RE: [Release] Universal Movie Scraper - wargo - 2013-10-11

ok, let's say I have 100 movies in the movies folder, 50 have been already scraped with universal scraper, if I want to scrap the other 50 using the moviedb how can I avoid to rescrap the entire library?


Re: [Release] Universal Movie Scraper - TRaSH - 2013-10-11

You can change it in universal movie scraper what it should use

ok but for the movies already scraped with imdb, is it going to change all the info?


RE: [Release] Universal Movie Scraper - wgstarks - 2013-10-11

I believe for what you want to do you will need to change the settings for the source and then for individual movies you can use the refresh button in the info window. Or if it's a batch of videos you can remove the video files from the source folder, clean the library and then replace the video files into the source and rescan. If you want to have different groups of videos scrapped with different settings you may want to just create a new source folder with the new settings you want to use for that particular group of videos.

does anyone have the same problem over the past few days? I don't want to change the IMDB rating


RE: [Release] Universal Movie Scraper - ventolin - 2013-10-20

Been having the problem today whereby the scraper fails to download poster or fanart for new movies. Seems other people are too: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=176144

Me again with same question: How to add a TMDB item without IMDB ID?

Item in question: here.

http://1.grn.cc/temp/2013-10-24_142203.png

Auto scan result:

Quote:14:15:15 T:2780 WARNING: No information found for item 'I:\Shows\.........ts', it won't be added to the library.

Manul search, only IMDB items are listed:

Debug log:

http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=74496

Tried to change the addon options -> search -> to themoviedb.org, got same result, "movie" not found.

Thanks.


Re: [Release] Universal Movie Scraper - olympia - 2013-10-25

I can't count the times it has been already explained in this thread that changing addon settings from the system menu doesn't have any impact on scrapers settings what are already assigned to a source. Change the settings on the source or the particular directory within this source.


RE: [Release] Universal Movie Scraper - tinybutstrong - 2013-10-26

ahhhhhh dear why I forgot that.

Anyway it is not working properly, returns error bellow:

Quote:20:51:00 T:5472 WARNING: XFILE::CCurlFile::CReadState::FillBuffer: curl failed with code 22
20:51:00 T:5472 ERROR: CCurlFile::CReadState::Open, didn't get any data from stream.
20:51:00 T:5472 ERROR: ADDON::CScraper::Run: Unable to parse web site

Then, the movie is added, but all fields are blank: title/poster/etc..

TMDB API is off just now? don't think so, I tested my api key and it is working fine.

Code:
http://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/139029?api_key=........&language=pt

RE: [Release] Universal Movie Scraper - HeresJohnny - 2013-10-26

I'm having a problem, where UMS set to themoviedb.org returns different (less) results than themoviedb.org. Specifically, I searched for the Despicable Me 2 Minion Mini Movies (say that 3 times fast), for example "Panic in the mailroom" http://www.themoviedb.org/movie/229405-panic-in-the-mailroom . UMS doesn't find it, only the main title, whereas themoviedb scraper gives me the main movie and the 3 shorts as choices.

Update: Oh yeah, I'm on latest nightlies, UMS 2.4.4


RE: [Release] Universal Movie Scraper - piodio - 2013-11-01

UMS is my default scraper all the time and the best scraper so far.

Here(http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=NFO_files/movies), it says trick about 'a mix of XML and URL'.
For example, when I want some movies have my own title I can try make NFO file like below:

Code:
<movie>
       <title>This is my own modified title</title>
</movie>
http://www.themoviedb.org/movie/xxx-this-is-title

The expected result is that scraper fetch all other fields except title field.
But with same NFO file, official TMDb scraper always successfully do this but UMS do not always in my side.
I can't figure out at which case UMS failed. I am collecting some failed cases and trying figure out.

So, anyway, just a question during my try and error:
Anybody can confirm that UMS supports 'mixing of XML and URL' method?

Thank you Olympia,
cheers,


RE: [Release] Universal Movie Scraper - wgstarks - 2013-11-01

Yes. Mixing is supported. Your sample NFO file looks almost like mine. The only difference I see is that I end my url with the code number.
Code:
http://www.themoviedb.org/movie/10195

I honestly don't know if this matters or not but you might test it without the movie title at the end of the url.


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

Thank you wgstarks for reply.

I tried the movie for example,'NausicaƤ of the Valley of the Wind (1984)' as two type of URLs:

Code:
http://www.themoviedb.org/movie/81-kaze-no-tani-no-naushika
http://www.themoviedb.org/movie/81

But it failed to fetch metadata on both case.
So I tried IMDb URL instead of THDb's then UMS worked perfectly.

Code:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087544/

I don't why this happen but scraping goes right way that I want now.

Thank you again for your time, wgstarks.


RE: [Release] Universal Movie Scraper - MeC!as - 2013-11-11

Hi olympia,

I am not sure if that was already asked before and I just haven't seen it.

At the moment the UMS supports collections on the movie database. Is it possible to add additional the list feature into your scraper, that would be great. This feature allows the user to create his own lists on the movie database and if UMS would support that you can get this lists displayed in XBMC. So everyone could create their own collections/lists of movies and is not limited to tmdb collections they are just reflecting sequels of movies.

What I am not sure about is if just the scraper is necessary to support this feature or if the core has to support that as well?

Sorry If it was asked before.
