Recently the Leopard Movies widget, which Steve demoed along with Leopard, stopped working in Tiger. Leopard’s built-in Movies widget continues to function, while in Tiger, it gives an error of “invalid zip code.” You can make this widget function once again in 10.4.

Navigate to /Library/Widgets and find the Movies widget. Control-click on the widget and choose Show Package Contents from the pop-up menu. Then open parser.js in your favorite text editor, and replace all occurrences of A99D3D1A-774C-4914-9E3B-18645117428A with DE7E251E-7758-40A4-98E0-87557E9F31F0 and save. Close any open movie widget in Dashboard, then re-open it. Now it works.

I downloaded and installed the Movies widget onto my 10.4.11 OS, but it won’t accept any 5 digit zip code. And without a zip code I can’t get it to work. Is there a required step I’m not aware of?

The widget, when it works, is amazing. The only problem is – it’s not recognizing ANY zip code i put in! Ah!

Great widget, I have been looking for a movie widget for my area in RI for a long time. I live in a small town and it is difficult to find a widget that recognizes our zip code. Thanks again Hedi…

cheers,
