Crash downloading Posters from Amazon

[Ajaria]

Hello:
Griffith crashes frequently trying to download a Poster from Amazon. With some movies always crumbles.

Thank you.

Can you post some examples?
(Makes it easier to recreate the error)

I get the same thing on occasion with 0.9.5. Windows version.  Example is "Club Vampire" -- when adding to db, all is good, can look up the imdb info. But when I try to get a new poster from AWS, the program crashes.

Hi,

I fixed the problem within the svn repository. Next version of griffith should include the fix.
The crash happens when amazon has no poster for the movie.

Hi Mike -

This still happens for me using version 0.9.5. Try for example fetching a poster for "This is England".

Hi Yakshimash,

next version means >= 0.9.6 or >= 0.10.x.
Version 0.9.5 still contains the problem.

Hi, I have Ubuntu Gutsy and Griffith 0.9.4 crashes and when i start Griffith with --debug i get the following errors:

I've read that the problem was if Griffith couldn't find any posters on amazon. But in my case - as you can see - it found 10 posters. This happens with the movie "1492: Conquest of Paradise".
I've also had a movie that amazon couldn't found any posters for it, but Griffith said nicely that there were 0 posters. No crash on that.

I thought i just post this error, maybe it's different from the 0 posters bug.
