Here is the debug log

The movie I am trying to get the poster for is called "Oru Naal Varum"


RE: [Release] Universal Movie Scraper - olympia - 2013-03-30

Right, I remember now.
That fix you were referring to was addressing the case when there was no scraping from TMDb even in case of TMDb was selected for search engine, but there was no IMDb ID registered.

There is no such fallback implemented and there won't be, so you have 2 options for that movie:
1. Enter the IMDb ID on TMDb (preferred)
2. Use TMDb search engine for this movie

Olympia,

Thanks for the reply. I will follow the option 1 and enter the imdb id where it is missing.

Since this info is not very obvious, is it okay if I create an FAQ section on this page add this information.

BTW this add-on has been a life saver since the IMDB add-on got broken.


RE: [Release] Universal Movie Scraper - olympia - 2013-03-30

Surely OK and feel free to improve this page on how the scraper works.


RE: [Release] Universal Movie Scraper - neurosis13 - 2013-04-01

thank you for your great scraper.

i realized that your scraper puts the mpaa ratingin in a field <mpaa>Rated R</mpaa>

in Ember Media Manager the nfo file looks like this:

<mpaa>Rated R for horror violence and language</mpaa>
<certification>USA:R</certification>

is there a way i can get the rating description from imdb with universal movie scraper?
i want to integrate this info into a skin.

thanks alot.


RE: [Release] Universal Movie Scraper - olympia - 2013-04-01

'Certification' is not a valid tag in XBMC, so that EMM saves it like that is useless, XBMC doesn't use it.
I may look at an option in the future for rating desciption, but don't expect it soon. Would need some refactoring of the scraper.

thank you for looking into this, would be great to have it at least as an option.


RE: [Release] Universal Movie Scraper - canadave - 2013-04-03

Hi,

I'm suddenly seeing Universal Movie Scraper is randomly going out and scraping my library, even without me telling it to do so. Just starts scraping out of nowhere. This never happened before. I was running Frodo 12.0, but just upgraded to the latest nightly build, and it's still doing it. Any ideas offhand what this could be, before I start pulling and posting logs? Smile


RE: [Release] Universal Movie Scraper - hotrodcases - 2013-04-03

Not sure if this is the right place for this or not. I have been having problems with scraping a couple of movies that are in the tmdb but not being scraped properly. One example is Battlestar Galatica (1978) (this is the way it is logged at tmdb and how I have is listed) not showing at all. All the new stuff shows but not this one. The closest that shows is Battlestar Galatica (1401). Any Ideas?


RE: [Release] Universal Movie Scraper - olympia - 2013-04-03

The scraper is using IMDb search by default and Battlestar Galatica (1978) doesn't exist on IMDb. You will need to switch the search engine for this movie (only possible if you have your movies in separate folders) to TMDb to have it scraped.


RE: [Release] Universal Movie Scraper - User 49598 - 2013-04-07

Do this scraper implement any sort of fallback ?
Let's say, as an example: if requested info is not found on TMDB, go look for it on IMDB


RE: [Release] Universal Movie Scraper - patria o muerte - 2013-04-07

Hi, I have a problem with this scraper.Everytime i try to scrape the movie folder xbmc gives me this messagge:impossible to connect to remote server.
This happens after a addon restore with xbmc backup.
Maybe something is missing in addon or userdata folder?
Thanks in advance


RE: [Release] Universal Movie Scraper - User 49598 - 2013-04-07

A couple of issues:

- HD-Trailers.net no longer gives results since... yesterday (but the trailer is there, on the site, see "12"). Also, fallback if no trailer found is broken

- Every HD-Trailers.net trailer plays from Yahoo (slooooooow) even when multiple sources are available (looking at HD-Trailers.net site from browser. May I sugget you to avoid Yahoo results as much as possible and prefer other sources IF available ?

Thanks a lot.


RE: [Release] Universal Movie Scraper - olympia - 2013-04-08

Fixed.

Slow streaming is not something I can address from within the scraper. It's a general problem about streaming .mov files.


RE: [Release] Universal Movie Scraper - User 49598 - 2013-04-08

I understand that, perhaps a workaround may be: if multiple sources are available for a trailer on HD-Trailers.net (Yahoo, AOL, Apple) just don't use the Yahoo one. If it's even possible to implement such a mechanism, of course.

Thanks a lot for the fix
