Hi all,
I just checked IMDB for one movie, and recognized that the layout has been changed a little bit. Then using IMDB scrapper to get information for some new added movies, I can see that some information could not be gotten (ie Title etc...). I believe IMDB needs some updates in order to work properly with the new layout.
Thanks,
D.

Suggesting some movies that have this feature (and even better, some filenames or URL links to those movies) might be helpful, in case there is someone out there willing to work on the scraper.
This is why we recommend themoviedb - it doesn't change arbitrarily like this.

What movies does this happen with? Just did a scan with some movies that came out in 2010 and everything was fine. Using Dharma Beta 1 with the IMDB scraper.

Wow...
Glad I saw this topic so I know I am not losing my mind.
This same thing happened to me a couple days ago when I added 2 new movies to my setup.
They were missing the titles and some basic media flag info.
Here are the movies in question though I dont think its relevant as they are old titles....
The Princess Bride
Fast Times at Ridgemont High
I am using AppleTV.
Obviously something going on with the IMDB scrape that may need a look.
EDIT... Should have also added that the plot info, cover and fan art came through OK, but the TITLES were completely missing along with some basic media flags.
