themoviedb scraper now partly broken

yea, not showing up for movies like batman, batman begins

I just scanned in Batman Begins and it worked fine. Are you still having problems? If so, please post your debug log.

I don't think your problem is related to this thread at all. It appears from your log that you have an NFO file in the directory, and therefore XBMC is hitting this rather than TMDB.

I would suggest creating a post on the general support subforum.

Alternatively, you could try renaming the NFO file and any thumbs cached in the directory, and then try again. Narrow down where the problem is exactly.

Thanks AaronD, that was it. It looks like I had some old .nfos leftover in some of my movie directories. I had one with just an imdb link and one that xbmc created. After removing the one xbmc created everything works again.

On Xbox I still see a problem with some movietitles that have symbols or accents in them. No fanart shows up and when I go to select it manually, this happens:

Dead Snow (originally Død snø):




Un prophète:



The thumbs load as generic images and selecting them does absolutely nothing, while these movies all had fanart before. And there's even a few movies with no special characters at all that have this problem.

Also, after fastscrolling through a list, fanart tends to remain absent until I move the cursor. What could the problem be? Log needed?

edit: I scrape movie info with imdb, don't know if that's part of the issue?

Hey mate,

Yup that's a known issue I should have fixed up this weekend.

Cheers,

hi its been almost a week since i done my last library update and it seems the fanart/boxart is no longer for me once again (it was broken then fixed itself a week ago) ... do i need to just be patient or is everything working and its just my setup? movies added to the library includes the karate kid, flash gordon, etc.

AaronD Wrote:A question for those more knowledgeable on regex or XBMC scraper's than me. Why is that the following query matches.

Code:

<thumb>(.*?)url="([^"]*)" width="[^"]*" size="mid"(.*?)</thumb>

But this query doesn't

Code:

<thumb>(.*?)url="([^"]*)".*?size="mid"(.*?)</thumb>

The first matches because it finds the width attribute, but in the second regex I'm trying to mask out anything between the URL close quote and the size attribute. This always fails. Frustrating, because this would make it simple to take out the width parameter whether it was there or not. But my regex knowledge is very limited.

Did you try putting the .*? before size in parentheses? as in


That should do the trick

EDIT: Nevermind, parentheses only makes it a variable for capture it should have worked without the parentheses as well, I am confused


EDIT#2:

I just edited the common\tmdb.xml with the (.*?) added before size, and it seems to work (although there is currently just a space between the url and size, it should still work if there were more elements) just like jmarshall suggested.

travis, was this resolved? I'm still having issues getting fanart for movies with accents or symbols in the name.
