Hi
i'm using eden on win7 64b and really liked it
i scraped my entire movie collection with imdb scraper, and even though i had to change some entries, everything was running smoothly
today i added a couple of movies and tryed to scrape them with imdb, but no luck: after a quick search i get stucked on "enter movie name" screen
i've tryed with other scrapers and they worked normally
what could be the issue with imdb?
thank you for helping me
filippo
ps: imdb scraper will not show me the results even if i search for movie id number...

I was about to post the exact same thing, cause I have the exact same problem. IMDb scraper seems not working.

Indeed, scudlee, I've noticed the same in Chrome, which allowed you to search IMDb by typing "imdb.com[space]movie title" in the address bar, this now results in a broken page. Quickest solution is to set-up another scraper, such as MovieMeter or TheMovieDB.

Where exactly can I select the movie scraper? So for now should I avoid the IMDB-scraper?

Struggling with this also on the pi raspbmc.
Unbelievable. Changed a keymap to update library and couldnot get it working.
Would anyone know if u can change scrapes mid library?? Say start using moviedb without having to rescrap whole library?

One wonders if a simple binary search and replace might do the trick... regardless; just entering the tt code (e.g. "tt0111161") in a file with the name of movie.nfo works too.

PatK, what do you mean? Are you suggesting we put a movie.nfo file with the sole contents of it being "tt0111161", after which the IMDb scraper will proceed to function normally again?

I don't understand why IMDB don't provide a public API. They have absolutely nothing to gain by making people scrape their website, plus it makes them look like assholes. I'm sure they actually do have an API (which could probably be reverse-engineered by disassembling their Android app), they're just smug enough not to release it.
