Is it possible? Any modified scraper is available?

The TMDB scrap is very nice for multi lang, but the votes of movies are irrelevant, is any way to grabble votes from IMDB?

Thanks

I like using TMDB as well but also feel the votes are irrelevant. I'm interested in this idea too.

I asked for it for a while, then I tried to do it myself, but then I ended up switching to imdb scraper altogether and I couldn't be happier. It has everything the tmdb scraper has plus much more. It fills the info screen completely for most movies unlike tmdb that only filled half the fields in T!

just my 2c

moviemeter scraper has an option to use the IMDB ratings instead. I don't know, but maybe someone could port this to tmdb scraper to achieve this?

Can someone make it for us? The regex is done in moviemeter, ptgate and more scrapers. I don't have any experience in this area. I even tried, but without success.

Thanks

Done.

Update to scraper version 1.2.0 and check scraper settings.

There's a bug in this, when you enable IMDB ratings but the movie om tMDb has no IMDB ID the fanart and posters fail to download.

Here's an example of a movie without IMDB ID: http://www.themoviedb.org/movie/51837

I've created a ticket: http://trac.xbmc.org/ticket/10986

Just because I don't want to me a new thread:

Has anyone been having problems with TMDB recently?

The website is really slow to load, and sometimes doesn't load at all. When I scrape for covers and fanart in XBMC, about a third of my movies come out without fanart and/or covers. If I clear the library and do it again, the same thing happens, but it's not the same movies. Is anyone else having trouble loading TMDB, or is this just some strange problem on my side?

I checked http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ and most of the time it says TMDB is up, but every once in a while it says it's down.
