IMDB Scraper issues
#1
Hi guys.

I've recently come from Boxee to XBMC, and I'm just mad at myself for not doing this step before Wink

However I do seem to have one problem I can't figure out.

In my movie library when using IMDB Scraper, the text of the movie title is invisible.
If I use other scrapers than IMDB, then they are showable. But I would like to have IMDB due to trailer possibility and more info regarding the movie.

A picture of my problem can be seen here:

I've looked at settings and there is not really any options which could help my problem.

I've tried to apply other skins than confluence I'm using right now, and it is still the same.

I am using the newest stable version which I installed last week from xbmc.org . And it is not the Dharma beta2.
Also using W7 64 bit.

Am I just missing a simple setting or is it an actual error?

The problem is IMDb changed their layout, thus breaking the scraper that was used in Camelot - there's quite a few posts about it, and there's even been a fixed scraper for camelot which is available in one of em - have a nosy around.

Cheers,
Jonathan

hey .. I 've been using that updated imdb scraper in my camelot xbmc.
But the movie titles have returned, but some things aren't 100%
a lot of movies that I now scrape don't return a runtime for the movie.
also .. the synopsis is now always just 1 line max. Lots of times ending with ....
checking on the imdb site ... the synopsis is always longer.
anything know what to edit in the scraper to fix this ?
