[DEPRECATED]Rotten Tomatoes ratings scraper

FreakinAye Wrote:Boo. Such an awesome scraper but all my media has NFOs (new ones with just an imdb link) and is stored in a shared mysql db. it doesn't look like there is any way this can work for me?

The scraper uses the same Nfo retrieval as the Team XBMC IMDb scraper. If you want, you can set the scraper as IMDb + RT on your movies source and refresh the info on one of your movies. I imagine it will work.

EDIT: Just updated to 1.3.7 to match Team XBMC's scraper changes i.e. "fixed: missing imdb ID in search results due to site changes"

Mortstar, this addon sounds awesome -- however, I can't get it to work for some odd reason. IMDB+RT installs and scrapes fine, for everything BUT the RT ratings. The logs even seem to show it grab everything fine from RT except for the ratings:

It seems to throw "Unable to parse web site" when trying to grab RT ratings. Any clue what might be going on?

Platform is Windows, XBMC is the latest nightly build as of 3 nights ago, using default Confluence skin.

If there's some way to debug this offline with you, let me know -- it would be appreciated!

I don't think this is unique to me -- I tried another computer with a fresh install of the last official stable release and see the same problem.

However, it ONLY fails if set to Tomatometer + All Critics.

These work fine: Tomato + Top, Average + All, Average + Top.

Figured it out.

In rt.xml, the two lines that have this:

---
<expression noclean="1">v:average&quot;&gt;.*?([0-9]+).*?count&quot;&gt;([0-9]+)</expression>
---

Need to change to:

---
<expression noclean="1">&quot;all-critics-numbers&quot;.*?([0-9]+).*?Count&quot;&gt;([0-9]+)</expression>
---

Everything works fine now!

Thanks for the heads-up freakshow, looks like RottenTomatoes have changed their website and so broken the ratings scraping. I've not had a lot of free time since your post to look in to this, but I'll try and get a fix done today.

EDIT: Just seen your fix, that'll save me plenty of time - good man Smile

EDIT 2: Common scraper functions are now grabbing the proper values again.

This is a nice plugin. Would it be possible to have the "Audience" rating option, too? Personally, I value the RottenTomato's audience ratings more than the critics' ratings.

Hi Pete

I did contemplate this, but the option to use IMDb ratings is within the scraper. Isn't this the same data as what you are asking but with a bigger sample?

Hmm... depending on the particular movie, there is often a sizable difference between the two. Take "MacGruber" for example. IMDB gave it 5.4 while RT audience gave it 3.4 (34%).

I've grown accustomed to deciding what I want to watch based on RT audience ratings. But maybe I'm the only one.

It'd be really cool if the scraper could pull and display both RT critics and RT audience ratings side by side, but now I'm probably just pushing it. Big Grin

Agree with that.
Would like to see that feature too (or at least the option to choose the audience ratings as the primary)

Been a while coming (I've had an extremely busy month In-Real-Life) but I've eventually got around to updating the addon with the Team XBMC changes to the IMDb scraper. Meaning now there is the ability to link directly to a YouTube trailer.

I'll look into adding Audience rating scraping from the RottenTomatoes website when I get the time, though I'm not wholly convinced that it offers anymore meaningful information than the IMDb user score (General audience rating with a greater sample size = more representative score)

Over the weekend I updated with Team XMBC's scraper changes as IMDb changed their website and genre, country, director and writer weren't scraping properly. They should all be working now.

Do you still get this issue? Are you sure you are using IMDb+RT?

Hi,

First off, awesome scraper, thanks for all the work. I have set the options to scrape UK ratings, if I log in to the database it is grabbing UK rating however, I am using Aeon Nox and it requires them to be stored in the database as UKTongueG (for example). If I manually change the entry to include the 'UK:' then it works, without doing this it displays 'NR'. My questions, one is this a known problem and two is there a work around (other than making local changes to the add-on code)

If I understand correctly, as of Eden, the basic IMDb scraper automatically does movie sets. Is that on the horizon for this scraper as well?

I hope so. I'd love to have that feature, but I find the RT scraping so fantastically preferable, that there's no way I'd ever switch back.

I'll see what I can rustle up. Personally I just want the UK rating without anything else as the skin I use just displays the text value. As this is set by skin-authors on an adhoc basis (and there really isn't a consensus that I know about) everybody wants something different.

I'm thinking an option where you can specify a string to prepend to the rating data scrapped from IMDb would be the best solution.

I'm pretty sure this is only available in TheMovieDB scraper...I'll have a look if I can get this data out.
