IMDB scraper stopped updating the "Year" field - Spider_mp3 - 2010-03-17 17:00
Since last week, the IMDB scraper stopped updating the "Year" field when scanning for new content. All other movie info is being fetched correctly, just the "Year" fields are left empty. I have tried it out on two different computers, one running Windows XP SP3, the oher running Windows 7 Ultimate x64, with the same result. Both machines are running XBMC 9.11 R26017.
I'm wondering if IMDB changed their site, and the scraper is not working anymore?

imdb changed their site, and the scraper has been updated some 2 months ago to reflect this fact. obviously not updated in the 9.11 release.

It seems to me that the problem started only a couple of weeks ago.
But if you are correct, the answer would be to install a more recent svn, if so which version is the most stable since 9.11 ?
thanks

latest nightly have it. i have no idea nor any interest in which of them are the most stable - try it and see if it works for you. it's built from a codebase in constant development, so it may be a bit hairy.

Is there a way I can update the scraper without having to replace my XBMC install with an SVN build or is it out of the question?

Just an XML, Phew! - forcedalias - 2010-03-21 12:46
Thankfully, the scrapers aren't hard coded. They're just XML files.

Unpack the file above into your XBMC install directory overwriting the existing imdb.xml

Does the same applies to "Tag Line" ?
I keep getting blank tag lines in movie information, even after refreshing.
TMDB gets it, but I prefer IMDB because of their rating/scoring-system
