I have a query.... Many times after updating my IMDb ratings I end up with multiple titles having the same top 250 number. I can understand if one movie is scraped at #122 then later another movie is scraped and now it is #122 but shouldn't running this add-on fix these anomalies?

so you mean if you run this addon in Top250 mode, two movies will have the same Top250 number?

Occasionally, yes. I'm not able to check at the moment but I know in the past there's been 2-3 instances of 2 movies with the same number after running the update. I will check again and post any anomalies.

Just ran the update and this time there are no duplicate numbers, which is good. Although many of the movies and their rankings are just completely wacko but that's a topic for someplace else.

Any update on the missing commas problem?

I am running Android Kit Kat 4.4.3 on Amazon Kindle Fire 8.9 HDX, and trying to install 0.8.3. I am getting the message, "add on does not have the correct file structure". Does anyone know why this is happening?

Thanks for the update. The separator appears to be working as intended.

@Jandalf

Thank you for your hard work on this add-on. Would it be possible to add support for IMDB Top 250 TV shows as well?

Thanks

this is not so easy, because Kodi does not store the IMDb id of the TV shows, so I would need to match them by name, which is quite tricky. The whole TV show rating thing is on my list, but I need some free time for it...

Excuse the newbie question, but what's the difference between the data here and the data held by the scrapers? I'm guessing the scraped data is only as up to date as the last time it was scraped (which could be many months ago)?

Thanks

yes thats exactly the problem. the data is the same, the scrapers only get the data on first import.
