I've done a quick fix that works with my active preferences, just to be able to use the scrapper while it isn't officially corrected.
Feel free to use it if you want, but it probably has some bugs yet. You'll have to replace the filmaffinity.xml file inside the addon directory ($xbmc_path/addons/metadata.filmaffinity.com/filmaffinity.xml) with this other one: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=7RD9S8R6.

PROBABLEMENTE EL SERVIDOR NO ESTE DISPONIBLE

Nice one agjacome it works aswell for me!!
Seems that the older issue about the movie rating (G, PG, and so on) and the information about the people rating (average vote) is still here, but thanks a lot anyway!!!

I am very interested in following this scraper development. is this an alternative to MaDDoGo's original scraper? is this thread the one to pay attention to in order to be up to date? by the way, thanks a lot for this great effort!

Thanks to adjacome, the scrapper is now updated in github and ready to be pulled to the official addon repository. The downlad is in github https://github.com/MaDDoGo/metadata.film...all/master
Cheers!
Cheers!
again, is this the appropriate place where to comment this addon? if no, please point me to it. if yes, let me tell you that it works again like a charm, and since I've been doing a little research on the code (didn't know when a new version was going to be released) I would like to suggest an alternative query system for IMDB.
I was wondering why a GoogleToIMDB section is used. isn't it better to use directly the internal IMDB search engine rather than calling google to crawl through it? am I missing something? because something like http://www.imdb.com/find?q=\1&s=tt (tt is for titles) would do the job, it should be much faster than google since it would be a direct call to IMDB rather than a bridged one, plus it won't annoy google as it currently does (whenever I batch update my library I get a captcha from google trying to know if I am a robot). am I right?

And yes, using iMDb directly would be a better way, I don't know neither why it is using Google to do that. But instead of using title search i will rather go with an advanced search using also the year, it would refine searches to exclude remakes and films with same title (example1 vs example2), and with only on result, it'll make things easier to parse the correct url later.
