German IMDB scraper, please test it and give feedback

v1.0.0 available, see first post

v1.0.1
corrected some RegEx to get all tags working again

v1.1.0
- images/thumbs from IMDB are working now (only a typo)
- alternative plot from OFDB still not working

is the latest version available for download anywhere? would love to test it. danke!

latest Version 2.0.0 can be found here:
<http://eisbahn.ohost.de/>

What is _not_ working
<premiered>Premierendatum</premiered> not im-/exported to XBMC
<aired>???</aired> only for TV-Shows/series?
<set>???</set> don't know what this is
<artist>???</artist> difference to actor?
<status>???</status> don't know what this is
<certification>Altersfreigabe für alle Staaten außer D</certification> not im-/exported to XBMC
<sorttitle>alternative Filmtitel</sorttitle>only first titel is im-/exported to XBMC
<code>???</code> don't know what this is, I think it's the codec => no sense to import anything in this field
<trailer>Trailer</trailer> senseless for me because the hole DVD is in XBMC present

Any hints for the corrupted tags are highly welcome.

Hello,

I cant include the scraper into the addons dir. Can you attach a addon.xml file please?
Ah... I wrote it by myself... I've copied another addon.xml and edit it.
Thx for the scraper.
But i got no Covers ;(

@Eisbahn, mind posting an add-on ready version of the scraper? Otherwise users with newer builds won't be able to test and give feedback. Thanks.

Hello,

at the moment the scraper is only ready for v9.11, not the upcomming v10 with the new structure. Sadly I do not have any infos how v10 should be implemented, wiki is empty and in the forum I couldn't find any infos as well...<http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Add..._Extension > there are no infos for scrapers => No infos, no scaper :=(
For me with v9.11 unzipping and copying the two files into the video scraper dir works fine, can test v10 in a VM in a few hours. But I excpect it wont work out of the box with v10 as olympia wrote in another thread.
I don't know how often I asked: what tags are supported by XBMC v9.11 and v10 and what is the meaning of each? Any infoy about the structure in v10? Think it should be no problem (ok, a little) to get it working with v10.

All tags you've listed are obsolete due to the fact they are for shows, not needed for german stuff or handled internally. I am completely with you for the trailer stuff but i bet some users will request it as soon the scraper hits the official repository

The only difference for the upcoming dharma release is how scrapers and settings are handled. I'd recommend you to have a look at the other scrapers that are already add-ons to get an overview until the wiki is updated.

Hi vdrfan,

just found <http://xbmc.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=xbmc/scrapers;a=commit;h=5b59dec81b4e5046a3a515bc0cc6fd68ba408201>. Hope this are actual and proper xml examples, will try it this evening at home.
Are any docs out right now? I know this situation from real life: no docs ready, but client wants an implementation of feature X. No problem, but if the client does not say what he realy wants, it wont be a cheap solution and both sides are frustrated at the end... => Normally I do not accept any contracts without clear rules, or I adapt the price a bit ;=)
