This is a great scraper but I am having a problem with a couple of films. 'Spirited Away' and 'Family Guy : something something something Darkside' are not being found. I have tried changing the settings with the source title to imdb and moviedb but no joy. They scrape fine if I change the scraper to the original moviedb and every other movie is found without issue but the 2 mentioned films are as if they don't exist.

The scraper uses IMDb for searching and lists the movies by their original title in the search results, this is something which cannot be changed.

Now:
- 'Family Guy : something something something Darkside' is indeed not exists on IMDb, so no wonder
- 'Spirited Away' is their in the search result list with its originaltitle: 'Sen to Chihiro no kamikakushi' - if you select this then the scraped title will be changed to the language you set in the settings.

Thanks for the quick response Olympia, that clears that up.

Why do you have the option for changing title scraping to TMDB if it only checks IMDB though?

The scaper lool up the movie on Imdb to identify it. After this, the given field will be scraped from the content provider you set for that particular field.

"Something, Something, Something, Dark Side" is listed as an episode of the Family Guy tv show (season 8, episode 20), not a movie. So this scraper can't find it.

Is this going to replace the tmdb scraper as the default scraper in xbmc? perhaps in frodo?

Nah, this won't replace the default. Default should be very basic which even the average joe can get a grip on.
This one is with full of settings which they can't simply conceptualize.

So this is more for the geeks, the pro users who wants more and know what they are doing.

Would it be possible to add Trakt.tv website ratings? They have an API:
