Hi I'd like to share a TV scraper I've been working on lately. This scraper uses data from thetvdb.com but with the season/episode mapping from thexem.de which lets us add certain shows to our library where thetvdb and reality do not match up without having to rename our files to match thetvdb.
I'm calling it beta as I've only tested it with a few shows (which it works great on) but wanted to get some others to try it out as well to see if there are any bugs or such.
The show will have to exist and have mapping setup on thexem.de so you may want to check their site to see if your show exists before attempting to scrape for it. If it doesn't exist you can sign up and add it along with the proper mapping.
Edit - Download link removed as this is now available via the official XBMC repository

Hi I will take a look and see. It's actually NOT using absolute numbering so what you're seeing may just be the way thexem.de transforms thetvdb's xml.
For the trakt scrobbling I'm assuming the plugin sends the season/episode number from xbmc to trakt. Since trakt uses thetvdb's numbering that's probably why it's not working (i.e. as you mention they all come in as season 1 so it would be trying to scrobble 1x249 which doesn't exist on trakt). Basically I think if I can get the first thing fixed I believe the trakt part will just work.

Yes. I thought that that was the problem when scrobbling to trakt. So like you said, when you fixed the problem with the absolute numbers it will automatically also fix the problem with scrobbling to trakt. Anime's that only have 1 season scrobble fine as you can see in my widget.

Maybe you can ask other developers from scrapers how they do it, so that you can solve this problem. Because i really would like to use this scraper, but only if i am able to scrobble to Trakt.

Have you found any way to solve the problem already? It has been two weeks so far and until now i have not seen any updates. Are you still working on fixing this problem?

Can you tell me where i can find the file VideoInfoScanner.cpp on my own PC? I tried searching for it, but i got back no results. Until the XBMC developers pick this up i want to make the changes you put in the request myself.

Hi guys!
I have some anime on my computer and I'm looking for a working scraper witch can scrap files named as follows "[HorribleSubs] Naruto Shippuuden - 274 [720p].mkv"
Is it posible with this scraper?

If you have the extra tv regexes added then this scraper or thetvdb.com (set to absolute) one should work.
