+----- Thread: [RELEASE] Movieplayer.it scraper for Movies new version (Italian) (/showthread.php?tid=60585)
- henrava - 2011-07-31
More tests.
From a folder with 10 movies from '50, all the titles are retrieved automagically.
Imdb top 250 ok
Tagline wrong (it shows the plot)
Writer missing
The plot is truncated, because the info is retrieved from the main page.
I think the scraper should retrieve plot info from the page http://www.imdb.it/title/ttnumber/plotsummary and not from http://www.imdb.it/title/ttnumber

Tnx henrava for your tests, the plot you see is from comingsoon.it ,I just wanted to see how it would work
All the tagline, outline and plot still need some work to be fixed.
@gulp film.it seem to me it doesn't find much movies as comingsoon, so i think i'll keep it for now
- henrava - 2011-08-01
KoTiX, i just have checked the imdb.it site, the plot is from here, not from comingsoon. The movie is "A qualcuno piace caldo" (Some like it hot).
Tomorrow i have to check a folder with more recent movies, to be sure the plot is retrieved correctly.
Bye and thanks.

Here is an update: http://www.mediafire.com/?b7qrpgt3sc9nn26
Now it get the right iMDb poster, the comingsoon poster and trailer, the poster is first taken from imdb, if it is missing can be taken from comingsoon, just check the settings.
There are still some bugs but should be good enought for now
Disappointed - fabwolf - 2011-08-06
I am a bit disappointed to read that my favorite scraper (movieplayer) is dead. I dont find all the other movie sites mentioned here are equally good. Mymovies (which already has a scraper) and Comingsoon have both very long plots and often they also reveal too much about the movie, partly ruining their vision.
I really thank the developers for their work so far but I also hope they change their mind about quitting the movieplayer database, which is the main thing which made me prefer this scraper over all the rest.

fabwolf,
if you want to use Movieplayer scraper this version is fully functional:
http://www.mediafire.com/?tnu91y75nrn382b
and i don't think that this scraper is dead, now is also very easy to adapt in case of other changes on movieplayer site.
KoTiX, is possible to submit this functional version to official repo (or if you prefer can i open a ticket and submit the new version), or is better to create a new thread and create another version of movieplayer scraper?
If we can submit this version, is better to remove conditional imdb on regexp and in preferences (i can do it, i've a lot of free time, i'm at home with a broken arm
).For a new italian scraper, i think that film.it has very good plot description (short and without spoiler) and so is better than comingsoon and mymovies.

again...

MP site is back so... updated MoviePlayer scraper
(mainly a cosmetics update, more comments and moved some function to retrieve TMDB fanart and poster)
http://www.mediafire.com/?1xdtbdpkekotcfh
if this is working for you too, i'll send it to xbmc developer for an official update (thanx KoTiX for direction to submit this to official dev team), so give me some feedback
- gulp - 2011-08-07
updated again, now we use only imdb.com (without need to scrape also imdb.it to take the original title)
Download it from official git repository ( now i'm kotix collaborator
so the git repo contains always the most recent version)https://github.com/KoTiX/movieplayer_film/zipball/master
if tests are ok for you too, i'll submit it to official xbmc repo.
Nice - fabwolf - 2011-08-10
I will give it a run of test asap and report the feedback here.
thank you very much

I have tested about 20 movies so far and the scraper looks like it's very good.
The only problem I have found so far: some movies keep the string IMDB before the original title, it happens for the movie "Tropa de Elite", "300" and "Nato il 4 luglio" for example, but I have seen it in other titles too. It seems a solid release to me.

Thanks. I am trying the new version and the iMDB string problem is not there anymore, but now it doesnt get the IMDB rating anymore (dunno if it's related to that or something happened to the imdb website code) and in some cases it doesnt get the genres too

yes but is a problem of official imdb scraper (we use a function of official imdb metadata scraper to retrieve rating).
The imdb site has changed rating code, we have to wait that official dev team fix the imdb scraper.

Ok thanks for the reply. I have also noticed that the year isn't retrieved in some cases. Let's wait for the official imdbfix
