RE: [Release] Universal Movie Scraper - Voyager - 2013-02-10

Hi Olympia.

I have noticed that contrary to the (now broken) IMDB scraper, the Universal scraper does not bring back matches of the following types: These items are ripped as ISOs and in my movie library.

Note, for the type, it's important to look at the 'suffix' on the http://akas.imdb.com/find?q=... search page, in order to know what string gets matched in the regex. It is sometimes different from what you see on the detail page for the item...

In order to fix the issue, I updated the regular expression on line 55 in universal.xml as follows:

Code:
    <expression repeat="yes" noclean="1,2">&lt;td\sclass=&quot;result_text&quot;&gt;\s&lt;a\shref=&quot;/title/([t0-9]*)/[^&gt;]*&gt;(?:&amp;#x22;)?([^&lt;]*?)(?:&amp;#x22;)?&lt;/a&gt;\s*(?:\([IV]+\) )?\([^\(]*?([0-9]{4})[^\)]*\)\s(?:\(TV Movie\)\s|\(TV Special\)\s|\(TV Series\)\s|\(TV Mini-Series\)\s|\(TV Short\)\s|\(TV Episode\)\s|\(Video\)\s|\(Short\)\s)?&lt;</expression>

Any chance this gets updated in a future version?

This is what I manually edit the scraper to do on each update. I really dislike the spoiler filled full-length IMDb plots.

Thanks for the continued great work on this scraper Universal. I know you get lot of moaning on this thread, but just to let you know that your work, and the rest of Team XBMC, is really appreciated.

Added at v2.3.0

Many thx for the possibility to set taglines to none in newest version, i guess i'll have to move to Frodo within the next weeks as my beloved Universal Scraper will not be the only addon which will be supported very slow for Eden versions from now on Wink

Eden has just synced with Frodo

I have tried to add the add-on and it seems the install is not in the repository

here is my logfile.
http://pastebin.com/KrGGSiwY

when I go to my browser and type the link: http://mirrors.xbmc.org/addons/frodo/metadata.universal/metadata.universal-2.2.0.zip it returns it not found. I updated to the latest install today of Frodo - not sure if this is the problem. I am an admin on the computer so it can't be permissions

I searched this thread but I apologize if this has been solved. This is my first attempt at this stuff.


RE: [Release] Universal Movie Scraper - mortstar - 2013-02-11

Thanks for adding the IMDb Outline as plot option. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work quite right. I'm guessing because the common.imdb functions are hardcoded to respond with <details><outline> or <details><plot> - it also seems to run IMDbPlot even though my settings are:

Outline - RT Critic's
Plot - IMDb Outline

I think this is because the expression is not exclusive so the scraper does find 'IMDb' in the option 'IMDb Outline' - so the full plot gets returned as well. Here's a debug log http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=34710


RE: [Release] Universal Movie Scraper - olympia - 2013-02-11

errr, that was me being stupid and your are right in both of your observations.
Implemented properly in v2.3.1.

I had the same issue yesterday, must have been something wrong with the server, because today I managed to download and install Universal Scraper.


RE: [Release] Universal Movie Scraper - olympia - 2013-02-11

Unfortunatelly you will always be facing with this situation when you have a brand new installation and in case add-ons have been updated, but the mirrors didn't fully sync yet.


RE: [Release] Universal Movie Scraper - gulp - 2013-02-11

Hi, is in your plan to release a metadata.common for Universal Scraper?

I used metadata.common.imdb.com (now broken) to scrape some info from IMDB within metadata.movieplayer.it scraper, but now i can't access IMDB data Sad

I've tried to make an interface to add movieplayer.it to Universal Scraper, but my skills are not enough Sad


RE: [Release] Universal Movie Scraper - olympia - 2013-02-11

metadata.common.imdb.com is not broken. Universal Scraper uses exactly this library to scrape data from IMDb as well.

No chance

thanks for the answer. Could you elaborate on why not?


RE: [Release] Universal Movie Scraper - olympia - 2013-02-11

Because it mess up the search results like hell. If I wanted to have them in, then I would've had to create that fuzzy regexp to exclude them. The recent inclusion of shorts is actually also have a bad impact on the search accuracy. Thinking about remove it again.


RE: [Release] Universal Movie Scraper - Voyager - 2013-02-11

ok, I understand. Is there any way to make this optional? I.e. turn it off by default for initial scraping, then allow the user to turn it on, so that the remaining stuff (like the ones from the examples, the shorts etc.) can also be scraped in a second round when they were missed or incorrectly matched first time ?
