Creating Music Video scraper

No one?

Hi RizThon,
Looks like the link for your new xml file is dead. I get an unknown paste Id message. Can you re-up it?

Thanks

Please ignore my previous comment, the zipped version on mediafire works just fine!

I uploaded the zipped addon-ified scraper http://www.mediafire.com/?n3yc8g1u20qjjqi and tried it in XBMC 10.1 and 11 beta 1 on Win7. Please test if it works fine on XP and Debian. If there's no problem I'll ask the scraper to be added to the XBMC repo.

FYI:
I added the plot tag (#1 from previous post
I fixed the encoding issue (#2 from previous post)

Hi RizThon,

I tried writing a local scrapper for scrapping music videos on my harddisk based on original titles.

please find below the script i've tried... but its not working and donno how to make it work... as i'm trying it out for the first time...

<scraper name="localdb" content="movies" thumb="imdb.gif" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">

<include>metadata.common.localdb.com/localdb.xml</include>

<CreateSearchUrl dest="3">
<RegExp input="$$1" output="\1" dest="3">
<expression noclean="1"></expression>
</CreateSearchUrl>

<GetSearchResults dest="8">
<RegExp input="$$1" output="<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" standalone="yes"?><results><entity><title>\1</title></entity></results>" dest="8">
<expression noclean="1"></expression>
<expression />
</RegExp>
</GetSearchResults>

<GetDetails dest="3">
<RegExp input="$$1" output="<details><title>\1</title><originaltitle>\1</originaltitle><plot>Some dummies doing dumb things</plot></details>" dest="3">
<expression></expression>
</RegExp>
</GetDetails>

</scraper>

I tried adding support for fanart downloading from htbackdrops.com, but I miserably failed. I'm completely lost :/ But I don't think I'm too far from the solution. Can someone help me out with this? I think it would be really great to have fanarts with our music videos!

Here is my XML : http://pastebin.com/mkBwTBtD

Thanks!

Sorry didn't see your post earlier.

I feel like if you have already some fanarts in your music library, then it'll be displayed in your music video library (eg I have a nice wallpaper for artist A in my music library, if I have music videos of that artist A, I'll see the nice wallpaper when browsing the music videos).

NOTE also that there is an "official" music video scraper using last.fm directly in the XBMC repository:
