This is impacting scraping by both the Universal Movie Scraper and The TVDB scrapers, so I don't think I can blame the scraper.
Hi Warner306,
Can you report a practical example about the issue you are experiencing and how do you think it could be related to the background operation of the add-on? Indeed, the add-on doesn't do nothing more than check if the time for an update is arrived (if you have configured it for a scheduled update of course).
Do the other scrapers you mentioned have the same issue? So, may be, is a problem related to a change of the IMDb site pages.

I did not mean to have the pop-up opens again, just to show the actual rating (IMHO, if you have the rating already, you can show it) :-) then, after an update, the user can open the pop-up again (if he likes to) and see, if there is a difference).
Oh, and thanks for the help. I see it now, its under "Program Addons". %-)
Nice day too.
Ok, I will take this into account in case of a new version.
Cheers,
Alex

Just a quick suggestion. Is it possible to add a stand-alone IMDB Top 250 Movies update like you can do with the IMDB Ratings Update add-on?
Hi!
I guess I have answered to a similar question some time ago. Since information of rating, votes and Top 250 are in the same movie description page, it has no sense to scrape for just one of such information. Update only Top 250 will take the same time as updating ratings and votes too. Btw since the Top 250 position is related to the rating itself, I would personally prefer to maintain them coherent and aligned (i.e. update both); if you are interest only in the rating, you can do that (no Top 250)...but if you are interested in Top 250, to me it logically implies the update of the rating too.

I guess, what he really was asking for, is a
single option to just scan the TOP 250 movies from the IMDB site, and compare those found movies (their tt.. numbers) with the movies in his own database and then update them accordingly (of course with the ratings as you wrote), so he has an state of the art Top250 in Kodi.

Had the same problem here for a while. Not sure if its the addon, my skin, the universal movie scraper or a script causing it.

This is what I had in mind, and also perhaps an option to export a list of missing TOP 250 movies to a txt file??

Sorry, but may be I'm really missing the added value of such an option. What is going to bring more than what the addon is already doing?
Anyway I could consider it in a next major release of the addon (i.e. passage to python 3 for the next releases of Kodi). Sorry but at the moment I'm busy with another project. For the time being I will correct just bugs or add very basics features, if needed.
Hi,
I am a real noob for kodi on android.
I have an android box and I would like to know how to install this add-on?
Do I just need to download the zip and do an 'install from zip'?
Thanks in advance for your answer.
And sorry again for this really noob question

Hi EveMene,
You already gave the correct answer to yourself!
finally got around to trying this mod, since the olds ones stopped working.
This works a treat, thanks! Although i did have to disable rating updates for episodes in the settings, as it kept getting stuck on the same tv show.
Thanks though, this the only mod i install thats not from the repo, such a good thing to have. Any chance it will find its way into the repo, whats stopping it making the cut?
Forget to thank for this add-on.
Really useful...

Hi inv3ntor,
Thanks a lot for your post.
Can you please provide the TV Show for which you had the ratings update stuck? In addition, also a log could be really useful; please refer to the first post for the informatoin on how to provide it.
I tried some time ago to check if the add-on could be accepted inside the Kodi repository, but at that time (and I think is still the case) I would have to modify different parts of the code to make it compliant with the official add-ons specifications. Since it was not a priority, I put it on hold. A way that I want to try (again), is to provide a specific repository. Hope to have time to do that shortly...
Have a great day!
