it was brought to my attention that people were using xem incorrectly, the proxy method was a crude hack 1.5 years ago and really shouldnt be used... as you are translating one direction... and if you translate to what the 'scene' wants.. and then you really shouldnt be expecting to use the tvdb or andib scraper. a correct way is to use xem to translate from an entitiy then to the entiity (scraper) you plan on using. that way you can just use the tvdb scraper. or anidb scraper. etc.

Scraper for thexem.de has been in the repo for a while now btw. It's mostly working great, but the biggest limitations are in the data available from the site. So get crackin people. Xem needs more mapping data!

I'm probably just pounding sand but I agree whole heartedly. My Original post about the miniseries "The Lost Room"
Quote:The miniseries "The Lost Room" has some problems and as usual it's another 'locked' page. The problem is the original poster has the episodes as 1,2,3, which was how it was originally intended to be broadcast but in actuality I watched it as six seperate episodes. My DVD in fact has the episodes split up into six parts and the only way to have the scraper read it correctly is to either misname half the episodes (xbmc will read dupes) or re compress the videos together.They refuse to edit any of the 'locked' content even if it is clearly wrong. I have tried to be a part of their community and help with mistakes but multiple time was told Quote:"If it was unlocked you most likely would have made this edit and the entry would be messed up."I have the DVD for the tv show and the episodes are listed as separate. He also said Quote:The Lost Room has been discussed before and we've always been very clear, we list series by how they originally aired. As you noted this one originally aired as 3 episodes and not six so the entry will not be changing.If you read my above post I clearly stated "intended" but I actually watched it in six as well (Sci-Fi). Also why have separate entries for "Aired, DVD and absolute order" on the website. They think they are infallible and I'm done. What's the point of a community driven compendium of knowledge, if the community has no say in it. other issues "The Angry VideoGame Nerd" (Missing and misnamed), Mortal Kombat series (Missnamed and bad episode info)...all fine by them.

And have to mouth off like they was robbed or it was the end of the world. If a tv listing is not to your liking. Then make your own .NFO files to suit your needs. I Myself am very thankful for the thetvdb.com. And the day when thetvdb.com and fanart.tv merge/conjoin/become as one, The better it will be. NOTE.... That is not going to happen as far as I know. But the images at fanart.tv and the show info at thetvdb.com are second to none. The day all that info is held in one easy system, The better it will be. So does that mean because it is free then we should accept it's lack of functionality? I appreciate that it is free but seeing as how the 'community' is the one adding all this information, banners, backgrounds and so on, I think we should at least be able to approach the admins and say "Pardon me, there is a problem with this entry, might I change it?" without being told "nah you'd just screw it up anyway!". The information on this scraper is very much community driven and a lot of people have spent a lot of time and effort to make it what it is so I do think the people get the right to speak their mind. |

To call their userbase Dumb bastards is a bit over the line. Especially when they rely on that same userbase to help create and maintain the website. Unfortunately though, there simply isn't another TV database to use at the moment. They come off arrogant and from know on I will be using NFO's  Post by Coco Quote:I understand what you want but we can't please everybody. If you really want to list it as six episodes I suggest using nfo files.Post by Me (Reroshaggy) Quote:Then why is there separate entries for Aired, DVD and Absolute? I own the DVD and the episodes are split.An honest and not rude question, just wanted to know. Post by hikaricore Quote:That's nice, but dvd ordering does not currently allow us to make 3 episodes into 6 so it is impossible for us to accommodate you here. As was already mentioned, please use nfo files. It's not that difficult. That's nice! is this person for real? At least I haven't had to deal with nubs at TMDB so there's that.

He is saying that it is free in the way of you getting give something and not having to pay for it, but it isnt free in the way that they want your input.
So... Her drink this beer for free but don't tell us how you think we can make the beer any better. |
