RE: [Release] Universal Scraper - olympia - 2012-07-25

No.


RE: [Release] Universal Scraper - tinybutstrong - 2012-07-30

Is there any way to get genres in other language? Ie. portuguese from TMBD or from IMDB international (imdb.pt .fr .es .it .de etc..)

Example: http://www.themoviedb.org/movie/62764-mirror-mirror?language=pt

I expected to see "Aventura Fantasia Drama Comédia Família...", but I got "Adventure / Comedy / Drama / Fantasy...".

I'm doing something wrong?

In scraper options, "Get Genres From" already is set to themoviedb.org.

Thanks

Well, if you look at most of the fields when selecting tmdb, you get another option showing up to select language.

When you select to grab genres from tmdb, then you don't see a language dropdown option to select from, so you shouldn't have expected to see genres on pt.

...anyway I will look into add this option.


RE: [Release] Universal Scraper - tinybutstrong - 2012-07-31

Well, checking my old movies in library when I was using the original TMDB scraper, the movies have the genres in Portuguese, so I assume that's a limitation of Universal Scraper?!


RE: [Release] Universal Scraper - olympia - 2012-07-31

Hmmm, did you actually read my post just above yours? There are an answers in there for both of your questions.


RE: [Release] Universal Scraper - olympia - 2012-07-31

Option for Genre Language selection has been added to version 1.3.0


RE: [Release] Universal Scraper - tinybutstrong - 2012-08-01

Perfect, working like a charm. Thank you for understand the limitation.


RE: [Release] Universal Scraper - knewknow - 2012-08-10

I installed Universal Scraper about a month ago (thanks, it's a great add-on) and it worked fine scraping more movies than stock and handling accents etc. that the stock app can't. Yesterday I reformatted the machine and during scrape I was missing about 10% of the thumbnails and movies with accents were being skipped over completely.

Eg. Amélie would be skipped because of the "é"

The ones with missing artwork are scraping the information properly from IMDB, but the thumbnail is not generating at all. When refreshing thumbnail it doesn't find any.

My settings are stock except I changed "use international titles" to "USA/International". This is the setting that I had it on when I scraped everything a month ago, and it picked up accents (Amélie) very well.

Any ideas?


RE: [Release] Universal Scraper - zeppy - 2012-08-10

Have you tried rescraping the single movie? Something similar also happened to me with a different movie (no accents), but once I rescraped the movie everything worked fine.


RE: [Release] Universal Scraper - tinybutstrong - 2012-08-14

Hey olympia found other problem. The scraper is not saving correct tagline, see this movie bellow:

http://www.themoviedb.org/movie/72570-the-vow?language=pt

Tagline field is not filled for EN lang, but has for PT. When you import pt info for this movie the scraper will catch the english tagline, or a blank field. I expected to see "Inspirado em história real.".

Simple to fix I think.

Thanks


RE: [Release] Universal Scraper - olympia - 2012-08-14

Maybe I will add this if you learn to distinguish between a problem (bug) and a functionality which simply doesn't exist (feature request).

...and it is not as quick as you think. It's quite a work.


RE: [Release] Universal Scraper - tinybutstrong - 2012-08-14

Hmm you are right, sorry for my confusion.

Found an interesting article about this subject. Time to learn and to improve my English as well.

Thank you again.


RE: [Release] Universal Scraper - Amelandbor - 2012-08-16

Nice addon. Coul you maybe add moviemeter for the plot?


RE: [Release] Universal Scraper - hadees - 2012-08-16

So is the RT rating stuff still broken? I really prefer the RT ratings to IMDB but I guess i'll have to wait till they fix their site.

I noticed I can enable posters, trailers, and whatnot from multiple sources. In what order are those taken if I enable multiple versions?

Also isn't trakt.tv just getting it's info from other sources, is there some benefit to getting info from them?


RE: [Release] Universal Scraper - zeppy - 2012-08-17

If you're interested, I've developed a mod for this wonderful scraper that provides better RT results through a google search. I can't certify it works 100% of the times, but in my case it's certainly got a higher precision in finding the correct RT page.
