It's monitored, but my time is limited, that being said I can't deal with everything.

I would think that would be the easiest way. Let me know if this work out. In case it is I might implement a scraper option for this.

Sure, but I'm talking about picking the correct title, not the search. It picks the correct movie.

If from someone, then it's you (who know very well the scraper insights) from whom I don't expect such a reasoning.

The Universal Scraper use 100% the same function for title parsing what the old IMDb scraper used. So if it worked before and is not working now, than it's due to some changes on IMDb side as well.

If you look at http://akas.imdb.com/title/tt0157366/releaseinfo#akas then you see there is no indication at all about what US or International title. How the hell the scraper should know which one is that.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1330525/releaseinfo#akas is a bit better, but also silly...

True, agree on the first one. Maybe I remember incorrectly and typed it manually the previous time. But the second though clearly says international english title. Would be nice to have that one

Parsing AKA titles from IMDb is a nightmare due to the too many variants. I spent a week back then to stabilize it into the stage where it is today. I am not touching that part of the code unless there are at least 5 other titles which fail to scrape due to the same issue Smile


RE: [Release] Universal Scraper - TRaSH - 2013-01-05

when i use this scraper can i remove the plugin of tmdb ?
or is it still needed ?
Universal scraper has the best options of all because you can choose where it should get the info from.
being that english isn't my main language and we want the media info in our own language i works great.


RE: [Release] Universal Scraper - olympia - 2013-01-05

No, you can't, TMDb is a default XBMC addon.


RE: [Release] Universal Scraper - TRaSH - 2013-01-05

okay thnx,
i've been updating a few movies with this scraper because the info was uncomplete,
told it to do refrsh and ignore local info,
but i noticed that it doesn't scrape the year if the movie anymore.
and the old .nfo had the year in it.
is this a setting error ?


RE: [Release] Universal Scraper - francovilar - 2013-01-07

I'm not getting the year with latest version of the scraper, it's just me? if this is not a general bug I will post a debug log. I'm using themoviedb for search and most fields.


RE: [Release] Universal Scraper - olympia - 2013-01-07

hmmm... the guy just in the post before yours mentioned this... :p
...anyway he missed the info that this happens in case of TMDb search.

Fixed in v2.1.6


[Release] Universal Scraper - francovilar - 2013-01-07

....sorry. Missed that. Thank you


RE: [Release] Universal Scraper - TRaSH - 2013-01-08

Thnx for the info i will give it a test when i can find some time.



RE: [Release] Universal Scraper - ralves58 - 2013-01-08

How can I force the Universal Movie Information scraper to get all metadata (for a unique movie) from a specific IMDB/TMDB link?...

For example: from link http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093832/ ... or link http://www.themoviedb.org/movie/13926-red-s-dream .

I try to create a movie.nfo file, and even a movie-filename.nfo in the same directory of the original movie file (with the links above as the file content), then I remove movie from library, then I command "update library"... but it doesn't work. All metadata I get are all wrong again... Universal scraper don't even hit the correct movie title.

Refresh doesn't work either, even if I enter the movie name manually, the scraper suggests a dozen options, all of them wrong.

Do you guys have some tip on how can I force the Universal scraper to use a specific link for the movie ?...

note: I'm using XBMC 12 (frodo) rc3, with Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.

Well, NOW the movie-filename.nfo file is working... Go figure...


Re: [Release] Universal Scraper - TRaSH - 2013-01-08

Just curious how do you've the folder named with the movie ?
Did you add the year ?

Universal Scraper does not recognize TMDb links in nfo, but it works with IMDb link.
Above example also work for me. Debug log would help to support you.


RE: [Release] Universal Scraper - kwoodkicker - 2013-01-13

I have been running into an issue today and not sure if it is scraper related or not. When scraping my collection, I get "Unable to Connect to Remote Server" errors. Has anybody else been getting these? Any idea how to fix this?
