It would be good if the app had list of torrents providers, otherwise it gets confused with movies downloaded from torrents. For example:
Calvary.2014.720p.BluRay.x264.YIFY - app thinks that YIFY is part of movie name
12 Years a Slave[2013] DVDScr XviD-SaM[ETRG] - here [ETRG] is detected as a name
Contracted 2013 720p BRRip x264 AC3-JYK - here JYK

I think it's not hard, especially, that just dozen of organisations publishes most of movies on the internet.
From https://kickass.so/ideabox/show/top-10-t...uploaders/
ETTV, EZTV, yify, piratepedia, DDR, HON3Y, MAFIAKING, tomcat12, xredm, ANOXMOUS, HON3Y, GeekRG, anoxmous, YTS, PUBLIC HD, Horrible Subs, stylishah, PublicHD

Better and regularly updated list is here: https://kickass.so/community/show/truste...t-updated/

Please add regexp that if such a name is AFTER the year of movie release, then should be ignored. It would be nice if users could edit this list too. Currently I have to edit all new movies names manually, otherwise MediaElch[/b] cannot find them in database.

Go to MediaElchs settings and put the list of words to ignore in "Words to exclude from media names" Wink
lol, so at least I have suggested which other words to add by default Smile
With the Music scarping, it would be better if "extrafanart" is not automatic rename (fanart1 fanart2 fanart...).

Using fanart.tv original hashes name would allow MediaElech to do a check to see if there any duplicate (ie. already downloaded) via filenames and skip the downloading.

By example:

The problem is that it doesn't show the poster information.

http://www.adultempire.com/previews/1723...ml#preview

I have the idea that your scraper is expecting the next link:
http://imgs1.adultempire.com/products/83/1723383h.jpg

Perhaps the website did change the source a little bit.

I know how to solve the problem by hand.

And add the poster by hand too.
Built For Speed-poster.jpg

But that's very time consuming.
Two days past, no response?
I know my question was about adult movies, but this scraper does seam to be a solution for adult movies.

Edit :
The hotmovies scraper hasn't been working for months, the last updates didn't change that.
@Komet

can you please implement a button or a setting to delete every artwork that is not referenced by the mediaelch setting

for example:

delete poster.jpg because mediaelch settings say file will be named <baeFileName>-poster.jpg

that could solve a lot of problems...thx in advance

This sounds very much like a 'Clean Up' feature.
Personally I think it might be wise to have a user entered list of files to clean up, because it's quite a dangerous operation and could accidentally delete other files.

The user entered list might possibly allow regex, or wildcards.
...or 'easy solution' ... move obsolete files to <moviedir>/obsolete instead of deletion.
I've run into an issue scraping some artists and albums.

Searching for artists such as +44 or ¡Mayday! it fails to find them unless you search for 44 or Mayday then choose the correct one from the results then the problem becomes searching for their albums since it doesn't seem to like the characters in front of the artist name.
hi,

i hope you can help me. when i edit a movie in mediaelch and update kodi then the movie gets removed and added again. metadata like genre etc. change, but the poster is still the old one.

what am i doing wrong.

this is what the folder looks like and in there is the new art, but not in kodi

thanks very much for your help
@ cbierwirth

Welcome to Wrong (stuck) artwork in XBMC\Kodi. There is even a thread in this same forumg (Texture Cache) regarding this problem.

But instead of reading that huge thread, try this.

1. Highlight the movie in XBMC\Kodi, and click the 'Info' button. One of the options on the Movie Info screen is 'Refresh', Click that, and exit out of the Movie Info screen. You should now see the correct artwork.

or

2. You can run a Clean Database, and Refresh Database and see if that works (sometimes it does).
Hello Komet, I have an issue with 2 movies:

https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/269148-samba

and

https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/60015-novo

When I try to scrap them, the Search Result Pop up doesn't find anything, I see the little wheel spinning and spinning forever. My scraper is set to tmdb.
Any idea what could be the prob?
I'm using 2.2.2 btw.
Thanks!
Hi Komet
MediaElch Does not collect information from the file (stream detail, time etc), if the name of the movie (files) contains Polish characters.
hey there all can any one help me please is there away to add a different tv show scrapper as im having trouble scraping my anime shows and my other cartoons that dont seem to scrap right can any one help me please
thx for reading this

Well. i love this piece of software. I use mostly to scrape my TV-Shows...always perfect!.
Now i'm doing tests to replace another scraper i use to scrape Movies.
But i'm missing several features to get the perfect match:
  • possibility to scrape "release date".
  • from IMDB scraper...download "cast" and actors thumbs ONLY with images.
  • split "certification USA" and "mpaa USA" in XBMC format.
  • auto-download extrafanart.
  • better management to download trailers locally. From www.youtube.com is a very complicated to implement, because google is constantly changing things...but


I'm not sure, but i think KODI doesn't manage "release date" ... but i'll like to get this field scraped.
If i download-scrape from IMDB the "cast" and actor thumbs i get a large list of actors where some there isn't picture.
i must to download one-by-one extrafanart for every movie...there are and automate action?

i'm gonna pay for this features!!
