hi guys,
I have been using the imdb scraper as there is always more info on imdb then there is on tmdb
the only thing that is bugging me with the imdb scraper is the trailer support. it has two options: hd-trailers.net and youtube
youtube option is hit or miss, sometimes it gets foreign language or low res trailers
hd-trailers.net is very accurate at finding trailers, however a great majority of them link to yahoo movies/trailers. and yahoo sucks in terms of bandwidth. I am on a 30Mbit connection and cannot stream a trailer without buffering in the middle. (this is with 480p trailers. . . pathetic)
if I use youtube to stream a 720p trailer, the whole thing is downloaded in 20 seconds or so (a 3-4 min trailer) but yahoo trailers is unable to stream a 480p stream even real time.
my question is twofolds: is there a better source for streaming trailers for imdb scraper? (maybe tmdb trailers??)
and also is there an easy way to rescrape just the trailers in the library?? I have my library exported to individual files so I have nfo's for every movie. If I ignore them and refresh, it will take forever and will get messed up.
Thanks
