Problem with filmaffinity scrapper. - itombs - 2009-06-20
Hi, today Im having some problems scrapping films.
I use the last version of filmaffinity scrapper downloaded from here:
https://xbmc.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/xbmc/branches/linuxport/XBMC/system/scrapers/video/
The problem is with the actors, now it doesnt work really fine, in some movies, the actor list is incomplete, for example:
The Doors
http://www.filmaffinity.com/es/film245613.html
Scrapper doesnt show Meg Ryan.
A Perfect Murder
http://www.filmaffinity.com/es/film871970.html
Scrapper doesnt show Michael Douglas
Death Race
http://www.filmaffinity.com/es/film127500.html
Scrapper doesnt show various actors
etc etc
I know that before, the scraper worked perfectly with actors but now doesnt work fine.
This problem is only mine or its necessary a modification for the scrapper??
Someone could try to scrap those movies and write the result here?
Thanks a lot.
Bye byE

Problem seems to be the multiplies results from IMDB when filmaffinity scrapper search an actor in IMDB.
When name only have a result (there is only an actor with this name), filmaffinity scrapper works well but, when IMDB return 2 or more results searching the name, filmaffinity scrapper are not prepared to select one and miss this actor.
A temporaly solution could be desactivate the option to download actors thumbnails from IMDB.
A trully solution could be search the title of the film in IMDB and download all actors information from IMDB (more complete than filmaffinity info).
