I have all of the Three Stooges "shorts" and it seems that Ember's default scraper can't find any of them, even though the full title and date are in the filename. I tried the other scrapers a bit without success, but it seems that using multiple scrapers at this time is a tad flakey.

Is there some reason "shorts" are treated differently than regular movies by the scrapers or the apis? Example: "Fling in the Ring (1955)". I have to manually enter it's IMDB id before it is found.

The problem is this "movie" is listed as short and not as movie. I have reduced the search results in IMDB (native) scraper to movie only.
I take a look on this.

Okay, I'll look and see if I can create or modify the scraper for shorts. I have a ton of these to scrape. I suspect that my 450 or so cartoons will count as shorts. I really don't want to enter them one at a time.

You can edit this file in VB: clsScrapeIMDB.vb

original code (line 944):

Code:

Dim sHTTP As New HTTP
Dim HTML As String = sHTTP.DownloadData(String.Concat("http://", IMDBURL, "/find?q=", Web.HttpUtility.UrlEncode(sMovie), "&s=tt&ttype=ft"))
Dim HTMLp As String = sHTTP.DownloadData(String.Concat("http://", IMDBURL, "/find?q=", Web.HttpUtility.UrlEncode(sMovie), "&s=tt&ttype=ft&ref_=fn_tt_pop"))
Dim HTMLm As String = sHTTP.DownloadData(String.Concat("http://", IMDBURL, "/find?q=", Web.HttpUtility.UrlEncode(sMovie), "&s=tt&ttype=ft&ref_=fn_ft"))
Dim HTMLe As String = sHTTP.DownloadData(String.Concat("http://", IMDBURL, "/find?q=", Web.HttpUtility.UrlEncode(sMovie), "&s=tt&ttype=ft&exact=true&ref_=fn_tt_ex"))
Dim rUri As String = sHTTP.ResponseUri
sHTTP = Nothing

change "Dim HTMLe As String" (remove "&ttype=ft", change "&ref_=fn_tt_ex" to "&ref_=fn_al_tt_ex"):

Code:

Dim HTMLe As String = sHTTP.DownloadData(String.Concat("http://", IMDBURL, "/find?q=", Web.HttpUtility.UrlEncode(sMovie), "&s=tt&exact=true&ref_=fn_al_tt_ex"))

Is this a recent change? I'm still using 1.3.10 and it gets me info for the original Three Stooges series(shorts). Seems like a rather bad change if so.

Just remembered, since I use Filebot to rename them they are sorted as a TV series, and therefore the info is got from the TV scrapper (theTVDB). meh.... brain isn't working this afternoon.

Original code search only movies, no shorties, no tv shows...
New code search all titles.

I try to make a list with search keys. We can make an option for advanced searching.

Hi,
Has this been fixed in 1.4.7.2? Still can't find shorts and have to enter manually.
