Scraping from IMDB
#1
Do we still have a possibility to scrape movies that are only listed at IMDB ? I have a few movies that are only listed there and I don't have enough informations and time to create their TMDB entries.

I tried the Universal Movie Scraper but it can only take the title from TheMovieDb : https://i.imgur.com/sFkFE2i.png .

By the way, while looking for the available scrapers, I have seen a typo in the description of the TVDB movies scraper, at least in French : https://i.imgur.com/xXb5OWh.png ; I don't know if the error is also present in other languages.

Try using a Parsing nfo file to point directly to the entry at IMDB... https://kodi.wiki/view/NFO_files/Parsing

I have checked with one file.
Unfortunately, it extract the IMDB Id from the IMDB address and try to scrape from TMDB. Debug log here : https://paste.kodi.tv/ujetevocom.kodi (lines 1231 to 1246)

Later this week, I will try to reuse Media Companion to try to get again a complete metadata NFO for them, even if my main goal was to completely remove it from my setup.

Hmm, interesting. It still tries to use TMDB instead of directly linking to the IMDB page.
There were some fixes a few weeks ago, and the IMDB search engine was removed. I guess this is a consequence of that change.
Maybe @olympia might be able to check.

I have done it this way for the moment.
Media Companion is still able to get data from IMDB.
