Revision History

Hi! Sorry for the delay...

Problem not solved for the French poster (actual poster is now displayed in main browser though) and i have another problems
In the poster tab, there's the "no posters found for this movie" that remain and if i scrape a movie, it only scrape english data and not french... but if i do a rescrape only on plot, i get the french one. Heres my folder and main Browser tab and my scraper tab preference options...

Hi @vbat99,
I haven't used Media Companion in a while.
I use to get ratings like this after scraping:


Now I'm getting this:

My settings are like this:

Why is this greyed out?
Is this why I'm not getting the Metacritic and Tomatometer ratings any more?
Any help would be appreciated.

You need a OMDBAPI key set in Preferences -> Common tab, once a key is set, then the options in Movie Preferences Scraper tab will be enabled.

Hi @vbat99,
Thanks for responding
I totally forgot about the key that I need to insert.
I did that and this is what I'm getting now:


Tomato Critics there there is no actual votes. Also, Metacritic is still not scraping.
Any ideas what the problem could be?
Thanks

Its been a minute since I last looked at the code for ratings, and I see there is an issue with IMDb passing back Metacritic data.

I will have to investigate and get this fixed.

Thanks very much

Looked into this, and you may need to reset your languages.
Try changing all languages to English, then click apply and close, then go back into preferences and change them back to French.

Good luck

PS - there is actually a Image language fix in place for the next release, you may need to wait for the next release of MC to fix this issue.

If I make changes to file already in my database and I strip or add sub-titles from the MKV file... can I have MC rebuild the nfo file without changing any of the other existing information?
I have some files I need to do this to but don't want it changing my genres, plots etc. if it re-scrapes.

@huttdes

Right click on the title and select Rescrape Specific>Media Tags.

It's always a good idea to backup your .nfo, art and actor files first in case something goes wrong or you accidently select the wrong option.

Q as regards the movie filter.  I notice if I select a specific "tag" in the filter, I get all tags with the selected as a substring so selecting "subs" I get "subs" and "subsc" tags whereas I expect just "subs".  I think I tested some other text string filters and got similar results.

Hi Scott

I'll look into that, as well as fixing scraping data from IMDb which has broken...again.
