I'll try to translate:

There is a problem with the Filmaffinity.es scraper that get "blank" information for the movies when the search result is one only movie. It only happens when the search found only one movie that matches the movie string.

The house-made solution that itombs found is the following:

on the filmaffinity xml we have to find this line: (line number about 40)

Code:

<RegExp dest="3" input="$$1" output="&lt;url&gt;http://www.filmaffinity.com/es/search.php?stext=\1&amp;amp;[b]stype=title[/b]&lt;/url&gt;">

and change the string "stype=title" for "stype=none"
Save the file and now the scraper is working perfect, no matter the number of results in searchs.

I would be great to add this little modification to the xml file for new versions.

Regards!

PD: Sorry for my poor english. I hope you can understand me :o

and this is confirmed working? then i'll change it in svn. and yes, i understand. if scraper has a single match, we get no title. the fix is to change the search type to avoid the redirect to the movie page

I am using the "fixed version" some days ago and the problem with the "only one found" is solved. Now the fields are filled correctly.

NOTE: I use the "spanish version" of the scraper.

Regards!
