Thanks for the log jackfifield. It was fundamental in order for me to run tests and contrast them with other logs. Please read the conclusions here. Olympia is assessing what/if anything can be done.
Not sure how this issue could be addressed. TMDb id can't be used to look up movies on other sites. I.e. the scraper would run into error if TMDb search/ TMDb id would be used/fetched, but other sites were selected as sources for different fields, e.g. traktv, rotten tomatoes, IMDb, etc.

Would there be a way of making it so it just falls back to only using TMDb information if it can't find the movie on IMDB? Because, TMDb information being downloaded would be better than none at all
RE: [Release] Universal Movie Scraper - olympia - 2013-11-16
Not sure; I would need to have a deeper look, but if it was, then surely only with unreasonable development efforts.
However, I think it doesn't take a lot of time and effort to switch to the TMDb scraper for those few movies, does it?
RE: [Release] Universal Movie Scraper - jackfifield - 2013-11-16
I suppose, it's just the average-user wouldn't understand why the scraper was failing, and then would be unable to scan these movies and would probably just give up. Plus, if you wanted to rescan your whole library then it would be annoying to switch between the two scrapers. Also, TMDb Scraper doesn't have some features that UMS does has (e.g. Rating prefix) meaning that you may not still have the full info that you want displayed in XBMC. Would there be no way to make it so that if an IMDB ID is not found, it just uses TMDB info?
Sorry if I come off as arrogant, I don't really know anything about programming, I'm still in school :3
RE: [Release] Universal Movie Scraper - wgstarks - 2013-11-17
Why not just add a source that uses the TMDB scrapper?
RE: [Release] Universal Movie Scraper - capfuturo - 2013-11-17
Hi Jackfifield,
I second olympia and wgstarks's suggestion; it is the answer and the way to go. Many times in life you will see the solution to a problem is not going to be delivered by only one tool but by a combination of them. Therefore, unless a viable solution is implemented, every time you have movies that fall into the category we've been discussing here, just dump them into that source and they will be scraped by TMDB.
Please keep visiting the forum and giving good feedback. It makes us all better at what we do.
RE: [Release] Universal Movie Scraper - jackfifield - 2013-11-17
Ah, OK, thanks
I seriously did not think of just creating a "TMDB" directory, so I will do that.Thanks guys
RE: [Release] Universal Movie Scraper - sephyuyx - 2013-11-19
Is there a way to stop UMS from renaming all of my files?
I have all of my movies in a "Title (Date)" format, including "The" in front of some, and some altered like instead of "A Good Day to Die Hard" I have "Die Hard V - A Good Day to Die Hard". I also have several Asian movies and their all being changed to their asian names.
I've tried changing multipule settings, and have been getting mixed results. Changing the title to use usa/international fixes some asian movies, but still renames others. And no matter what I do UMS always removes "The", and changes titles to what it thinks is the actual name.
Is there a way to accomplish this, or is there a different add on that has similiar functionality but leaves out the renaming aspect?
Thanks.
RE: [Release] Universal Movie Scraper - olympia - 2013-11-19
UMS does NOT renaming any of your files!!! It scrapes the title from the online source you configured in scraper setings!
RE: [Release] Universal Movie Scraper - sephyuyx - 2013-11-19
Well, I understand it's not renaming my actual files, just within XBMC.. but is there a way to stop that from happening? I dont see any options to turn that off, just which source to scrape from.
RE: [Release] Universal Movie Scraper - wgstarks - 2013-11-19
If you want to use custom titles you can create NFO files containing the title and also a url to scrape the rest of the info from. http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=NFO_files. You can also manually enter a custom title from the contextual menu. I imagine this isn't what you wanted to hear but I don't believe UMS has the option to use file names as titles.

Request: scrape IMDB keywords
Reason: better, more accurate and interesting playlists smart playlists. (netflix style playlists/suggestions!)

The scrapers are addons and dependent on XBMC. I.e. the scraper can only scrape what XBMC supports. I.e this would be a feature request to XBMC, then the scraper(s) could follow once implemented.

I apologise, I thought "tags" in the smart playlist rules was meant for keywords. When I select browse it displays no results so i just assumed the scraper had the ability to scrape IMDB Keywords for this rule but it does not so I requested it. no worries, but do you know what "tags" is meant for?
RE: [Release] Universal Movie Scraper - Martijn - 2013-11-24
tags are things you set yourself. they should not be scraped by default by any scraper IMO
