Not to get this thread too much off topic...
Hmm it seems pecinko is right from what I can tell from the code. This might make mymovies.xml unusable if you have a scene nfo in the same folder it will pickup imdb id and scrape the movie regardless of the mymovies.xml file.
Actually I would like to have the support for mymovies.xml removed from XBMC because MyMovies has supported creation of true XBMC NFO files for some time, so there is really not much use for the old "hacky" way to integrate MyMovies metadata.
The original way was to read mymovies.xml before any NFO file because then it would work regardless of scene NFO's if you use MyMovies, but this is now broken imo.
Also now there is this scraper, but you should really use the XBMC options in MyMovies if you have it. If you want MyMovies without collection management on PC or a Server, then the scraper is for you.

it's on the list of stuff to be removed, the priority of nfo files is part of this process.

lifeisfun, this has nothing to do with this scraper which displays thumbs just fine.
Please keep this on the MyMovies forums, as the generated NFO is missing the thumbs, this is a task for Brian from MyMovies

Hi,
I just started to test the XBMC Movie Scraper. As I purchased another software and had enough credits it was easy for me.
I pointed to my Movie directory and instead of videobuster I used the mymovies scrapper. It started and found 2 titles then a PopUP apperas with the message : " No titles were found". I Tried another subfolder and with that one it worked. Changed back to the main folder and again the Popup. Is there special characters or something like these which cause this message?
I really like the performance and accuracy of this scrapper but anything seems to block it. Do you need a special lo gile which helps you?
System is Win 7 32 Bit SP1 (German)
XBMC: 10.1
Thanks and Regards,
Alex

Been trying this scaper out in the expectation it would marry together the metadata I already have within each movie folder (downloaded and created using Mymovies) with the added benefit of quality cover images,fanart and trailers.
I signed up for the freee 21 day trial. Had to overwrite all the existing 800+movies to download updated data only to find it was wrong on many movies, particularly those that are foreign movies I had stored with English titles.Additional more than 90% still dont appear to have the Trailers tab visible and some dont have fanart. All in all I can;t see what the point of this scraper is and to expect money for it is crazy. XBMC picks up all data from the nfo files created by Mymovies yet this scraper does not look at those and just tries to match online, inevitably many errors occur. If all trailers were present Ok but they aren't , not even close .
Anyone contemplating buying this DONT!

Hi
I cannot add the MyMovies.dk scraper to the TV series I have
MyMovies has the ability to catalogue (and in my case has done) all TV series also.
However, on XBMC, I cannot select it as a TV Scraper.
Is there a way to fix this?
Thanks
