I created an entry for the movie "Bad Ass". Then, I tried to fill the entry automatically using allocine.fr. It did not find any information whereas the entry exists on the website (http://www.allocine.fr/film/fichefilm_gen_cfilm=201108.html?nopub=1) Reproducible: Always
It is the same for the movie "Goal ! : naissance d'un prodige". The allocine entry is http://www.allocine.fr/film/fichefilm_gen_cfilm=56435.html?nopub=1
The same thing with "Ghost Dog: la voie du samourai". The allocine entry is http://www.allocine.fr/film/fichefilm_gen_cfilm=20172.html
Same thing with "Mais où est donc passée la septième compagnie ?". The allocine entry is http://www.allocine.fr/film/fichefilm_gen_cfilm=36384.html?nopub=1
The same for "Trop belle !". Allocine entry: http://www.allocine.fr/film/fichefilm_gen_cfilm=132095.html
The same for "Mince alors !". Allocine entry: http://www.allocine.fr/film/fichefilm_gen_cfilm=129372.html

Git commit 81debef3052b56798693570c1ff71a44038a1c3f by Robby Stephenson. Committed on 20/10/2014 at 02:57. Pushed by rstephenson into branch '2.3'. Remove punctuation from Allocine API search text The Allocine API evidently doesn't like most punctuation. For now, rather than removing all non alphabetic characters, limit to just a specific set.

I reopen this bug report since there are still some title that do not whereas the entry exists on allocine.fr in the 2.3.10 version. For example, "Alien, la résurrection" is not find. The allocine entry is there: http://www.allocine.fr/film/fichefilm_gen_cfilm=9046.html
The same for "Ernest et Célestine"
Make sure you're using the version of the data source that uses the Allocine API. The Allocine script from older versions isn't really supported any more by the author who wrote it. I can find both "Ernest et Célestine" and "Alien, la résurrection" in version 2.3.10. If you're in doubt which version you're using, remove the data source and then add it back.
I compiled the latest release, the 2.3.10 version. I di not try to compiled the trunk since the patch you pushed few months ago should be present in the 2.3.10 version
Oops, you were right. I removed the script and downloaded it again and indeed now it works. Sorry for the noise.
