I've just upgraded from 10.0 to 11.0 and re-scraped my entire library. However, some of my movies in the format Movie.1962.1080p.Bluray.x264-GROUP doesn't get scraped. The problem is the scraper includes the search "movie+1962" when searching TMDB, and in some cases doesn't find any results.

I'm fairly sure this was not a problem in 10.0 (or 9.0, etc.)
(I know you can use the nfo-file trick, but I'd rather not have to check the debug log every time I scrape new movies to see if XBMC missed some.)

Example:
19:57:51 T:3026164592 DEBUG: VideoInfoScanner: Scanning dir 'smb://JOHANNES-SERV/D/HD/Death.Proof.2007.1080p.BluRay.x264-1920/' as not in the database

Any suggestions/info?

Try putting the year in brackets.

I'm not sure if I follow you, are you thinking of the file/foldername?
If so, it will most likely work, but not entirely sure if it's a long-term solution for me

The issue will be the "1920" part of the folder name, it will be misreading that as the year and is passing both 2007 and 1920 as the year and not finding any results.

If you change it from Death.Proof.2007.1080p.BluRay.x264-1920 to Death.Proof.2007.1080p.BluRay.x264 it should work fine.

Yeah, I've kinda figured the "1920" part is the problem, although I've found other examples that also causes problems.
I'm a bit curious though, what have changed in the scraper since 10.0 that makes this a problem now?
As you might understand, I'd rather not renameany of the folders/filenames

So if I'm not able to fix/edit the scraper, I'll probably have to use the .nfo-trick.

Another example:

19:58:02 T:3026164592 DEBUG: VideoInfoScanner: Scanning dir 'smb://JOHANNES-SERV/D/HD/I.Love.You.Phillip.Morris.2009.1080p.BluRay.x264-CiNEFiLE/' as not in the database
19:58:02 T:3026164592 DEBUG: scraper: CreateSearchUrl returned <url>http://api.themoviedb.org/3/search/movie?api_key=57983e31fb435df4df77afb854740ea9&query=i%20love%20you%20phillip%20morris+2009&language=en</url>

In this case it's due to the fact TMDB having the flick listed as a 2010-release.

You could remove the check for the year in the tmdb scraper (it's not too hard), but it would mean films that need to be distinguished by year would have to be manually fixed, and also the change would be lost whenever the scraper updates.

I'm not near my Dharma machine, so can't test - but I don't think Death.Proof.2007.1080p.BluRay.x264-1920 would have scraped correctly on that.

As far as I Love You Phillip Morris, if TMDB has it listed as 2010 and you are passing 2009 as this year it will fail and this ins't xbmc's fault. You need to get them to update their year of release.
