UMM sees this folder:
Guard, The (2011)
as a different movie:
Guard The House!
but viMM gets it right.

Probably viMM uses the search engine of themoviedb.org because IMDb doesn't give a good result for this movie. (you can switch to this search engine in UMS as well).

Will try switching to that search engine. Hopefully it does not mess up on other movies.

In meantime, some more problems... first with this folder, which contains a VIDEO_TS folder:

Gone with the Wind (1939) DISC1

is relabeled "VIDEOS" and given the description "This film 'Affects' is about the effects for children by domestic violence...", appears to be this movie: http://www.imdb.com/video/wab/vi2986059033/

Same thing with this one, which is handled the same:

Gone with the Wind (1939) DISC2

Same problem remains if I rename these folders like this:

Gone With The Wind (1939).cd1
Gone With The Wind (1939).cd2

Same Problem remains if I reorganize like this:

Gone With The Wind (1939)
-- cd1
---- VIDEO_TS
-- cd2
---- VIDEO_TS

Also, these movies are skipped:

Jazz Icons - Dexter Gordon Live in '63 and '64 (2007)
Stax - Volt Revue Live In Norway 1967 (2007)

None of these problems with viMM.
I have the UMS set to enable all three trailer options, but am seeing trailers working for only about 30% of the 170 movies in my library.

Is this normal?

Probably not.

This is just strenghtening my feeling viMM uses the search engine of themoviedb.org. These movies don't exist at all on imdb.com and UMS uses imdb.com by default for searching, then jumps on the other sites. Again, you can configure UMS to use the search engine of themoviedb.org instead of the default IMDb.

As for the rest of your problems with stacking and video_ts folders: it doesn't matter if viMM recognizes them if XBMC doesn't. This is again not a scraper thing. You should look at the wiki how to handle those structures to make XBMC to recognize them.
I've already set UMS to use themoviedb.org, deleted all NFO files, removed my movie source, added it back in, and re-scanned the entire library. I don't think that's the issue here.

It appears a big part of the problem is that some trailers are being set like this:

http://playlist.yahoo.com/makeplaylist.d...=131463226
http://playlist.yahoo.com/makeplaylist.d...=132172859
http://playlist.yahoo.com/makeplaylist.d...=132118273 [Searching for Sugarman]

instead of like these:

plugin://plugin.video.youtube/?action=play_video&videoid=_NV45ZuepZo
plugin://plugin.video.youtube/?action=play_video&videoid=jhrtPyr1KQI

The former never works, the latter always does.

A manual search on themoviedb.org for "Searching For Sugar Man" leads me to this trailer:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QL5TffdOQ7g

A manual search on imdb.com for "Searching For Sugar Man" leads me to this trailer:

http://www.imdb.com/video/imdb/vi3009389..._=tt_ov_vi

But my database contains this URL:

http://playlist.yahoo.com/makeplaylist.d...=132118273

So, who is formatting these inconsistently? Again, I have no NFO files any more, and UMS is my movie scraper, and it's getting its data from themoviedb.org, and I've done a full purge and rebuild.

ummmm... hd-trailer.net trailer scraping got broken. You mentioned you set all sources for trailer scraping and trailer links from hd-trailers.net gets priority over trailer links from themoviedb.org.

I will need to look at the hd-trailers.net trailer scraping, please disable it in the scraper settings till I find (or not) a solution.
Appearantly it seems trailer links on hd-trailers.net are not valid any more due to some yahoo changes. Moreover I can't find the trailers for movies (couple of years old) directly on yahoo trailers either. It seems yahoo removed them?
It appears there was bad scraper data coming from hd-trailers.net. Bad URLs no longer appear when I disable it. Seems like this option should be removed?

One thing remains unclear: what's the order of trailer sources? In other words if i check "enable trailers from trakt.tv" will that get tried only if themoviedb.org fails to find a trailer?
Hi,

I've been using XBMC since a few days and use the Universal Movie Scraper to build up my library and its working great so far... I've been searching around some issues I've been having, but havn't found an anwser to them:
  • Is it possible to correct an incorrectly matched movie? For example from the File "Candy (2006)" the UMS detects the movie Candy Stripers (2006), I've tried to rename it again but for some reason the UMS sticks with this one instead of the obvious Candy (2006). Is there a way to somehow force an IMDB value? Or select from possible matches with user interaction if UMS is unsure which title is best?
  • Is there a way to distinguish between different version of a movie and display this in the library? For example Blade Runner (1982) [Theatrical Cut], Blade Runner (1982) [Director's Cut], Blade Runner (1982) [Final Cut]?
  • Is it possible to edit the set definitions provided after scraping? I really like the idea but there are a lot of sets where only one movie exists in the library and there aren't even any sequels made.. so I don't understand the need for a set there. Or is it possible to flatten the grouping in sets if there is only one movie present in the set? If I only own the first Matrix movie, I wouldn't need it to be residing in a set.
  • Could UMS put a tag on Movies where it couldn't find a match from in IMDB? For example "No Match"... it would make it

If I've overlooked some information regarding this I'm sorry. As I said I'm fairly new to XBMC and these were just the things I couldn't get answers on.

It will be removed if no fix is possible.

The priority of the sources are always the same as the order they appear in the settings.
Hi all,
I am new to XBMC (I have a RaspBMC on a Raspberry, actually), everything works ok except that I have a problem with the titles extracted by the Universal Movie Scraper. I am Italian, I have Italian movies, with the filenames in Italian, but the UMS extracted english titles.
Since it could be a mistake of mine (I didn't provide the "preferred language" initially), I removed the source of my movies and re-did the scraping (this time, setting "Italian" as the preferred language).

What is really strange is that I have the titles in English, but the movie description and even the cover is in Italian!
Is it possible to have Italian titles? How? I also tried to set "leave the filename as titles" in the scraper settings, but it didn't work.
odds are high you didn't set the preferred language for title. You can set the language separately for most of the database items (e.g. Title, Plot, Poster, etc.).
How can I set the language separately? From the configuration panel I can only set one "preferred language".
you are not using the Universal Scraper then.

when I choose the scraper from the right box, I have only "Universal Media Scraper" as item... what do you mean when you say "I am not using the Universal Scraper"?
