[RELEASE] Traditional Chinese Movie Scraper( AtMovies )

That's just awesome!

Going to download it now.

Hi Mingjen,

I just want to say thanks for putting up a Dharma version of your scraper so quickly. Much appreciated.

I'm having a bit of problems with AtMovies seems like the the accuracy rate is quite low. Maybe I'm just not doing it right, which could very well be the case.

For example

I have a folder called

千杯不醉

with just one file

千杯不醉.rmvb

I can find the movie on the Atmovies site and can see it in the Query in XBMC. However it refuses to download the jpg.

Another example is

女人本色

What am I doing wrong?

I've also downloaded your yahoo.tw scraper as well. The accuracy seems to be a bit higher with that one, but it doesn't work for 千杯不醉 either.

I have another newbie question as well. How do i set in XBMC to use AtMovies first and if it doesn't find anything use Yahoo.tw. Right now I have to manually click each file and click "Set Content" to choose the Yahoo.tw scraper to rescan again.

Iceman77:

I tested my scraper with your situation. For the 千杯不醉, I can download movie plot and outline correctly. However, for the poster and fanarts, they can't downloaded because the movie details on AtMovies' website do not includes IMDB links. My scraper uses IMDB links to download poster's and fanarts from TMDB. So in order to download thems, first, the movie should have an IMDB link on AtMovies' website. Second, the movie must have poster/fanarts on TMDB. I also tried 女人本色 and it looks like the same.

I think this issue can be fix by some way around for more flexibility. I will try to improve it as possible as I can.

For your last question, you can set preferred scrapers in XBMC' system setting. In that way if you can' download movie data with your movie scraper, XBMC will download them with preferred scraper.

I just tried installing this and I get the "dependencies not met" error... is there a fix available? Thanks.

until the author responds, you can edit the addon.xml and make the common.moviedb import require version 1.0.7, not 1.2.0. 1.2.0 never even existed.

Dear jonlai9:

Please install/update the latest version moviedb and imdb scrapers, I think it would work with the current version of them.

Cheers
