Good Morning
The same problem here, some movies info are not scraped correctly.
Missing actors, especially with multiple titles movies.
Maybe Olympia will manage to repair soon, this for IMDB addon!
Thank you.

Did you try to read the other messages in this thread?
I believe this thread itself has the instructions to update the IMDB scrapper, both for Dharma and Camelot.

I read, maybe I overlooked. You could have just as easily help me fix my problem instead of telling me to read the thread.

So I've updated my imdb.xml as described in the thread. However--two things:
For Runtime, it now only downloads the runtime as a number, not as a string; this means that it downloads "132" instead of "132 min", for example. I edited the datatype in the imdb.xml from ([0-9]*) to [.[^<:]*), that allowed it to get "132 min".
For cast...it downloads the ENTIRE cast...even when their role is listed as "Uncredited". How do you get listed in the credits, if your roll is technically called "Uncredited" anyway? The reason I dislike this strongly is that I have a very large media library, and looking at the database by actor in XBMC takes irritatingly long to load, and is heavily dominated by no-name actors or people with roles such as "Man in background" and "Woman Driving Car"; I really don't need a 120-person cast list for a film with 15 speaking roles. How do I disable the scraper from downloading "fullcredits" and have it only download the more relevant, shorter list of actors that appears on the main search page on imdb for a given movie?
Of course, if anyone wants to write a Netflix scraper to replace the IMDB scraper, that would be pretty cool...

Thanks for the quick response. Hmm...guess i'll keep editing them manually (ugh). I forgot to mention that it downloads every studio associated with it, like including 35 different international distributors; I set repeat to "no" in the .xml file to prevent it from grabbing all but the first-listed studio.
In Dharma does it add the " min" part in "132 min" in the info automatically then, meaning, it's done in XBMC itself and not in the nfo? Otherwise I don't quite understand the reason to have made the change; no units looks less polished.
