link to music scraper

If I put same address in web browser, it works all right. XBMC don't seem to get anything after that.
I tried scrap.exe after change couple of tags to run. It seems to work Ok. It makes all xml properly. I don't know why XBMC don't.

I don't think it a bug in XBMC, since other music scrapers work. Please give me some idea.

Thanks

hi,

since i don't read korean it's hard for me to locate the source where you found the form. i suspect you might need to post the form, not submit
I really appreciate your comment. I was totally lost.
I did tried "post" and it does not seem to work.
After your comment, I look at html more carefully.

From http://music.search.cyworld.com/cymusic/search.html
[HTML]<script type="text/javascript" src="http://music.cyworld.com/common/cybgm_snb_script.asp?query=&v=1"></script>
[/HTML]

From http://music.cyworld.com/common/cybgm_snb_script.asp

[HTML] + ' <form name="search" id="search" autocomplete="off" action="http://music.search.cyworld.com/cymusic/search.html">'
+ ' <p id="selectTxt" onclick="ct_toggle();">전체</p>'
+ " <input type=\"text\" class=\"text\" name=\"query\" id=\"query\" onclick=\"ac_toggle(this);\" maxlength=\"100\" onKeyPress=\"if( event.keyCode == 13 ) { go_search(); return false; }\" title=\"검색어 입력\" value=\"\" onblur=\"toggleSearchBar(0);\" onfocus=\"toggleSearchBar(1);\" />"
+ ' <input type="button" class="btn" title="검색" onclick="go_search();" />'
+ ' </form>[/HTML]

I don't know much about java script. Based on this, they don't seem to use post.
After the form. there are more java probably for ajax auto-completion which I'm not sure it matter though.
Now I gave up on previous music scraper. So I made a new one that I familiar with.

I'm trying to scrape same site as movie scraper (DAUM) that I made before.
However same thing are happening as before. I can not get search result.

Here is a part of the scraper

Code:
    <CreateAlbumSearchUrl dest="3">
        <RegExp input="$$1" output="&lt;url&gt;http://music.daum.net/search/album.do?query=\1&lt;/url&gt;" dest="3">
            <expression noclean="1"></expression>
        </RegExp>
    </CreateAlbumSearchUrl>
    <GetAlbumSearchResults dest="8" SearchStringEncoding="UTF-8">
        <RegExp input="$$5" output="&lt;results&gt;\1&lt;/results&gt;" dest="8">
            <RegExp input="$$1" output="&lt;entity&gt;&lt;artist&gt;\3&lt;/artist&gt;&lt;title&gt;\2&lt;/title&gt;&lt;url&gt;\1&lt;/url&gt;&lt;/entity&gt;" dest="5">
                <expression repeat="yes">&lt;a href=&quot;(.[^&quot;]*)&quot; class=&quot;fl&quot;&gt;(.[^\n]*)\n[^\:]*\:[^\:]*\:[^&gt;]*&gt;(.[^&lt;]*)&lt;</expression>
            </RegExp>
            <expression noclean="1"></expression>
        </RegExp>        
    </GetAlbumSearchResults>


Here is a debug log

Once again, I could get search result with the URL in debug log from firefox.

Since same kind of movie scraper daum.xml work ok, I don't know why same site with similar search URL don't work in music scraper.

http://music.daum.net/search/album.do?qu...20Album%29


If anything need to solve the problem, please let me know.

Here is a link to the scraper and a sample.
