There is still a problem with the Batch Update Movie Details routine. Three examples are:

Loves of a Blonde, 1965, Czech film
The Lower Depths, 1957, Japanese film
A Man and a Woman, 1966, French film

In all three films the Batch Update Movie Details, actors and roles option placed many of the actors real names into the actors field twice. Their roles were only listed once, usually after the second real name entry.

Batch Update Movie Details still needs work to prevent un-necessary editing of affected films (and since we can't count on it being correct we have to review every film after using the Batch Update Movie Details tool).

Hi, R B Strautman!

Thank you for writing!
We checked the first movie and updated it, everything is fine.

The problems must have been caused by the coding change on IMDb. So, in the movies which were added before IMDb change to utf8 and after that some symbols in actors' names can be different and the program considers them to be different people.

Unfortunately, we can hardly fix it, sorry.

I didn't know that IMDB is already at utf8. Was this change just recent? I personally understand that this might take time. I'll be looking forward to this.
