As much necessary as your comment about your feelings was. It is not me who started to bitch, but you.
...and you know, it's not wise to bite the hand which feeds you...

I don't need to look at the other scrapers because I know them by heart since I was writing them all! Don't you think that if it was possible, then the music video scraper wouldn't be better? I was not asking for a code here, just simply please explain me the logic who it could work.

I don't have to know all these to make this judgement and honestly I don't care either. Simply referring to other scrapers tells me everything. Music video is a totally different animal compared to movie and/or music. For movies, we only need a single title. For music we need a lot more (artist, album, track, etc.), but we can read out this information from the tags to submit proper queries to the content providers. For music video we would also need these, but there are no tags, just the filename.

This is not a release announcement thread, this is the thread of the scraper and everything about it belongs here. There is also a search function implemented in the forum and google would've also found this thread.

Not true. You were not created a bug report saying that there is an incorect error message when the filename is not formatted as expected and it would be good to have it fixed if there is a chance. You were instead claiming that the scraper doesn't work. Since this is not the case, the report is invalid - as simple as that.

Try to report my post again, maybe it will help.

Reporting that post will get you nowhere
It's not only that it will not get him anywhere but I must say it is quite pathetic as well.
Edit: I am sorry for the off-topic from everyone else, this was my last post on this.
