Code:

<RegExp input="$$1" output="&lt;url&gt;http://akas.imdb.com/find?s=tt;q=\1$$4|User-Agent=Mozilla%2F5.0%20(X11%3B%20U%3B%20Linux%20i686%3B%20en-US%3B%20rv%3A1.8.1.14)%20Gecko%2F20080418%20Ubuntu%2F7.10%20(gutsy)%20Firefox%2F​2.0.0.14&lt;/url&gt;" dest="3">

I'm totally new to all this editing XML stuff so can someone please either upload their edited XML or give me noobs guide as to what exactly I need to do as I can't get IMDB scraping to work?

Thanks

Spiff: Thanks, this works.

ChrisWad: find system/scrapers/video/imdb.xml where you installed XBMC to. Open up the file with a text editor. Line 46 should contain "http://akas.imdb.com/find" (it's the only instance of "find" in the file). Replace the original line with the one Spiff posted.

does that mean you will need to have mozilla firefox installed? - apologies if that is an obvious question
