IMDB set as scraper, but movie sets are still being scraped from themoviedb?
#1
Hello

I have IMDB set as my scraper and my understand is that set info is only scraped from themoviedb when set to scrape, so why then is set info still being scraped from themoviedb when I have IMDB set as my scraper?

I thought perhaps that it's due to having the 'group movie in sets' option selected had something to do with the cross scraping (if there is such a thing), but after a search I found jmarshall advised that this option make no difference whatsoever to whether the set information is scraped or not. So while it's said that the only way to obtain set info from themoviedb is to have it set as scraper (unless things have changed recently?), I have my scraper set to IMDB but still I'm having set info scraped from themoviedb?

I do want to group movies in sets, but do not want to have set info scraped from themoviedb as I would like to create my own sets. If it is possible, how do I avoid movie set info being scraped from themoviedb please?

Thank you

You can just turn it off in the scraper settings.

You can't turn it off

If you create your own nfo files will be used instead of any info scraped from themoviedb

Set scraping is optional in the IMDb scraper. It's the third option down on the first settings page.

Ah so it seems. Weird looking description IMO.
Gonna think of a better one than that.

...or use Universal Scraper and you can set EVERYTHING, so you are in full control.
