Hello,

I'm running into an issue since yesterday: some methods return empty results.

I'm testing using my own code (that was working before) and using the debugger (http://www.opensubtitles.org/addons/xml-rpc/debugger/)

The method LogIn works fine as I get the token but the methodes SearchSubtitles or SearchMoviesOnIMDB don't return the info as before:
Please see the debug info below.

For info, I tried to log using my registered useragent with my account as well as the testing one (OSTestUserAgent).

Could you please let me know if you have any info on why I get no results?

Thanks in advance for your great service!
Gregoire

1. We dont have any subtitles for imdb http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0430937/
http://www.opensubtitles.org/en/search/ ... id-0430937

Try to use different imdb

2. There was problem with IMDB searching (they changed a bit design...), try 'back to the future 2' and so on, now the old one is cached. Also, if possible, dont use this Method, use some wrapper in your programming language, because you can not rely on our one (could be blocked, when design change it is problem, they dont have any API).

Thanks a lot for your reply,

I just wanted to update you: the methods work again since yesterday without changing anything on my side.

Thanks again!
