IMDB - new layout

A fresh debug log would be greatful.

...also page source (ctrl-u in firefox) of an affected imdb page to pastebin would be even more greatful.

okay, there you go...

I scraped the movie "The Hurt Locker" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0887912/).

Since I had "scan library on startup" on, I removed some lines, reporting about not refreshing info for old files...

Debug Log: http://pastebin.com/bWTT3g8p
HTML Source: http://pastebin.com/Fg4KsvqW

Info about the director, writer and cast is missing.

New Debug Log

Here - From imdb.com
Here - From /XBMC/cache/scrapers/metadata.imdb.com/<id>-credits.html

Hope this helps

Its just so weird that some people are getting this while others aren't, I am on the same build you guys are and no issues here what so ever, hopefully the debug log will shed some light on this.

This is why we recommend themoviedb - it doesn't change arbitrarily like this.

Jmarshall, first post on this forum, but I have been reading it for a while... I love your software and have been experimenting with it for a couple of months now.

I, like some of the others, have started experiencing this problem and will probably end up moving to TMDB now that I have seen the clean-ness of their interface...

But I would also like to ask if you can update the wiki sections you have on scraper settings... The reason that I chose to use the IMDB scraper for 500+ movies is because your wiki on scrapers recommends to use that because:

Quote:For movies, the IMDb scraper will give the best results for most users. The other available scrapers are for example scrapers for different languages and adult movies, ie. porn.

I am sure that was written long before TMDB existed, but it would help to change that as relative newcomers (for me a few months) are wary of posting any sort of questions on the forums until we have read all available documentation first.

Again, just constructive criticism, LOVE XBMC!

Give me a link to the particular page and I'll update it.

Alternatively, you can update it as well - it's "your" wiki as much as it is "mine"

Cheers,
Jonathan

hmmmm... interesting...
could you please also copy the same html source from a browser to pastebin?

Sorry I'm a bit lost. What is it you want the source of?

i guess it does that with all movies, only the movies that happen to have an nfo file for them appear to have the movie name (which i guess is being read from the nfo file and not from imdb)

i myself like imdb because of the cast info which is sometimes a nice feature to search by actors
