XBMC does not retrive whole information from scraper - peleda - 2010-10-12

It started something like a month ago, when I retrieve movie information, I get it's thumb and movie summery, but all other information is missing, movie title, year, genre, director, writer, etc.
Instead I get "info unavailable" where the details above should appear.

First, I thought there is something wrong with my database so I removed it and try to work with a new one, still no change.

Using "SQLite Database Browser" I manually alter these fields for one movie and the information I entered did appeared properly.

That lead me to the conclusion there most be something wrong with the data retrieve process from the scraper.

I also tried to change the scraper from iMDB for another ans still got the same results.

Any ideas ?

Will be happy to provide all needed information if you can guide me how.
I didn't realize I can update only my scrapper ( forgive me for my ignorance), the solution given in the replay above does not valid in my case.

Does anyone can lead me to where can I download the latest scraper and how to install it on my ubuntu ?

It's valid for your case.
Read the thread, understand and you will be find the solution.

Well, since you're using Camelot, probably this is a better thread to read, but search almost always helps

So here it goes, I just downloaded and saved the scraper ( imdb.xml ) into my /usr/share/xbmc/system/scrapers/video folder and gave it the right permission ( chmod 644 imdb.xml ) and things got back working.
