 I'm sorry, does that mean Kodi "core"? Just trying to understand what is going on.

Also, is there anything in skinning that can take a number and multiply it by 10 and then display the result? 

Hoping to find some universal answers to help everyone out!


RE: Universal Movie Scraper - olympia - 2018-09-17

Yes, core means Kodi "core". Currently Kodi core calculates everything back into a x.y rating structure and no support for %. (It would probably be possible to hack in 53 instead of 5.3, but official scrapers are not built on hacks).
Better to ask the skinning question (rating multiplication) in the skinning forum. I have no idea.

From which API does UMS scrape the multiple rotten tomatoes ratings at this time? Thanks.

 Thanks for the info and helping with my understanding. Seems like it's 2 steps forward then one back, but hey we are advancing! For now I will just forgo the % and use the ratings as they are scraped. Now to re-scrape my entire 3500+ movie library! Oh, joy!

I took a suggestion from another member and used variables in my skin to do the single digit decimal numbers to double digit numbers. Looks beauty! Thanks to all those who've helped!


RE: Universal Movie Scraper - ExTechOp - 2018-09-18

I've found that trying to locate the series Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works as the folder Fate.stay.night.Unlimited.Blade.Works (or any other name that I have tried) never seems to find anything with this scraper. Can this be because of the forward slash in the original name, how would I create logs that might be of help?


RE: Universal Movie Scraper - Karellen - 2018-09-18

@ExTechOp

That is a TV Show

The Universal Movie scraper does not scrape TV Shows.

Use the default TVDB scraper or TheMovieDB for TV Shows.


RE: Universal Movie Scraper - K0D1User1138 - 2018-09-21

All of a sudden UMS isn't scraping genres from IMDb. 

It just failed for Solo and a few other movies.

Did IMDb do something to much this up?


RE: Universal Movie Scraper - olympia - 2018-09-21

Fixed in IMDb common v3.1.2; thanks for reporting.


RE: Universal Movie Scraper - K0D1User1138 - 2018-09-22

Thanks for fixing.

I have a question about a possible sub-version of UMS. I use an old add-on called IMDB Update that, while now defunct, is still able to update the IMDb Top 250 ratings for your library. It can't update the IMDB rating though and has to be disabled the next time you re-start Kodi but for a once in a while update it's a nice feature to have to keep at the very least the Top 250 current.

How possible is it to utilize the already built UMS to do the same sort of thing, re-scrape just the IMDb Rating and Top 250 fields into your library (which can then be exported through a .nfo override) and possibly do the same for Rotten Tomatoes, Metacritic and TMDb ratings as well?


RE: Universal Movie Scraper - olympia - 2018-09-23

That's simply not possible with a scraper addon.


RE: Universal Movie Scraper - K0D1User1138 - 2018-09-23

I don’t mean within UMS itself but it has to be possible, at least for IMDb Top 250, through a method similar to how the scraper works. No?

I don’t have enough programming understanding to look at the old IMDb update add on and see what might be edited to have it work fully and/or adjusted to the other ratings. Hence my question here. The old add on, the portion that works, is pretty helpful. With all the issues lately with UNS having to be tweaked to comply with changes made to the resources I wondered if the same tweaks couldn’t be applied to a version of the old add-on to create a new fully function one?

 Cool. I must have missed an update someplace that caused the version I had to become "old" and non-updateable. Thanks for pointing that out!

Would be awesome to find something that could scrape/re-scrape all the other ratings as well.
