Sorry for the delay of the screenshots but i'm working on some issues so i can use the scraper without using an own webserver.

And because of some family issues i didn't have time to post some screenshots of the first tests.

OK Thanks The_Ghost16 no hurry and family issues are much more important.

But maybe you can confirm or not if it's possible the use the Moviemeter scraper out of the box. For example is it working in the lastest svn builds with Camelot 9.11 or can it be made as an plugin because that's a little unclear to me?
Thanks in advance.

I have tested it with 9.04 stable version and last week i upgraded to 9.11 stable and on both configurations it worked.

The only thing i did was placing an XML file in the scraper folder together with the corresponding image and it's ready to use. Just configure your movie folder to use 'MovieMeter' and it starts scraping.

Here by the screenshots of the status for now.

The following things are the things i will work on next:
- Add studio.
- Add actors.
- Add fanart.

If you think you want to use it mail or PM me and i will send you the scraper.
To find the correct movies i use the structure of Title (Year)

That's very nice The_Ghost16, very nice indeed and i would love to use it.
I'm now using Yanfoe because it has an Moviemeter scraper but still i would love to have it all inside XBMC.

Also nice to hear you're adding studios, actors and fanart. Which sites will you use for the fanart scraping?

And thanks in advance.

I hope this scrapers does what you are looking for.

Yesterday evening i added some extra features.
- Studio is now added. I get it from IMDB.
- Cast is added. Also this one comes from IMDB because they give the real actors name and the name of the role they are playing. And moviemeter only provides the name of the actors. But i'm thinking of making this configurable.
- Fixed some bugs with quotes.

Fanart is my next thing to do. And i don't now yet from which site i will get it.
Also NFO support will be added as soon as possible.

If there are other things you would like to see. Please post it here or contact me by e-mail or PM.

Thanks Sander,

i did receive your files and i'm testing it as we speak. Sander the .xml file you sent me is it also including the extra features as studio and cast?

Sander what do you mean by NFO will be added? Does that mean writing an new NFO or reading an new NFO because on my test drive i'm having already NFO files. And after updating the libary i only had 3 movies left out of the 254 ;-) so i'll delete my libary and update again (with Moviemeter as default) and see what happens.

Thanks Sander for your patience and hard work.


- The_Ghost16 - 2010-01-19 16:51

Yes its' also with the extra features (studio and cast).

If there is an NFO with the movie xbmc does something with the scrapers which i have to find out how it works because i never use that. And as far as i know the scraper does nothing when there is an NFO file with the movie. But i'm not sure about that.

Hi The_Ghost16. I'm using the scraper with the php files, but once you've got fanart working i'm willing to switch to yours, but could you make it possible to scrape the rating from imdb instead of moviemeter?

That's nice to hear Smile

I hope to get fanart and trailers working tonight. But i don't now if it all goes that easy.

And about the rating. I thought of that too. But i think i'm going to make it a setting in the scraper. Just as the cast. So you can choose for yourself what you want to use.
