i'm working on a new italian scraper, my objective is to include 2 or more (mutually exclusive) target site from wich retrieve infos.

A first version is here:
http://goo.gl/mWl88

At the moment it includes ComingSoon.it and FilmUp.it sites, but later we can include also MoviePlayer.it.
Filmup part of the scraper seem to work very good, if anyone has time to test this new scraper and to report back...

I am still testing the movieplayer scraper on my large collection (tested more than 200 so far). The rating is gathered 100% of the times, but the scraper often fails in getting the genre (about 50% of the times), sometimes it doesn't get the year too

Some examples of movies without genre (there are many I took 5 in the top of the alphabetical list and 5 in the bottom)

4 mesi, 3 settimane e 2 giorni
la 25a ora
28 giorni dopo
36 quai des orfevres
1997: fuga da new york
zodiac
yattaman - il film
zatoichi
wall-e
wall street: il denaro non dorme mai

Some examples of movies without genre and without year (there are less, I took 10 of them in random order) (it looks like many of them could share the title with other movies but the rating and credits are taken correctly)

Ali
Casino Royale
gli intoccabili
i tre dell'operazione drago
il circo
king kong
la mummia
la mummia: la tomba dell'imperatore dragone
La vera storia di jack lo squartatore
moulin rouge

The multiscraper project is very interesting, I have yet to finish passing my collection in the movieplayer scraper. I guess all the problems should be common to the imdb part

I am keepin testing it. Found a movie mismatch for Marrakech Express. Again the problems are in the imdb part, it gets the rating and the staff credits of " Ideus Kinky - Un treno per Marrakech"

yes, for some movies year or genre arent scraped (from Imdb), but i can't figure out why!
If i search the regexp in source page i find year and genres but using the scraper in xbmc seems that something is broken
I'll try to understand where is the problem...hope to fix it soon.


ps
Same problem is present also in multiscraper

maybe year problem is fixed,

this evening i'll update also the repo.

The problem with genre instead seems to be still here i'll try to fix this too

Very nice work with the year fix, it solved 100% of my problems there. It also looks like the scraper is a bit faster but could be just an impression.
Keep up the good work and thanks for your efforts

updated again, now with some titles (es Moulin Rouge) the scraper seems to perform better,
i've done a rewrite of originaltitle regexp to be more accurate.

the last version on official git repo (link on first page)

I have found another movie mismatch. The Collector (2009) gets imdb rating and staff of "Ogni cosa è illuminata".

updated both scrapers

Movieplayer.it
http://goo.gl/T87CA

and Multiscraper.it

Problems of some movies with imdb (genre, studio, runtime etc ) should be fixed now.

Did some quick test with your new work. It looks like you completely solved the genre problem. I tried with 15-20 movies which didn't get the proper infos and they all got full info details. Very good.
I have found another movie which isn't correctly recognized by imdb: Ghost in the shell 2 doesn't get a mismatch like "Marrakech Express" and "The Collector", it doesn't get any data at all: no rating, no cast, no genre.
It's just a little step from perfection, thank you!

I have found a title which still doesn't get the genre tags. It's the movie Brüno (2009) (could be related to the german "u" in the title?)

Hey gulp, I am still testing the scraper, it has very good accuracy. I have found another imdb movie mismatch for Leon. I wonder is it somewhat possible to give the URL of the IMDB title in the nfo, like we can do with the movieplayer URL?
Thanks. Saluti

in the nfo there is the imdb id, so if id is <id>tt0110413</id>

you can see imdb page with http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0110413/

For some title is normal that on imdb there is a mismatch, since for the second site we use to scrape we cannot confirm film title

Hi all,
I have been trying to load the episodes of "Il Commissario Montalbano", but could not do it.

So I have this directory structure:
Telefilms - ITA
-- Il Commissario Montalbano
---- Il Commissario Montalbano.1x19.avi
---- Il Commissario Montalbano.1x20.avi
---- Il Commissario Montalbano.1x21.avi
---- tvshow.nfo

tvshow.nfo is:

But despite all type of settings I couldn't load the episodes in XBMC.

Any idea?

thanks
