Hello everyone!
Need a bit of help.
I've started using this scraper and I've noticed that even though in settings I've selected IMDB ratings, they are not scraped, but some other rating is being used.
Any thoughts?

ve selected IMDB ratings, they are not scraped, but some other rating is being used.

Two days ago IMDB made changes to their site. The changes have denied access to scrapers, which means IMDB are forcing users into a API payment plan.
The Team is still looking into it.
Realistically, don't expect any quick fixes to this. It affects all scrapers and other addons.

Hi all,

Today I face an issue of scraping using TheMovieDB, i.e. the movie is scraped but the fanart is not showing. Just last Sunday, I refresh some of my previously scraped movies and it works well, but now it is not working perfectly. I am using Coreelec 19.5rc2 with the latest update for TheMovieDBPython add ons. Anybody facing similar issue?

Thanks.

the movie is scraped but the fanart is not showing

Please provide a Debug Log that captures you scraping the movie.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

Here is the link to my log.

I did scraping for film Spencer (2021), starting line 655 in the log. Seems like failed SSL connection, yet I did nothing to the router and internet connection.

Thanks for the support.

You must have sent the wrong log because you did not enable debug mode, and you did not scrape any movies.

Yep, that is better.

Lines 846-850 shows a Failed: SSL connect error(35) message for fanart.tv.
I see you are on Linux. Maybe there are packages you need to update?

Hi,

Thanks for the support.

I am using CoreELEC, latest version 19.5_rc2 Matrix, with all add ons updated to the latest version. I also do not change any of my router setup.
It is quite strange, since all works well when scraping TV Shows using tvdb.

Thanks.

Reading between the lines made me realize, the system cannot access the fanart.tv; that is the problem. I switched the source of pictures to themoviedb and it now works normally.

Issue solved. Thanks for the help.

The only issue with that is TheMovieDB only provides Posters, Fanart and some clearlogos. Banners, clearart, clearlogo, discart comes from fanart.tv. Just be aware of that.

With this scraper (IMDB and fanart.tv options both disabled) I get only a maximum of 13 image results for every art type (on every movie). For example if I want to select a different poster for a movie, I only get to see 13 results, while there are many more on TMDB. When I'm using the old non-python TMDB scraper I get many more results, 100+ for some movies. (Although that scraper also has an issue it seems; "No language" art results are not included.)

That is intentional to overcome this issue... https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/issues/15768

Thanks. It's unfortunate that this was chosen as a long term "solution". A scraper that's returning incomplete data should not be the preferred option. But if I read the discussion, including your comment on another issue, it doesn't look like this will get fixed any time soon...

I'd suggest adding this info to the WIKI: https://kodi.wiki/view/Add-on:The_Movie_Database_Python

Please could we have an option not to bring back posters?
The option is there not to bring back fanart, it would be fantastic if we could turn off bringing back posters?
Many thanks.
