Good to know for future reference. Thanks.
Looks like their site back up now; bet Ember works again too.

Nope, I still get "No Fanart found for this movie". Using v1.2 rev 2422 with rogue's scraper.

I've made another fake movie that I don't have in library and all went right. I use v2411, so it basically works fine with some movie exceptions that I can't still point out which is the problem, maybe if people provide more detailed info instead of just "it doesn't work".
I noticed that for "Walk.Hard.The.Dewey.Cox.Story" EMM-r doesn't get anything from TMDB in reality, not even poster, they are retrieved from IMPa & MPDB.

I was able to use themoviedb a little while ago with no problems. But now Ember has stopped scraping from there once again. Looks like they are still having problems...

Thanks
I, too, am having this same issue with revision 2420. No matter what I try, Ember will just not create a folder.jpg for any of my movies.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Just tried 8 x new movies. Using EMM-R 2397 + rogue.
All of them scraped large posters + fanart.
- kizer - 2011-04-22
Looks like they enabled the API and I as well was able to download everything.

Any possibility for FTP-support in a future release?
Currently using SMB, as my server is on the local network - but not for long...
- Boon_nz - 2011-04-23
I just scraped all my movies for the first time and the majority worked perfectly by a few won't download fanart (just like the problem with the dewey cox story).
Some examples of movies with problems are:
- The social network
- Red
- Dogma
- Empire Records
- Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
All other info is correct (poster + nfo) and there is definitely fanart (backdrops) on themoviedb.org but EMM won't find it. I am using v1.2 r2411.

Can I just run this past someone?
I have found (going through the few Blu Ray rips I have) three codecs that were missing icons, they were:
"v_mpeg2"
"a_truehd"
"microsoft"
I have got them working, but is it okay to add to SVN and am I right in saying I need to add them to two directories:
EMM\branches\XBMC_DB_Base\Release Files\Images\Flags
-and-
EMM\trunk\Release Files\Images\Flags
Thanks.

I have looked into the issue with some films not getting fanart etc.
IMPAwards.com:
The reason it fails to scrape from here is IMDB doesn't link to a poster on impawards.com which is where Ember looks for them.
Compare the links for Serenity: http://akas.imdb.com/title/tt0379786/posters
Links for Red: http://akas.imdb.com/title/tt1245526/posters
Note: It isn't that impawards.com has none, just that imdb's web site doesn't link to them. The reason (I think) someone has done it this way is IMDB's film id is used to track films but impawards doesn't use that id, just the name and year which is still a little vague. Hence why the scraper requires imdb to link to the posters.
TheMovieDB.com:
This seems to be where the fan art is acquired from and the problem seems to be with them. They provide an API to look up a film via an IMDB number and return their page. However, for the film Red, it returns nothing, even though they have a page. I don't think this is an issue with Ember, but with this particular web site. It might be something that a registered user could edit, or it might have to be done when the movie is first added to the website. It is shame that this is more common than one would hope.
I have come up with a way of fixing this, as the API does provide a search feature. It isn't ideal but it would work and hopefully get the right film. What do people think?

The majority of the movies I tried today worked, with one exception. It exhibited the same behavior I noticed before: no posters or fanart from themoviedb. Posters were scraped from the other two sources, however.
This time the movie was I Am Legend.

Just remember everybody. Themoviedb was down due to a power outage and their site could be running a bit slow if they are backuping up or restoring items. They could have their API's turned off to reduce the load. Worst case hit the site and grab your fan art manually until its restored.

I don't think that's it. Their site might have been down but the API queries work fine, they sometimes return "Nothing Found" but you always get a response and you always get the same response for the same query.
I guess they could have not have a full backup to restore to or something.

Just an idea, I know the imdb scraper in xbmc finds the movie on imdb, retrieves its imdb id and searches for that on tmdb. But some movies on tmdb, even though they have all the info and pics, they do not have the imdb id saved. In that case, the api returns nothing found.
That might be the problem. (I am just speculating since I do not know how exactly ember scrapes)
But the easiest solution to that is to go on tmdb and add the imdb id, wait for a few hours for the api to be updated and rescrape. That works with xbmc's imdb scraper.
Cheers
