[RELEASE] FilmAffinity (Spanish) scraper

Should be %HOMEPATH%\Application Data\XBMC\xbmc.log
or C:\Program Files\XBMC\xbmc.log

BTW: The german website http://www.regex-tester.de/regex.html translated to spanish http://tinyurl.com/5gfxx9 helps alot.

One question

I have some functions:

First function has a dest="13" inside
Second function has a dest="15" inside

As input of second function are $$13 and $$15

This works, and I have as a result the list of thumbs from both pages.

The problem I have is the next

if I insert this code in the <GetDetails> section:


you can see $$16 is also an input of the GetIMDBPoster function, but it don't work. Why?

Thanks

my suspicion is that you are bitten by the fact that order matters.

remember, the clearbuffers parameter say to not clear buffers after function calls.
so the point here is to
1) fill buffer 13
2) fill buffer 15
3) fill buffer 16
4) call GetIMDBPoster

not
1) fill buffer 13
2) fill buffer 15
3) call GetIMDBPoster
4) fill buffer 16

and i assume GetFilmAffinityPoster has clearbuffers="no"

Thanks, I got it. The problem was the order of functions.

I am testing with PC version and it works searching for cariño.
Is in xbox where don't work. It is possible that SearchStringEncoding is not implemented in xbox version?

thanks

I am searching for actor thumbs in imdb.
I have a problem with animation movies, in filmaffinity site de actor for this case is: "Animation"

Then my scraper searchs for animation in imdb and always finds this: Chuck Jones.

How can I avoid searching for actors when the actor is Animation? I should try to remove the Animation code from the buffer to avoid the scraper find it....

Thanks

use an expression that clears a buffer IF you find animation. let this buffer hold the function call. clear if expression matches. append the buffer. problem solved.

I have tried it but....
If I write this:

it works, but if I change dest="5+" with dest="9+" then the scraper don't call the function. I know because if dest="5+" the log has this:

Get URL: http://spanish.imdb.com/find?s=nm&q=Mar%...E9+Baus%E1

but with 9+ it isn't

why?

thanks

i assume buffer 9 is never transfered to the one containing the return value from the scraper function..

Yes, I use this:


I tried this code after the call to function and also with the function inside it:



I also tested it with buffer 20 because buffer 9 is used in the scraper and buffer 20 is never used. But don't work in any case.

Thanks

you need noclean on the outermost expression or all tags will be stripped off
