Thanks DoctorD for this amazing scraper. Everything works fine (actors, genres,...), execpt for the fanarts. I tried on several videos but it doesn't seem to scrap fanarts even though they appear on data18 website.

I've released a new version. Please use the new version from the direct download link in the first post of the thread until it gets merged into xbmc-adult. It fixes issues with actors not showing up. I've also noticed some of the fanart issues seem to have gone away when I was doing development. Anyone else still having issues with fanart in this scraper?
Recently it seems Data18 has vastly improved their search for content in that you can actually search their content database natively. I still think google is going to be the most accurate way of finding the scene as there's no standard naming convention for files and google can sometimes sort it out anyways, but it might be possible now to allow the scraper not to use google when searching. This would stop the problem with the scraper sometimes not working due to being blocked temporarily by google. If I can figure how settings work in scrapers and I have some free time, I may try to make this part of the scraper so you can optionally use this. If anyone else knows of another scraper that has a Settings feature in it that allows you to pick between two different search functions, that could greatly speed along development since I can examine how it was done there. XBMC scraper documentation is pretty out of date .

Hi Jiggsaw,
I just released a new version you can download from the first post that gives you a configurable option to use Data18's own search instead of Google. It's really pretty strict and your files need to be named almost exactly the same as the title on data18, but it should prevent you from getting blocked. I don't really like naming my files the same as the title that data18 has, so I personally don't use this method, but hopefully some people find it useful. One option I thought of to maybe make this a little better is we come up a standardized naming convention for Data18 content files like "Network - Actor1, Actor 2 (...) - Scene Title As It Appears on Data 18 (Optional Year or Date)" or something like that. Then we can just look at the last part of the file name before the date to search on data18. This gives us the advantage of not just having the scene title as our file name, which honestly is not very useful for these kind of movies.
Does anyone else have thoughts on a file name convention for this?

(repeating the same description as in the plot)
eg http://www.data18.com/content/update_62580.html
Also data18 search seems to be beyond broke for searching for scenes, ie searching for "Scavenger Hunt" brings up the above as a possible link and yet putting "Fucken Scavenger Hunt" brings up nothing at all.
Must admit for all there faults it does make me appreciate thetvdb and themoviedb so much more.
P.S. Why is there not something like theadultdb
