Universal Movie Scraper is no longer using themoviedb - Norsak - 2014-04-14
Hi,
I only have one XBMCbuntu running Gotham right now, so I can't test and compare.
But as far as I "remember":
The Universal Movie Scraper would use both IMDB and themoviedb when scanning a directory.
My current installation has the latest version of the plugin 2.5.2, and it definitely only uses IMDB, and does not default to themoviedb when IMDB offers no match.
I have several Video files which are tagged with an .nfo file that references themoviedb
Code:
<movie>
<title>Inception The Cobol Job</title>
</movie>
http://www.themoviedb.org/movie/64956- If I use Universal Movie Scraper to scan the directory, I get nothing (screen shot as thumb, no info)
- If I use themoviedb plugin to scan, I get the correct thumb and info...
As I said: I don't remember this being a problem in the past.
Is this a new bug? Is there a setting in the Universal Movie Scraper that I am missing?

Bump
Anyone?
There are videos which are indexed better on themoviedb.com vs IMDB.com
Mainly this applies to stand-up comedy DVDs and more obscure movies.
Presently my Universal Movie Scraper is behaving as if it were an IMDB scraper.
Even with a .nfo file such as above, it will not find anything beyond what IMDB.com has.
The only workaround I currently have is to move all movies which are affected to a new folder, and make the themoviedb plugin the scrapper for that new folder.
This is not ideal, it starts to mess with my Movie sets:
If I allow either scrapper to automatically create sets it's a disaster. Every third rate sequel to a real movie apparently warrants a "set" (8mm 2 ???)
The Universal Movie Scraper allows me to disable the auto-set-creation function, so that I can control sets with .nfo files. But the themoviedb plugin does not have this toggle.
So even my work around is problematic
