@Mister XY Just use another scraper. As mentioned previously, it scrapes perfectly fine in German with the other scrapers.
RE: Universal Movie Scraper - olympia - 2020-11-03
Just tested and UMS uses imdb id to match movies on tmdb even if tmdb is used for search engine. This is by design to support both imdb and tmdb.
The problem is again that for some reason tmdb cannot find this particular movie by its imdb id.
RE: Universal Movie Scraper - truthlesshero - 2020-11-10
anyone else have rotten tomatoes not being pulled for the last few weeks? Is there another add-on that pulls rotten tomato ratings?

Could it be dut to the fact that tt1329665 is a series' episode and not a movie in IMDB?
RE: Universal Movie Scraper - Desperados - 2020-11-22
Hi! I've been reading this thread for an hour now trying to find the best settings for this addon..
I had some problems with scraping artwork from time to time and changing the search engine from IMDb to TMDb seemed to be the solution! My movies were missing the TMDb ID but now they are available in the metadata
So a lot of my settings are set to IMDb, I guess because I use that site a lot, but now I'm wondering if it's better to use TMDb for some? Can someone tell me the pros and cons of both? I already read for foreign titles TMDb is the way to go, but for everything else I don't know?
RE: Universal Movie Scraper - Karellen - 2020-11-22
@Desperados
IMDB is not known for great artwork. There is no quality control and the artwork comes in all sorts of shapes and sizes. Good artwork comes from TheMovieDB and fanart.tv
IMDB is English only, so there are no alternate translations.
IMDB has no details of Movie Collections, instead using Connections that are sometimes not accurate for the scraping process.
IMDB has no API and is not designed for scraping.
Some users prefer plots, tags, genres, studio, directors and overview from IMDB, but apart from those, the rest of the info should come from TheMovieDB which has been designed for scraping.

Do you know if it's possible to do a re-scrape for my library with these new settings?

To rescrape a whole Source, change the Content to None, Yes to remove all items,, then change back to Movies and let it rescrape.
RE: Universal Movie Scraper - Karellen - 2020-11-25
NOTICE:
We are aware the update to the scraper yesterday did not resolve the issue. We consider the scraper still broken.
Once again TheMovieDB have made changes which are difficult to accommodate in the XML based scrapers. This affects both The Movie Database scraper and Universal Movie Scraper.
To continue scraping please switch over to the new Python based scraper... Add-on:The_Movie_Database_Python (wiki)
A current known issue with this scraper is that posters are scraped in English and this still needs to be fixed. If you use another language, download the correct poster manually.

Found out every library item was missing TMDb ID which was causing the issue.. Damn I'll switch it back then lol!
RE: Universal Movie Scraper - Segfault - 2020-12-07
I switched to IMDb and I like it. I have lots of classic movies and IMDb has ratings for all of them, while TMDb has only few voters, sometimes none. However, I cannot figure out how to get it working for "shorts". Scraper behaves like there was no entry in IMDb, but there is. Like this one - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0029665/ - I cannot get this scraped. Any help is appreciated.

RE: Universal Movie Scraper - Segfault - 2020-12-07
Thanks ... I must be missing something obvious here, cannot locate this Search tab ... I go Change Content on directory, then I get Set Content tab, I surf around there into all submenus, cannot see this Include All Movie Categories anywhere ...
