Videobuster (videobuster.de) German scraper broken?

Log looks fine except of the curl error. Tbh I have no idea why it fails, as it's working fine here. Sorry.

oki thx for lookin @ it vdrfan.
timmi1000 do ya have the same error in your logs ?

hm now it's getting odd, was thinking about to uninstall the videobuster scraper and re-install it
ok it's not working (option is not enabled) i thought maybe cause it's my default scraper for movies
and i need to change that setting, but the option for the settings is gone or i'm just to stupid to find it anymore now :/

The default scraper options were removed in Dharma final and moved to advancedsettings.xml.

ah ok, thx for that info really thought i was actually totally blind hehe

Hi vdrfan,

ok works now again, re-installed everything

btw vdrfan any chance to add as option to use the imdb rating instead the rating from videobuster.de (something similar like themoviedb scraper) or would that to much work to swap between both ratings internally ?

It works again after a complete reinstallation.

Hi, since this week, the Videobuster scraper don't load titles for the movie

I think something on the webside is change

Right, the site layout changed. I've just pushed the updated the scraper (version 1.1.3) to the repositories.

New version of scraper is installed and works fine.

Thanks for the very fast solution

I use videobuster since I have started to use XBMC, for me the best German scraper with the best cover images. However, since 2 or 3 weeks I have noticed problems (as described in this thread).

So I have reinstalled XBMC and videobuster yesterday evening and now the scraper is working again. However, when I initially scanned my movies (a few weeks ago), videobuster was able to identify almost 99% of my movies. Due to the reinstall (to a nightly build) I made a new scan and now the scraper identify about 65% of my movies, even when I have to admit that I did not changes any filenames.

Is there any reason for this behaves? How can I increase the hit rate?

NOTE: When renaming my movie files, I always use the videobuster website to copy / paste the exact name and year they use.

Any help to increase hit rate would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Kind regards,

Anira

UPDATE: In the meantime I figured out that it has something to do with "Umlaute" (ä, ö, ü), special character like ' and ß and length of filename. Again, I didn't had these problems at the beginning!
