Dharma beta 2 imdb 1.0.13 on Windows 7 32bit, USA/international title:
I do not get votes/rating, nor cast. Foreign movies get their original title instead of USA/international.
Akira ended up as "Tokyo Shoeshine Boy" of all things, which is the name of the sound track.
I also have several movies with no title, including "A Charlie brown christmas".
Are you guys on top of this or should I prepare debug logs? Clearing the cache did not help.

It is very easy to explain why some are having issues, while others it works fine. IMDB is a huge, multi-server website. Depending on which server a particular user actually "receives" as it's deliverer it may or may not have the updated UI. Within hours or days all IMDB servers should be updated and everyone will be broken until the scraper can handle the new layout.

Works much better, rating and english title scrapes fine, even for foreign movies.
I see an issue I've seen before though; some movies have the alternate title even if the original was kept for world wide release.
Akira scrapes as "Akira: The Special Edition"
Astro Boy scrapes as "Astro"
Australia scrapes as "Australie"
Children of men scrapes as "Les fils de l'homme"
Cliffhanger scrapes as "La falaise de la mort"
I'll post if I find more this happens to.

...but can someone tell me how I get the newest version of the scraper?
I'm using XBMC 9.11 r26018 on Linux - should I be able to get an updated IMDB scraper that will work for my version? I've looked through the forums and I can't seem to find anywhere that tells me how to get it.

Hi all,
same problem as Ansyhrrian, how do we get the updated scrapers?
Do we need to access the XBMC source code repository and just grab the latest version (Not sure how to do that yet...)
i don't really want to do a full-on update yet cuz im worried how many of my other settings this thing will break (i use xbmc with an external media player KMPlayer and event ghost for various remote control work arounds.)
thanks!
