Hi, Thanks for looking at this issue. I should also add that putting the movie year between the double slashes only fixes the link for English movie releases. For foreign movies, more needs to be inserted. For example,

http://www.impawards.com/intl/france/2005/posters/douches_froides.jpg

was being scraped as

http://www.impawards.com//posters/douches_froides.jpg

EDIT: Please ignore this I have just fixed this issue.

When going in to XBMC Settings - Add-ons - Enabled Add-ons - Movie Information - Universal Movie Scraper - Configure.
In here the UMS settings for poster and fanart were enabled.

However in the individual movie Sources under Files i.e. "Movies" and "Kids Movies" folders, if I brought up the context menu and edited the source, I could see that UMS was selected as the scraper, but when looking at the UMS settings from here poster and fanart were not selected. So I have edited each movie source and turned on those options now.


Hi

I don't seem to be getting any Poster or Fanart images when adding new movie titles with the Universal Movie Scraper. I have double checked the settings and for both Posters and Fanart TheMovieDB is enabled.

I just added a new film call Jack Reacher, UMS adds it to the movie library OK, I get a synopsis and actor images etc but no Poster or Fanart are displayed.

Please see my log file:

http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=17231

Any ideas why I am not getting a poster or fanart for new movies in XBMC ?

Thanks


RE: [Release] Universal Movie Scraper - cw-kid - 2013-05-10

Hi

How should UMS behave when there are existing Folder.jpg cover images in each movies folder ?

Its seems to be acting odd and adding new posters images for some movies and not others depending on the size / dimensions of the Folder.jpg that already exists, please see here for full details and screen shots.

Many thanks.


RE: [Release] Universal Movie Scraper - cw-kid - 2013-05-12

Think I got to the bottom of the issue with existing folder.jpg's being present and why XBMC / UMS assigned new poster images for some movie titles and not others. Please see here for full description, screen shots and logs.

If UMS cannot assign new posters for all my movies if a folder.jpg is already present? Then another option would be to have Artwork Downloader create a new Poster.jpg in to each movies folder. However this doesn't seem to be working for me either when running AD in either Solo or Auto modes. It is also not creating new fanart.jpg images in these modes.

Thanks


RE: [Release] Universal Movie Scraper - SorryGoFish - 2013-05-15

The movie "The Details" (tt1433207) is being given the year 2012, not 2011. Is this a bug, or do I have a bad setting?

Thanks.

EDIT I see that it was released in the US in 2012 in box offices, but in 2011 at Sundance. I'm not sure which year should be used, but this is probably not an issue. Thanks.


RE: [Release] Universal Movie Scraper - angeldust - 2013-05-16

I don't know if that has be asked/answered before, anyway

Is it possible to grab a specific aka title for every movie and store it in the original title field (since there is no other field to store it)
The reason for that is because i want to show/know the Greek title for every movie except the International/English title.

I think that would be great for any Non English individual, to also show the tile of the movie in his/her country

Thanx!


RE: [Release] Universal Movie Scraper - wearwolf - 2013-05-16

Complete NOOB here.. so fire me later

**Here's my setup**
- Win 8 Pro
- Clean/new XBMC 12.2 Frodo install
- UMS 2.4.3
- 400++ movies stored & accessible via NAS/SMB
- NO MYSQL SETUP; this is a local PC test setup; so database and thumbs are all local pc


OK; here's what i did, i read the first 20 or so pages of this forum; got abit tedious after that. i jumped to the last 10 pages. Nada. no mention regarding casts (or i read too damn fast for my own sake)

Checked the changelog.txt; OK, there was something mentioned of a modification in [Cast] in ver. 2.1.0; but no details there

Checked [universal.xml] , [addon.xml] and [settings.xml]. looked for the keyword [cast] but couldnt find anything useful


So here's the problem i'm having; why is UMS/IMDB the cast-list to only 15pax max? Every random movie i test the cast list max's at 15. Am i missing something somewhere here? Dont get me wrong; not many people may pay attention to the cast list; but when you've got something like Black Hawk Down, The Hobbit and LOTR with a MAJOR cast list bigger than 15 pax; you'd want the whole list to be downloaded and linked with any other movies....

So.. me .. ask-ie.. help-ie.. please? Huh Somebody? Anybody?

UPDATE : Aww screw it! Its a real [FACE-PALM] moment! You're all welcome to [B****-SLAP] me later! I was working under the assumption that there was only the options of TMDB or IMDB for the [CAST] in the settings. I DID NOT KNOW that there was another IMDBfull option for the complete cast list. The answer was in this forum page 32... i stopped somewhere in the mid-20's pages before my eyes screamed sleep...... MY BAD!!!


RE: [Release] Universal Movie Scraper - adrock0211 - 2013-05-18

Is there still no way for the tomatometer with percentages to be shown on the screen? I have been trying to get rottentomatos percentage and tomatometer ratings on XBMC since the beginning and have never been able to find a solution.


RE: [Release] Universal Movie Scraper - olympia - 2013-05-19

Tomatometer is there, no? It's not percentage and only shown in the movie info screen, but it's there.


Files with Russian names are not scraped - mishka2000 - 2013-05-19

Windows 7, XBMC 12.1, Aeon Nox 4.0
Universal Movie Scrapper 2.4.3 set up to get titles from themoviedb.org, preferred title language is "ru".
Folder name is "Вспомнить все (2012)", there is a file inside named "Вспомнить все (2012)" and two folders: extrafanart and extrathumbs
themoviedb.org has an entry for this file: http://www.themoviedb.org/search?language=ru&query=Вспомнить%20все

Scrapping process fails when trying both folder or file.
TMDb scrapper scraps this file without any problems, but I would like to use Universal Movie Scrapper..

Please help...

Yes, the rating does match what rottentomatos has...for instance, if the movie is rated 83% on RT then the rating under the info section says 8.3 but what I have been hoping for is a more graphical rating with the percentage, just like on the RT website. I guess this mod doesn't really exist yet. Thanks.

How about this problem ? Any possible workarounds apart from moving to TMDb scrapper ?


RE: [Release] Universal Movie Scraper - olympia - 2013-05-21

Set Universal Scraper to use the search engine of themoviedb.org.

(other than that, use sane folder/file names and you will not be facing with such problems).


RE: [Release] Universal Movie Scraper - mishka2000 - 2013-05-21

Well, I did configured Universal Scraper to get titles from themoviedb.org - just like I mentioned in the original post. It fails to find the title, while the official TMDb scraper finds that movie without any problems. What can that be ? Maybe you're using a malformed URL when querying themoviedb.org site, e.g. you've forgot to add "language=ru" into string ?

What do you mean by "using sane folder/file names" ? English ones ? But I have hundreds of folders/files named in Russian, should I start translating all of them ?

Can you please try to recreate the problem with names I've supplied ?


RE: [Release] Universal Movie Scraper - olympia - 2013-05-21

I was not talking about configuring Universal Scraper to get titles from themoviedb.org, rather than set it to use themoviedb.org's search engine, no? So it is not me who was not reading your original post, but you who didn't read mine.

These are two different things. By default Universal Scraper uses IMDb as search engine and still can get title from themoviedb.org.

...and yes, I meant English folder/file names. Probably I am too conservative, but using Russian (or any other internatonal) chars in file names is just not healthy for me (...and you could still get the title in Russian in XBMC of course).
