Hey there.
Send me the URL to [email protected] so I can investigate what is happening and fix it!
Edit: Looking at it now, it seems like it's broken for all URLs. Will see what is going on and will report in here a bit later.

Re: IMDB movie import
Apparently IMDB ramped up their bot detection and we can no longer directly fetch the list.
They offer .CSV export of their lists though, so I have now updated the import to use that.
Let me know!

I tried it today and it failed. It created a CSV file, but was not accepted into Next-Episode. I have some screen shots that may help.
I don't know how to show the data.

Re: IMDB movie import
Did you obtain the CSV exactly through the "How to export your IMDb list as CSV:" instructions on the import page or in some other way?
Can you send me the CSV to [email protected] so I can inspect it and see if the import mechanism needs adjusting?
Cheers!
