I am having problems with TMDB scraper.

The television scraper works, but TMDB scraper fails to connect.

The system is Ubuntu 14.04 and I am using Kodi 15.0 Isengard.

My kodi.log file is here:

Interestingly, when I attempt to wget the address http://api.tmdb.org/3/search/movie?api_k...anguage=en as mentioned in the logfile, I get a 404 error from machine hosting Kodi, as demonstrated here: http://pastebin.com/5QjiVBPX

Opening it in a web browser on a windows machine on the same network seems to work fine. Opening it in lynx on the machine in question also seems to work, prompting me to download a gzipped file.

Hi all,

I detected an issue with the Movie Database Scraper v. 3.8.2. The overview field from the output sometimes contains null instead of a proper quoted value. The regular expression specifically looks for a value (even an empty string) within quotes, therefore while there can be many results, the actual <results> output is empty since all RegExps choke on the overview field.

TMDB Json output:

Code:

{"page":1,"results":[{"adult":false,"backdrop_path":"/jX2jBeq0uS5h2LYpIr53eU6YJxN.jpg","genre_ids":[28,35],"id":9256,"original_language":"sv","original_title":"Kopps","overview":null,"release_date":"2003-02-06","poster_path":"/7p5Zxsre6WpYxtoGmCAB17Z8vjt.jpg","popularity":1.390565,"title":"Kopps","video":false,"vote_average":6.2,"vote_count":13}],"total_pages":1,"total_results":1}

Scraper RegExp:

Code:

<expression repeat="yes">&quot;id&quot;:([0-9]*),&quot;original_language&quot;:&quot;[^&quot;]*&quot;,&quot;original_title&quot;:&quot;([^&quot;]*)&quot;,&quot;overview&quot;:&quot;.*?&quot;,&quot;release_date&quot;:&quot;([0-9]+)-.*?&quot;title&quot;:&quot;([^&quot;]*)</expression>

Fixed expression (note: all backreferences need to be updated):

Code:

<expression repeat="yes">&quot;id&quot;:([0-9]*),&quot;original_language&quot;:&quot;[^&quot;]*&quot;,&quot;original_title&quot;:&quot;([^&quot;]*)&quot;,&quot;overview&quot;:(&quot;.*?&quot;|null),&quot;release_date&quot;:&quot;([0-9]+)-.*?&quot;title&quot;:&quot;([^&quot;]*)</expression>

you have an old version. It's at least 3.8.4 now

[therealpecus]

Thanks, I missed that (I am still on Eden due to the dependency on the old Apple TV silver, so I don't get updates)

[Martijn]

you can manually download them if they might still be compatible

You may need other updates as well

Is this still an issue? I seem to have it. Clean install of Isengard, and TMDB will not pull any info for my movies (TV shows are fine). It scans through the folder and finds the files no problem, but it will not pull any info.

I have the same problem.
I have kodi helix 14.0 with TMDB 3.8.5...

I have the same problem.
I have kodi helix 14.0 with TMDB 3.8.5...

I managed to get mine working. I did a complete uninstall and reinstall (being sure to tick the box to remove user info), but I think the real issue was windows firewall. I don't recall it popping up asking for permission for Kodi the first time I installed, but it did the second time. Works perfect now.

Im having problems at the moment, the scraper works fine?

Having problems as well.

I have problems as well, it won't fetch any information currently.
I don't know it it's related, but even the Universal Movie Scraper seems to not be able to fetch TMDB information like plot, title, ... in my preferred language (german).

[DAlba]

same here. i checked the TMDB forum and someone said its an issue on their end and they sent info to kodi developers already

[D-m-x]

Thanks, I was going nuts, I had to delete my Database this morning und wanted to add it again after work. Tried for half an hour to fetch data, I thought it would be on my end ^^
Some Movies worked, don't know why, I'm also scraping German btw.

Made an account specially to post the issue, but now that I see there's more with the same I'm guessing there has been a change again
Then nothing left to do but patiently wait for a update

For info: The TV scraper works fine, it's the movie scraper that doesn't seem to do anything currently.

I was believing I have to old release of Kodi but upgrade to last release didn't fix the issue.
I am happy to see that I am not the only one facing this issue but not happy to face it
