Rotten Tomatoes Scraper

The fanart/thumb messes up and uses the same art as the previous movie when your movie directories are not named "Movie (Year)".

For example
i have "Crank High Voltage (2009)", Finding Nemo, Sin City
It gives finding nemo and sin city the same art/thumb as crank. Refreshing individual movies does help but is not an option for 200 movies..

I am unable to reproduce. Please post a full debug log of that scan.

I have same problem, same cover art for every movie with latest build and latest rotten tomatoes scraper? Everything else comes through, descriptions etc, I can see the cover art is being downloaded but then defauts to display the same art for first movie in folder. Any suggestions?

If noone can help with problem, could anybody please advise if they have rotten tomotoes working as default scraper on windows?? I have tried everything but always get the cover art / fanart of first scanned movie for all movies, regardless of folder / file structure.

Just so everyone knows, I'm working on getting this fixed for Dharma. It was majorly borked when Rotten Tomatoes did an overhaul on their website recently.

I've set up a project on my Github for this scraper and when it's ready I'll post a link and do a "pull" request for the admins.

I'm beginning to wonder if it is worthwhile continuing having this as a stand-alone scraper, for a few reasons:

• The newer entries for movies on the RT site are light on actual movie information. Classification and any information bar cast and director is missing from many new entries.
• Because not all of this information is available on all pages, it makes it far more difficult to successfully scrape. The layout of the HTML from page to page, making it harder to create a regex to cover all situations, as there are a lack of "hooks" in the underlying HTML.
  

There's a couple of solutions:

• Keep the RT scraper as stand alone and pull information from other "common" scrapers OR
• Pare it down to just ratings and maybe some other info, creating a common scraper for other scrapers to use RT ratings. This would mean the RT would not be stand alone, and would be used in conjunction with IMDB or TMDB for example.
  

Any thoughts?

I think widdling it down to just ratings makes sense. I think IMDB and TMDB handle the plot/other info pretty well, but the RT ratings are still worthwhile.

I agree, keep things simple. Use IMDB and TVDB as regular scrapers, and RT for ratings.

Here's an example of RT being used in AppleTV.

Yeah, I'd love to be able to use IMDB for scraping with RT ratings.

I see slight chance we would approve this in the official scrapers(IMDb, tmdb). I mean going out and grab the rating from somewhere else (eg. RT).
