[RELEASE] - Rating Update v1.4.3

Code:

v 1.0.3:

- Fix bug that was adding +1 to the real position taking from Top250

- Remove fanart image (I don't like anymore)

- Summary result and log information improved

Code:

- Changed IMDb Api, now using imdbphp class (although it'is a little slower but ...) to retrieve only the actual ratings and top250 without additional data

  If anyone knows a good free hosting service, or wants to host the php files (warning: possible increase of traffic), please contact me on the XBMC forum, currently the php class reside on a web space that isn't mine and I can't use it for a long time

- Improved get_html_source function for rating scraping (now don't stop the process if the api site is unreachable but it will try 5 time then will continue)

- Fix double log (adding & updated)

- Added the ability to place a button on DialogVideoInfo.xml to retrieve the rating of a single movie

  This is the Run for the skinner: <onclick>RunScript(script.ratingupdate,Single=True)</onclick>

v 1.0.5:

- Fix again bug that now was adding -1 to the real position taking from Top250

Code:

Linux Ubuntu Users:

- Install php5-cgi "sudo apt-get install php5-cgi"

- For other distribution check the name of package (could be different) and install it

- Check the correct path (/usr/bin/ by default) in the settings add-on



Windows Users:

- Download php-cgi from http://windows.php.net/download/ choose the last "VC9 x86 Non Thread Safe" zip package

- Unzip in C:\php5\ or wherever you like

- Update the correct path in the settings add-on (use backslahes for example c:/php5/)

Code:

v 1.1.0:

- Changed the method of scraping. IMDbPHP now is run in a local system to prevent the ban of the server IP address by the IMDb staff.

  See README file to how to install php-cgi binary.

- Added the ability to scrape ratings of TV Shows (no single episodes, to many differences with thetvdb.com).

  The first launch could ask you to choose the correct TV Show from a list then the IMDb ID will be written in the database.

- Changed order of questions: 1. Top250 - 2. Movies - 3. TV Shows

- Fix possible freeze when scraping a single movie. Show result using notifications instead of dialog.ok (I hope)

- Added setting to disable single procedure, confirmation and to hide the progress dialog.

- Added setting to delete IMDb id from TV Shows so you can rescrape and choose another title if the first one chosen was wrong.
