OFDB broken in SVN?

popelheini · 2010-04-07 20:02

The OFDB scraper doesn't work correct on SVN. Most of movies are unknown, can't be added manually. I have installed OFDB from 9.11 on SVN and it works perfect now.
Is it a known error?

OFDb Scraper 1.0.17 does not work for me either.
If I search "Pumuckl" on the OFDb site I get 6 hits, the scraper finds nothing.

It's due to the crappy bing API which was chosen to out-rule the even more crappy OFDb search function. Unfortunately the search function is still that bad, that every title with umlauts and/or chars like "-" or ":" are not found (eg. "Herr der Ringe - ..."). Using the google search won't work either, as it will detect automated search queries and block us for a few minutes.

I am open for ideas.

Hi,
the new Version doesn't utilize URLs given in .nfo files anymore.
Can you please have a look at this.
Thanks

You have to use google search api to avoid bot blocking.

Fixed in scraper version 1.1.2 (eden-pre). Should be available in the repositories in a few minutes. FYI, you might have to force the update.

I made just some view tests, and it seems to work with my .nfo files again.

Thanks

Remark: The Official version 1.1.0 has the same Problem with .nfo, last working Version I know is 1.0.17
