TICKET ARCHIVE -> Movie menu no longer shows movie info

Lillian Trachse - Nov 2, 2006 - 3:38 am

When I try to use the Sherlock feature to find local movie times and locations, this information no longer appears. It did for the first months I owned my computer, and I found it very handy. Now, no matter what I type in for either movies, locations, ZIP codes, cities, etc., it just says "No results found." Any idea how I can make it work again? Thanks. HH

Sherlock hasn't been updated in some time. It relies on reading the data from various websites and displaying it in a nice GUI. The problem is that the various websites keep changing their code and thus breaking Sherlock.

Widgets have pretty much replaced Sherlock's functionality. Here's a couple of widgets for movie listings:

You'll need to update the widgets frequently as well but these seem to actually be getting updated whereas Sherlock is a dead application.
