the there's a 'new ticket' in the upper right hand corner.

OK, I got it.

I submited the patch.
the only pendent issue the scraper has is that I don't know how to set the searchstringencoding

I included SearchStringEncoding="ISO 8859-1" but it don't work.
The page I am scraping is this one:

http://www.filmaffinity.com/es/search.php?stext=cariño

But the result is blank because the ñ
What is the format I shoudl use for the encoding?
I have tried a lot:
ISO8859-1
ISO-8859-1
etc.
but no one works.

Thanks

Hello HectorziN,

I'm trying to use your scraper but it has no config options in XBMC. I wan't to know how can i use it to manually search my movies, because sometimes it retrieves the wrong title. Also the posters quality is a bit low, can u enhace this scraper to get the covers from another source?

A bit offtopic; it's possible to use multiple sources (aka multiple scrapers) in XBMC?? For example if a movie is not found using one scraper, then use another, etc..

Many thanks in advance, kind regards,

The config options are in the latest version, and it is not included yet in the last t3ch compilation.

The posters quality is low, but there is no way to use a poster from another address without a link in FilmAffinity web page.

It could be possibly to look the poster in imdb, but with the risk of getting a different movie, because the search in imdb could return more than one result.

when the search find a wrong result there is an option in the bottom of the window where you can set the name to search manually

I think is not possible having multiple sources. without changing set content option two times, of course.

Thanks for the answer HectorziN, where can i download the latest version of your scraper?? Also, i can't see that option at the window bottom, what theme are u using? i'm using MediaStream and can't see such option...

regards

updated scraper is now in svn, r15969

oh, and the search string encoding worked fine for me. i made a directory named cariño, set content, did the lookup. got the list your url pointed to.

And where is the SVN? can you provide a link to download the scraper or attach it here?

regards,

Fido

@HectorziN:
It is possible to get the IMDB Link with a google search.
site:imdb.com +original title +year

I'm using a google wrapper to get the IMDB ID for fanart at my moviemaze scraper.
