Fandango has made some changes to their website which breaks the theater plugin in many instances. Unfortunately with the holidays here, it is hard for me to get some time to fix it. I hope to work on it some this week and get it working again.

i installed it in 99.5 and it's not even giving me the option to set up the zip code, nor does Theater appear in my buttons in GBDVR?

[TornadoTJ]

nevermind, got the config working... now to see if I can get the rest.

Works great for movie listings, I don't see some of my nearby theaters, and no reviews, but at least I see something.

Mine has always had some trouble with the reviews as well as only showing some of the movie times.
Hopefully the new release will address some of this.

Unfortunately my time to devote to this has been a little lacking due to the holidays and a hectic work schedule. Fandango is being sneaky and changing the way little things work here and there and it ends up causing a cascading effect on everything. I hope to have a fix out soon.

I have a half-assed fix for it, but I would much rather get a solid fix ready before I release it. Fandango is starting to hide certain things behind server side code and obfuscating the names of files/images which is making things rather crappy to web scrape. If I can't get a 100% fix soon, I might just release it as is and re-write the web scrape for another website (yahoo movies).
