RE: [Release] Universal Scraper - xynoe4 - 2013-01-24
Hi Olympia, great scrapper. It is working like a charm with standard naming conventions.
I was wondering if you could make it recognize and use something like this: moviename (imdbid)
IIRC the scrapper can query all sites for an IMDBID. Can you directly extract the IMDBID from the name and use it for lookup?
I think something like "somemoviename (ttxxxxxxx)" can be a more reliable/consistent naming scheme because almost all sites use/link imdbid as unique identifier and it doesn't depends on site/name/year/language which are often updated or different between every sites.
Thanks in advance.
RE: [Release] Universal Scraper - olympia - 2013-01-24
The scraper is not looking up the filename at all. XBMC core does this and pass over the search string (cleansed file name) to the scraper as an input.
You can look at here:
http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Advancedsettings.xml#.3Ccleanstrings.3E
...and clean everything from the filename before and after the imdb id.
...or just add and nfo file with the imdb id - much simplier and better.

Don't know if I wasn't clear enough or may be I don't understand you right. In both cases, sorry.
If I do what I understand you say, the scrapper will continue to do a search with:
http://api.themoviedb.org/3/search/movie?query=ttxxxxxxx
http://akas.imdb.com/find?q=ttxxxxxxx
In both cases it will return no results.
What I was asking for is to match an imdbid in the name passed by xbmc, the same way you match the year. If there is a match then we use only this imdbid to do a direct lookup of the movie:
http://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/ttxxxxxxx
(not sure how this is done directly with imdb)
http://imdbapi.org/?ids=ttxxxxxxx&type=json (imdbapi)
http://www.omdbapi.com/?i=ttxxxxxxx (omdbapi)
The CreateSearchUrl will be different in this case. That's why I don't know if it is even possible to make it work like that.

Thanks.

seems to be a problem as of today scraping the plot for movies, all i see is 'info unavailable', tried a few different movies scraping from both imdb and tmdb
RE: [Release] Universal Movie Scraper - olympia - 2013-01-30
Yeah, it appears scraping plot from IMDb is broken. I will look at this. However if you configure the scraper to scrape plot from TMDb it should work.

Hi guys,
I'm having this problem as well.
I'm also getting no Genre. It's just left blank.
Both Plot and Genre were working yesterday.
Cheers
Jake.
RE: [Release] Universal Movie Scraper - olympia - 2013-01-30
Hey jakehikki, do you think it will be fixed quicker if you +1 an already confirmed issue?
IMDb changed layout...
RE: [Release] Universal Movie Scraper - olympia - 2013-01-30
Fix submitted and should be auto-update soon. You will not receive notification since the fix has been done in the underlying scraper library which doesn't pop up notification on update.

Sorry, I was just adding that the Genre wasn't working as well. I didn't see that mentioned in the post I was quoting.
I'm sorry if it came across that I was impatient.

Re: [Release] Universal Movie Scraper - olympia - 2013-01-31
Cast and plot outline didn't work either...
RE: [Release] Universal Movie Scraper - bosel - 2013-02-01
Any way to do a rescan for missing info due to this only? It'd be a shame to have to delete the db (and re-download all fan art).
Re: [Release] Universal Movie Scraper - olympia - 2013-02-01
no way.
RE: [Release] Universal Movie Scraper - Mr.McGee - 2013-02-01
Can someone tell me if this scraper is having issues? I'm running Openelec 2.99.2 (3.0 RC 2) on a RPi and kept getting the error message last night that it could not connect to the server or something like that.
RE: [Release] Universal Movie Scraper - olympia - 2013-02-01
No, this scraper is not having issues.
RE: [Release] Universal Movie Scraper - hakanb - 2013-02-01
first of all ... great scraper.
but i miss the option to get the movie title from ofdb.de
i hope you can add it.
there are many movies in the imdb which haven't the german title in the akas.
example: Nikita
thx
