Italian language scrapers - FilmUP

fralken · 2009-01-31 01:04

Hello, I found a small bug in filmup.xml .
The first line

<scraper name="FilmUP.it" content="movies" thumb="FilmUP.gif">

refers to image "FilmUP.gif" but the actual file is "filmup.gif".
This prevents the image to be displayed under Linux in the list of scrapers. This is not a problem under Windows since its file system is case insensitive.
The line should be:

<scraper name="FilmUP.it" content="movies" thumb="filmup.gif">

thx

Same here, with a lots of movies the title is missing.

In filmup instead title is working but not other fields like genre etc etc...I cant for example search movies scraped with filmup by genre....

budo Wrote:Hello! This is my first post on XBMC forum.
I was interested in having a scraper for movies, working with a site in Italian language. In effect FilmUP is not really updated... I cannot find many film.
MyMovies.it seems really a good site! All the movies I searched were found.
So I looked for a scraper for mymovies and found this one:
http://trac.xbmc.org/ticket/5099
Bit it wasn't working correctly: many fields were not valued, especially an important one... the title!
So I changed the scraper.
Now it works for me and is able to fetch: Title, year, genre, runtime, year and the plot!!! the main fields, in my opinion!!!

You can find the Ubuntu/Debian install package in Trac, just download and doubbleclick and the scraper will be added to XBMC automagically!!! I've posted even the scraper XML file for those users that doesn't use Ubuntu/Debian.

P.S.
To all Italian users: for "TV Shows" I suggest to use http://www.thetvdb.com since it can manage many languages... If you can't find your show, just add an entry in the DB! It's community driven!

Hi for the italian users you suggest thetvdb but I tried for example "Romanzo criminale" and "Heroes". Both series appear in english. How can select the languige? What I wrong? Other url for italian tv shows? How I add the url?
Thanks

Reading the XML definition of the scraper I understand that it read HTML code of the website pages (is this correct ?).

Does someone get in contact with mymovies.it webmaster to verify if it's possible to use a API to query database ?

it's impossible! Sad

I try to contact them, but never get answer...but this is normal, if you don't see their pages you don't see their advertising...

I wrote mymovies.it scraper 1 year ago and now nothing work, reason: new graphic for mymovies.it.

In this day i'm rewriting the scraper...i hope mymovies don't change for some times Rolleyes

I solved the problem.
Using http://www.thetvdb.com/ you have italian scrapers only if the specific series have also the italian laguage, if not everyone can add italians information: simply you subscribe at the site (only registred person can add informations) and search for the specific serie (english original title)
