Hi,

I'm having issues scraping a number of movies. Most of the movies scrape correctly but there are a few that don't scrape. I have tried removing from the library movies that have scraped correctly and ones that don't, and after refreshing the library, I get the same results.

A few examples of movies that don't scrape correctly:
The Fish child - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1235842/
See What I'm Saying The Deaf Entertainers Documentary (2010) - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1125387/
Journal of a Contract Killer (2008) - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1043695/

Cheers.

Since I had the same issue with file names containing "?", can you perhaps try by removing the parenthesis around the year?

[argh!]

I had that problem with a couple movies. Some were known on IMDB by alterante titles, either in English, or in another language.

The Fish Child = El niño pez
Journal of.... = Egy bérgyilkos naplója

For that doc, maybe truncated the titel, liek "See What I'm Saying" or soemthing.

Skulking around the forums I picked up this useful tidbit...scraper set for IMDB

In the information scraper... pick manual and use the IMDB# "tt1043695" without the quotes. it's exact and grabs precisely that one.. at least in Dharma 10.1

So if the IMDB has it.. you can get it.
