It seems there is a problem search in Amazon store except US, pedia ( I tried DVD and CD ).
The app from Appstore or the beta, wait the result of the search forever with no results.

Hi - you say "problem search in Amazon store except US" Please provide which Amazon Store you are attempting to search.

I tried all of the Amazon Stores that DVDpedia supports, including the Italian store which I am presuming is the one you mean, and had no problems. Very quick on my 950/540 Mbps fibre connection.

Also please the install the latest Beta: DVDpedia Version 6.2.0 Beta 220

Amazon could of temporally dropped out. Also please ensure you have enabled the Amazon Test.

Search settings

1 - Hold down the Option key and click on the main Help menu and ensure there is a Tick against Amazon Test
2 - Preferences > Sites Click on Amazon Settings and ensure that Amazon Test Enabled is in the first top line
3 - Ensure all your required sites are Ticked
4 - You can left click, hold and drag up or down on each site to prioritise the search order.
5 - Close Preferences
6 - Click on the Add button on the Toolbar to bring up the Search box
7 - Click on the Magnifying glass twistie and ensure there is a tick against All Now the pedia will search All the sites you have selected in Preferences in the order you arrange them in.

I hope this is of benefit for you :D

Let us know how you get on.

Sorry to say, same problem to me with all the Amazons. Normally I use Amazon DE. The import or the device update the entry hangs after 50%.

I also use all the pedias.

Please be patient all - Top Dog Conor is aware and is working on the problem. macOS 12 Monterey has created some unforeseen problems.

A program update will be along soon. :D

Thank you everybody for the information and the files. It's now fixed in all the beta version 222.

MacOS 12 Monterey took away PHP. I was relying on PHP to do the complicated signing of headers for European Amazons and Japan. Without PHP it started crashing/hanging when it couldn't find PHP where it should be. I have rewritten all the singing code on my own and it's in the included beta. I'll do an official release in a few days when the fix is verified and working for all that use Amazon regularly.

Using DVDpedia 6.2.1 on MacOS Mojave 10.14.6 here.

No Amazon search is working for me other than Amazon US. I added some titles from Amazon UK some 10 days ago and it seemed to be working fine back then.
