Hi,

Is this Helix ready? I have Skin MOD - AEON SHEDNOX HELIX (Aeon Nox 4.1.9.9 based) and its not working.
If not will there be an update for *Helix*?

Thanks

It works now on Helix. For me it did not work properly on Gotham, meaning: Not all the movies were being updated, the program was randomly stopping in X or Y movie (i have a big collection spread out several HDDs and counting). I hear there has been (and i confirm it) an update on the way KODI handles paths for TV Shows on several disks (which made, among other bugs, tv show/episode count be double than what it was in reality).
Maybe these things are correlated? Who knows. Im just glad this program now works as I hoped, which is GREAT!!

PS: Maybe add a feature to do the same for tv shows? Would this be possible?


EDIT: If this helps, my skin is as follows:

Cheers and keep this addon alive!

Not work on helix, "dependencies not met"

Debug log:
23:22:19 T:3472 DEBUG: Addon script.imdbupdate requires xbmc.gui version 5.0.1 which is not available

Fix:
Edit addon.xml line
<import addon="xbmc.gui" version="5.3.0" />
and set version to your installed version (for Kodi final 5.3.0)

Since quiet some time I get an error when the Script tries to run.

This is really annoing, because the error-popup shows every hour on the screen.

Any idea where the problem is and how to fix this?

XBMC: 13.2
Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS
Linux htpc 3.2.0-74-generic

I figured out my problem.

The error log read "'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0x94 in position 6".
So I looked in my MyVideos78.db (with DB Browser SQlite) for "strange" characters at the prosition "6" in the title.
Using this SQL-Statement.

Code:

SELECT substr(c00,5,3) as titel_substr_de, substr(c16,5,3) as titel_substr_en, c00 as titel_de, c16 as titel_en, strPath
FROM movieview

I found three movies (all in one movie set) with some "questionmark characters).
I remembered I created specific NFO-files for these movies.
The might have been a copy'n'paste issue when I created them.
The XML-data said "utf-8", but it was not saved as utf-8.
A german umlaut got messed up.

I fixed the nfo file, removed an rescand the movies to the library.

Now it works!

WIll there ever be a Helix update? Or is this addon abandoned?

WIll there ever be a Helix update? Or is this addon abandoned?

just tested it and it's working, updating the versions in the addon.xml like HeresJohnny described.

sorry for this laziness, I had some private trouble, but here is the Helix version:
Download: (Helix ready)
script.imdbupdate-0.5.3.zip

PS: Maybe add a feature to do the same for tv shows? Would this be possible?

I think it would be possible, but I need to have some time, will write it on the todo list.

Fix:
Edit addon.xml line
<import addon="xbmc.gui" version="5.3.0" />
and set version to your installed version (for Kodi final 5.3.0)

thanks for helping out

This is a great script. Thanks.

Now my query, when I add a movie from Genesis to my library, the script doesn't update the scores automatically. I have to manually launch the update from the script.

Is this a bug or expected behavior?

[HeresJohnny]

Expected, obviously, since the scraper retrieves the rating when added.

That's exactly what is not happening in my case. The ratings are not updated when I add movies from Genesis to my library.

the script will only update once a week, if you enable it in the settings of the script. is this setting enabled?

Yes, that setting is enabled.
