IMDB - new layout

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

point your browser to http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0499549/
and copy the html source of it to pastebin.

Firefox: ctrl-u or view menu -> page source
IE: view menu -> source

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

wrong assumption, please don't mislead others.

Here - From imdb.com

Hope this helps

I was just confused as thought I'd already given it to you, was the quoted one not right?

no, it was good that you provided because now it's clear that for some very weird reason the two outputs are different. From the browser it is what we expect for the scraper, but your cache file contains unexpected tags.

Can you please delete all your cache and try again?

no intention to mislead anyone .. i just said i guess .. i leave it to the ones who know exactly what the scraper does to decide if what im saying is relevant or not

I had the same issues with the scraper and deleting ~/.xbmc/temp (Linux) has fixed things.

Ha that fixed it, cheers. I went and deleted the entire contents of XBMC\cache and everything began working like normal. Went for a hunt to see which file in particular was the culprit and it was cookies.dat that was causing most of the trouble. Deleting that and the contents of XBMC\cache\scrapers\metadata.imdb.com fixed all the problems.

Thanks for all the help on this,
Krazed

To comfirm, deleting all content in my cache folder fixed this issue also

All generic references to IMDb have now been relocated to the new Movies page.

Please let us know if you find any inappropriate references to IMDb in the wiki.

I can't get rating, Director, Writer, Genre from any movie since like a couple of updates ago. I also lost titles when scraping but they are back since 1.0.13, but I'm still missing everything else, including cast info.

My debug log: http://pastebin.com/PGE4nytp
I was scraping Iron Man 2: http://pastebin.com/dzbc7W1L

Running Windows 7 32 bits Dharma beta 1 with scraper version 1.0.13


EDIT: Cleaning the XBMC/cache folder workaround works.
