Hi, is there a way to have this addon go through all the movies in our database and have it write imdb tags to all our movies (Using IMDB tags)?

EDIT: I think IMDB calles them Plot Keywords.

xtremesnow · 2014-02-16, 01:25

yes there is a way to look at all of your movies on imdb. The problem is, when you go over 100 movies on imdb watch list, it displays it on more than one page. this add-on only looks at the 1rst page only.

The way you can fix this is by going to your imdb watch list and go to the bottom of the page and click page 2. once you're on your second page, copy that URL in the add-on settings. it should add the 2nd page of 100 movies. you can do this up to 500 movies i guess.(limitations of 5 URL)

It's kind of a flaw for this add-on to look at the http://www.imdb.com. it could be unlimited if it looked at the RSS feed. Plus it would simplify it. Hopefully we will see this on future releases.

...i realize this post is really old but i just spent hours trying to figure this out. hopefully this will help someone else.

Fixed for Kodi 14 and 15, removed Trakt and Music. Use RSS instead of the normal URL - see OP. Have also submitted to the official repo now, so should be much easier to install and manage.

@wellspokenman,
Really love your addon, thank you.

a)
Can we hope on getting more than 5 URL to add more watchlists?
As a Watchlist fan, I really love to add much more lists and watch them growing with my database over the time.

b)
Also have a question, when running as a service.
I set the refresh-interval-hours to 96, which should be ok for my database.
I turn off my OpenElec RP2 Kodi from time to time for a couple of days.
What happens to the counter (96 hours) then? Does it start all over or does it continue or will it eventually skip the database update?

c)
possible to add https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_st...ed_Kingdom
to the "URLs that we will be searching for comedians" (from main.py) ?

I have to upgrade some stuff at home before I can release an official update to the repo, but in case you feel like getting friendly with your pet python:

a) More watchlists is easy; have a look at line 13 of settings.xml, just add another value to that enum, ie:
<setting label="30905" visible="eq(-1,true)" default="1" type="enum" id="32099" values="1|2|3|4|5|6"/>

this would give you one more. Then add a pair of these ones at the end of that list (these would become line 24 and 25, with /category being line 26)
<setting label="30906" type="text" visible="gt(-9,3) + eq(-10,true)" id="32054" default="http://rss.imdb.com/user/ur12345678/watchlist"/>
<setting label="30903" type="text" visible="gt(-10,3) + eq(-11,true)" id="32084" default="DefaultText"/>
just increment the id (not the label) ie 32054 becomes 32055 and 32084 becomes 32085. Wash, rinse repeat. The code keeps on taking URLs until the number it gets from line 13 is reduced 0. So long as you increment the ids, it will keep on finding the next one.

b)
Good point. The timer is pretty basic (read: not very clever). It's just a big number that gets slowly smaller. If the device is sleeping I have to imagine that the number is not getting smaller. I could implement a date-based version. Good idea.

c)
I think I did - if something isn't matching there are a few possibilities. First though i should explain that all I'm doing for Standup is searching for 'movies' containing the comedians name in the title. This protects me from all the false positives where comedians become actors and visa versa. But it makes a big assumption: comedian name in title. The wiki URLs I'm searching are on 349-353 of main.py (feel free to add more):
wikiurllist=["http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_British_stand-up_comedians",
"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_stand-up_comedians",
"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Australian_stand-up_comedians",
"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Canadian_stand-up_comedians",
"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_stand-up_comedians"]

Some possibilities: wiki has changed their formatting and it broke my regex, comedian name is somehow irregular (dashes, three names, one name etc) and my regex isn't smart enough to recognise this, movie title does not contain comic name, etc. See if you can narrow it down a little - also try the debug option - it will give you a lot of info. Then just search your XBMC log for all the 'teg-gen' entries. Are other UK comics being tagged? How about other titles for this comic? Is his/her name in the title? Comics from other regions? You get the idea.

Thank you :-)

a)
I was looking at the source code and tried to change something into something other, but now, with your explanaitions, I'll try again :)
Also, I'm not sure, what happens to my additions, when you update the addon in the repo and Kodi automaticly updates it on my system. I guess, my additions will be overwritten?
So I'd better contribute to your code at github, but I never have done this before and need to read some documentation first, which...will...take...some...time...

c)
I asked, because I didn't saw the UK URL in the lines of main.py.
So I assumed, they're not checked, beside the listed ones, like US- or Aussie-ones.

But again, with your explanation, I found, that some of my StandUp-Movies does not contain the comedians name, so that could be a reason too.
I was thinking also, if it could be "better" to include the comedians name as an actor, but then we would end up with too many movies not being StandUpComedies, but bad movies, where the comedian showed up as an terrible actor ;-) So the way it is, is ok, imho.

EDIT:
ok,
here is my settings.xml which allows up to 19 Watchlists (limitation was given by the already existing ID 32099 and I didn't want to change the main.py atm)
I also changed the example-URLs from "http://rss.imdb.com/user/ur12345678/watchlist/" to "http://rss.imdb.com/list/ls012345678/" which seems to be the actual format now.

Hi,
playing with some lists, I'd like to suggest a feature whish :-)

Add a RadioButton (or somewhat) to let the user chose what the given List contains. (klick on the links below to see)

i.e.

IMDB Watchlist URL (rss): http://www.imdb.com/list/ls054398016/
Set this tag in Kodi: WL_FAV_DIRECTORS_TAG
Chose type of list: ( ) Actors (o) Directors ( ) Movie Titles

IMDB Watchlist URL (rss): http://www.imdb.com/list/ls058718139/
Set this tag in Kodi: WL_FAV_ACTORS_TAG
Chose type of list: (o) Actors ( ) Directors ( ) Movie Titles

EDIT:
Hmmmm... nevermind. Must be something weird with fetching the data from IMDB... I restored the version, which had problems and its working right now as expected.... murphy...

U don't need to read the rest...

Hello,

(when using the "write all tags" or "write IMDB tags" feature)

is it possible to specify this error message a little bit in the next releases of this useful addon?
I really don't know, where I can start my search for solving this error.

If its a rss URL from the config, the number or name would be good to see 8-)

Opening all the rss feeds from my config to the browser showed valid results.

So I'm stuck here...

EDIT:
I fiddled a little bit in with the settings and now I get a message:

Quote:03:06:01 T:7272 NOTICE: TAG-GEN: http://rss.imdb.com/list/ls004187379/ contains no IMDB IDs. Check URL and retry.

but, when you open the list, you see, it has a lot of entries, so still no luck.

the log wasn't helpful either:

glad you got it fixed - as a general rule, Debug Mode should make things more verbose (good for cases where a specific movie/standup isn't behaving as expected) and 'I found no IMDB IDs' means that either IMDB changed their website and it broke my regex, or somehow we have internet access but that page isn't loading any text for us to search. Sooner or later the former will happen.

zerocool_ie · 2016-08-17, 22:53

Just found this addon and it's the perfect solution I was looking for to create a list of all my Standup specials.

Kudos, wellspokenman

Is there any chance that the Trakt option could be re-added? The trakt plugin no longer supports tagging from watchlists since v3.0.

Nice, just seen this, I guess it can work well with nodes!

I wonder if its possible to extend to sports and other types of video genres.

Is there any chance that the Trakt option could be re-added? The trakt plugin no longer supports tagging from watchlists since v3.0.

Oh - I didn't know that. I dropped trakt support when they changed their API so would have to rewrite it from scratch. No promises but I will have a look at their new API and see how much work is involved.

Not sure I follow. Could you please link to some external lists that could add value if used to tag an internal video library?

Something like https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/26023-deck-dogz

So the keyword "Skateboarding"

So I could categorize all my skateboarding movies together.

I have not looked at the TMDB api, but i'm guessing there is a way to access the keywords.
