Thanks for your comment, Can you tell me what file do I find this code?

Thank you

In your theme directory, it is video-ui.xml

Thanks man.. that did the trick for now... but we still need the fix for it. My can't search movie by IMDB ID using GUI.

Same problem here, using the latest fixes/updates:

Package: mythvideo
Versions:
0.21.0+fixes20282-0ubuntu0+mythbuntu2

Just upgraded from mythbuntu 8.10 to 9.04 and now have this bug and can't enter IMDB number.

frontend log shows:
2009-05-05 19:49:05.594 UIImageType::LoadImage() - Cannot find image: cr-background.png
2009-05-05 19:49:05.895 videolist.cpp: getVideoListMetadata: index out of bounds: 0
2009-05-05 19:49:42.749 XMLParse::LoadTheme using /home/wilsonic/.mythtv/themes/blootube-wide/video-ui.xml
2009-05-05 19:49:58.348 MythVideo: VideoManager : Failed to get entertmdb object.
MythThemedDialog.o: something is requesting a screen update of zero size. A widget probably has not done a calculateScreeArea(). Will redraw the whole screen (inefficient!).

The frontend then exits if I try and exit from the menu.

I noiced in the error log that the object name in video-ui.xml should be entertmdb.

I edited the line in the video-ui.xml file from <container name="enterimdb"> to <container name="entertmdb"> and it seems to have fixed the problem.

Thank you for continuing to debug this issue. Marking as triaged since you've identified a fix.

Since I use random themes, this command saved me a lot of time in editing all of the video-ui.xml files:

find /usr/share/mythtv/themes/ -name "video-ui.xml" -print | xargs sudo sed -i 's/enterimdb/entertmdb/g'

I have the same issue as described above after upgrading to jaunty. Looks like there is already a fix from DavidValentine, isn't it? Do you think there is a chance to see a fixed package in the repositories in the near future?

Looks like there is a related bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/360345

I can confirm that

find /usr/share/mythtv/themes/ -name "video-ui.xml" -print | xargs sudo sed -i 's/enterimdb/entertmdb/g'

fixes the issue.

I am also confirming that the fix in post #13 and post #10 resolved this issue for me as well. Thank you for posting the work-around!

mythtv:
  Installed: 0.21.0+fixes19961-0ubuntu8
  Candidate: 0.21.0+fixes19961-0ubuntu8
  Version table:
 *** 0.21.0+fixes19961-0ubuntu8 0
        500 http://archive.ubuntu.com jaunty/multiverse Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Those fixes are what is needed to fix this issue. post #10 will remove the IMDB window from the theme totally.
These are not going to be fixed by MythTV dev from what I have been told. They are working on 0.22 and that theme engine is different and a total rewrite.

For me the issue was solved after update to karmic.

Thank you for reporting back that this issue has been resolved.
If there are other reports of releated problems, please open a new ticket since IMDB is no longer supported (starting as of MythTV 0.22 and/or Mythbuntu 9.10).

So does this mean there will not be a fix for 9.04? Can't you use David Valentines fix for anyone who is still using 9.04. You have not released the fix for 9.04.

frankO: Mythbuntu simply repackages the themes that are available
from the upstream MythTV source, and this issue was never fixed there.
The next best that we can offer would be to follow the directions on
David Valentines comment #10 and fix it on your install. Upstream is
shorthanded, so they stopped accepting tickets on 0.21 bugs.

I can also confirm that David Valentine's fix in post #10 works. Much appreciated.
