RE: Universal Movie Scraper - lookidok - 2023-06-06
Seems the addon is throwing an error on Kodi 20.x because of the schema change.
The error is.
Addon Error:
error <general>: Repository add-on repository.universalscrapers uses old schema definition for the repository extension point! This is no longer supported, please update your addon to use <dir> definitions.
This will cause issues going forward.

*BUG REPORT*
The Universal Movie Scraper has a bug when using IMDB as title provider.
When "Get Title From" is set to IMDB, the titles don't show in the library view. It works fine when it is set to: "themoviedb.org".
(I am using the "Aeon Nox: SiLVO" skin)
RE: Universal Movie Scraper - Hommer - 2023-07-10
*FEATURE REQUEST*
I would love to have the option to download movie poster in the original language.
Like with the movie titles (Preferred Title Language: Keep Original) it should give the option Preferred Poster Language: Keep Original.
RE: Universal Movie Scraper - R.O.H. - 2023-07-10
@Hommer: good idea. Especially without having to scan a new folder

I am seeing this issue as well. It has been happening for quite a bit now and I just finally had a chance to narrow down why movie titles were showing up blank in the library.
Log File with a movie scanned resulting in a blank title in the library.

If you are seeing this, then you are using an old version of the scraper. Update your scraper.

RE: Universal Movie Scraper - Hommer - 2023-07-13
I am using the newest version: Universal Movie Scraper v. 5.5.14.
It's odd. In Settings\Media\Videos all the titles are there:
It's only in the "Movies" preview, that the titles are missing, and all other info is there. I tried different skins:

I haven't seen @olympia since before Christmas, so not sure if he is still around to check the issue.
Maybe use TheMovieDatabase Python scraper?
Are you familiar with SQL databases? Can you check MyVideos.db>Movie table>Column C00 and see if movie titles are there?
RE: Universal Movie Scraper - Hommer - 2023-07-13
Hello, Karellen.
Thanks for your reply.
I can see in the database, that the titles are missing from C00. They are in C16 instead. When using TMDB Python scraper the titles are in both C00 and C16. I don't know what the difference is between these columns.
I like to use the Universal Movie Scraper, because it gets the plot outline from IMDB. In my Movies browser I like the short plot outline in the overview and then the longer plot description in the details view. TMDB Python scraper only gets the full plot in both views.

Here's the documentation for the Kodi database schema. C00 is what most things in Kodi use. C16 is used if a movie changes name and you can see the original name of the movie or if you want to rename a movie then c00 gets updated but c16 stays the same.
Thanks,
jeff
RE: Universal Movie Scraper - Hommer - 2023-07-13
Roger that. Thank you.
I guess the Universal Movie Scraper has a problem with updating the C00 field when getting titles from IMDB.
(The C16 field does get populated, and when getting titles from TMDB both C00 and C16 get populated)

And that is why you are having problems with the Universal Scraper, since c00 is required. I could probably look at the code and fix it but I thought the Universal Movie Scraper isn't being supported any longer ? The alternative is to write a simple SQL query to copy c16 to c00 in the movie table.
Thanks,
Jeff
RE: Universal Movie Scraper - Hommer - 2023-07-13
Thank you very much.
It would be great to have the Universal Scraper working again because the Python Scraper lacks some useful stuff from IMDB. E.g. getting original movie titles in latin alphabet, and getting both plot outline and full plot.

It's strange as this is the exact problem that was fixed in the last update. I guess IMDB have changed something again.
If you have a fix, that would be great.

This will be interesting since I don't use any of the Kodi scrapers. It will be a good learning opportunity
Can you point me to your latest code update ? I am guessing IMDB is using screens scraping vs. the API ? I may just look at a quick fix of whatever gets written to c16 also gets written to c0 when scraping from IMDB.Thanks,
Jeff
