Universal scraper says its broken, IMDB scraper is no longer there and TMDB scraper also says broken. Is there another one I should be using? I downloaded the lastest nightly after having this on the beta version I was running. What is everyone using to scrape movies?

I figured it out after posting, apparently you have to go into change content for movies instead of get addons where everything is listed as broken.

I'm getting the same thing, I can't get ANY scraper to work since IMDB went away! I tried to uninstall, reinstall, I waited for xbmc 12,2 hoping for a fix, but NOTHING! I have 1000 movies and I just keep getting the message "could not download information" when I force a scan. my tv shows scrap just fine but my movies arent even on the xbmc desktop!!! I don't know what to do! I'm currently using boxee until I get a fix, but its just not the same...
I can play my movies in xbmc thru the "videos" and go to files but i still don't have the old option of MOVIES that I had like tv shows and pictures

As I said, you must go to change content to get the scrapers to work.

You don't choose 'Change content' on individual movies, but on your sources. Highlight your movie source, hit C, it should then be in the context menu. Are your scrapers still showing as broken in the add-ons settings section?

imdb one has been broken long time ago and you should not use that as an individual scraper
