This is not a scraper mistake. If you search for John Q in the filmaffinity webpage it isn't into the 20 first entries. That's not my mistake if filmaffinity search is so bad. I can test if searching the movies in google instead of filmaffinity can do better but nothing else more.

You are right, the fault is in the filmaffinity search system.

I already know how to do the google searches. But I can't test if conditionals can be in every scraper functions (I think it would).
The second thing (button one) is impossible. Why? Because the button is hardly coded into XBMC and there's no way to create a button without changing XBMC code. I'll ask the developers if there's any way to make a search more results or try to do it by myself but I don't know C++

I think that is easier than this.
filmaffinity does automatically a google search if the movie cannto be found.
For example, if you search for "John Q (2002)", automatically does a google search and the first matching is just the movie you are looking for.
So, we don't need to add a new parameter, we only need to parse also this search result.
What do you thing MadDogo?

I think that the google searches are a new feature and I think (I didn't test it) that google results are parsed correct, because the urls are in filmaffinity style (I don't know how to test it, if anyone know how please tell me and I'll made the necesary changes).
But that is not what fidoboy wants. He wants a way to change search engines (filmaffinity and google) to avoid Batman '66 problems for example. I didn't think if that's possible at all because the results parser can't be search engine dependent, it will be the same for both.

Hello, we have XBMC 10.0 Beta3 r34730 + Transparency 3.10.0 with Filmaffinity 1.3.2
All information downloaded work ok until a few days ago.
Now the "Get Fanarts" from any movie are not download any more. The rest of information like mini Thumbs,Trailers,Cast,rating, etc is OK
What can i do?
Thanks!

I need to know why is this happening, and if I don't have the debug log I can't do anything.
Please post the debug log to some site like pastebin and then I'll try to fix it.
Thank you.

First of all, please update to 10.1 to have a stable version and not an old beta.
Then I have no problem with fanarts (tried with other movies not London Boulevard). Maybe a TMDB website issue?
