Hi Olympia, great scrapper. It is working like a charm with standard naming conventions.
I was wondering if you could make it recognize and use something like this: moviename (imdbid)
IIRC the scrapper can query all sites for an IMDBID. Can you directly extract the IMDBID from the name and use it for lookup?
I think something like "somemoviename (ttxxxxxxx)" can be a more reliable/consistent naming scheme because almost all sites use/link imdbid as unique identifier and it doesn't depends on site/name/year/language which are often updated or different between every sites.
Thanks in advance.

seems to be a problem as of today scraping the plot for movies, all i see is 'info unavailable', tried a few different movies scraping from both imdb and tmdb

Yeah, it appears scraping plot from IMDb is broken. I will look at this. However if you configure the scraper to scrape plot from TMDb it should work.

Hey jakehikki, do you think it will be fixed quicker if you +1 an already confirmed issue?
IMDb changed layout...

Fix submitted and should be auto-update soon. You will not receive notification since the fix has been done in the underlying scraper library which doesn't pop up notification on update.

Any way to do a rescan for missing info due to this only? It'd be a shame to have to delete the db (and re-download all fan art).

Can someone tell me if this scraper is having issues? I'm running Openelec 2.99.2 (3.0 RC 2) on a RPi and kept getting the error message last night that it could not connect to the server or something like that.

No, this scraper is not having issues.
