Movie scraper not scraping cast and crew.
#1
A little background,

Running frodo 12.3 on windows, mac mini and macbook pro utilising a shared library via mysql 5.5 on a remote server, files stored on an unraid server.

The movie scraper (the movie database, reporting version 3.7.5) is no longer scraping movie cast and crew information, not sure if this is local to me or something anyone else has noticed. The log is from the windows machine but none of my machines are scraping this info. Can scrape the info with MediaElch though.

It looks like themoviedb has changed the order that the cast details are returned in the JSON response.

Since the scraper relies on regexps to parse the data, it's very sensitive to changes like that (whereas something like MediaElch presumably can treat it properly as JSON object and wouldn't notice a cosmetic change like that.)

I'll push a fix once I've verified and tested.


Edit: Fix now pushed.
