Unfortunately no. Maybe olympia can offer some suggestions when he returns. I assume you are using v18?

 Kodi Leia, tried it on 3 different platform and all produce the same results.

LibreElec Leia Intel NUC hardware
Amlogic LibreElec Leia
Nvidia Sheild Android Kodi Leia 

All running the latest updates.

 Is there a way to save CDart; FanArt; ClearLogo; Banner etc., on a local or network drive so it can load a little bit faster?

Would the use of personal fanart.tv API keys be of any help for this?

I reinstalled Kodi 17.6. Some movies that I now scrape, return strange, unwanted titles. The scraper returns the right movie all right (right year, plot, actors), but the title is some AKA from the IMDb I guess. I tried both 'original' and 'USA' titles in the settings (set from the source).

For example:
Film: Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince.
Kodi calls it: HP and the HBP (it's in here as 'informal title': https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0417741/rel...dt_dt#akas)

Film: The Quiet American
Kodi calls it: Graham Greene's the Quiet American (also as 'informal title': https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0258068/rel...dt_dt#akas)


I'm sure I'm missing some setting. What could it be?

[willemd]

Another example:

Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle
Kodi makes it: Harold and Kumar get the munchies ('European English title', whatever that is: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0366551/rel...dt_dt#akas)

Is this a bug or is it somehow intended?

[olympia]

Not intended, but not really fixable. IMDb is not consistent in the titles and I believe whoever thinks it is great to develop a new "title type", he can do it... 
Best bet is to use TMDb for titles...

[willemd]

Thanks! I'll try that.

Hi there,

I was trying to scrape the movie "Espectáculo Bugs Bunny 1 V1" but Universal Movie Scraper can't find it in themoviedb.

Looking further into the logs, i see this happening:

Code:

DEBUG: ADDON::CScraper::FindMovie: Searching for 'Espectáculo Bugs Bunny 1 V1' using Universal Movie Scraper scraper (path: 'C:\<removed path>\addons\metadata.universal', content: 'movies', version: '4.1.8')DEBUG: scraper: CreateSearchUrl returned <url>http://api.tmdb.org/3/search/movie?api_key=92db8778ccb39d825150332b0a46061d&amp;query=Espect%c3%a1culo%20Bugs%20Bunny%201%20V1&amp;year=</url>DEBUG: CurlFile::Open(11DA9680) http://api.tmdb.org/3/search/movie?api_k...year=DEBUG: CScraperUrl::Get: Using "UTF-8" charset for "http://api.tmdb.org/3/search/movie?api_key=92db8778ccb39d825150332b0a46061d&query=Espect%c3%a1culo%20Bugs%20Bunny%201%20V1&year="DEBUG: scraper: GetSearchResults returned <results></results>WARNING: No information found for item 'smb://<removed path>/Espectáculo Bugs Bunny 1 V1/Espectáculo Bugs Bunny 1 V1.avi', it won't be added to the library.

So no results found. But if i copy paste the url "http://api.tmdb.org/3/search/movie?api_key=92db8778ccb39d825150332b0a46061d&query=Espect%c3%a1culo%20Bugs%20Bunny%201%20V1&year=" into the browser, i see the pretended results:

json:

So this is a bug in Universal Movie Scrapper? If not, what i am doing wrong?

Let me know as soon as possible.

Best Regards,

Vitor Figueira

Can you please post the link of the Bugs Bunny show from TMDB ... https://www.themoviedb.org/

[vitorsemeano]

Sure, there it is:

https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/356634-...bunny-1-v1

Thanks

[Karellen]

Ok, so it exists, thanks.

What language do you have set in the scraper?
As you are linking to TMDB, can I assume you have all your scraper settings set to TMDB?

You will need to provide a Debug_Log (wiki). The instructions are in my signature. Use the Basic method. Once you have enabled debugging in Settings>System Settings>Logging, restart Kodi then replicate the problem. In your case, try to scrape the movie. Once done upload to https://pastebin.com/ or https://paste.ubuntu.com/ and link back here. Note: Full logs only. No partial or redacted logs

Interesting that it is listed as a movie, but it should be a TV Show.

[vitorsemeano]

Hi,

Sorry for the delay.

The preferred language set is en, because most of the movies and tv shows i have are in English.

Yes you can assume i have all scrapper settings pointing to TMDB.

the requested log is here:
https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/6wJMW2NVRt/

Note that some personal information i replaced with generic data, i think that would not affect the veracity of the log (base paths, ips, etc) for what we intend here.

As a matter of fact, that is considered a movie (video) because each one contains a compilation of episodes from Bugs Bunny Show, but dubbed in Portuguese, like a best of. I don't know if this was released like this outside of Portugal, but if equivalent could be found in English, like a official release in the same format, i would definitely use the English titles. This "movie" i actually have it in VHS format, so i know it was officially released in Portugal, at least.

Anything more that you want to know, just ask.

Thanks

[Karellen]

i would definitely use the English titles. This "movie" i actually have it in VHS format,

I haven't looked at the log yet, but there is an English version here... https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/423459-...volume-1-1

Try this and see if it works. If it doesn't work, then I will look at the log.

[vitorsemeano]

Hi again,

I would not try fetching only that one in English, because there are 19 more released videos of this kind but i can only find a Portuguese reference to them. Even if i could fetch this one in English, the remaining i would have to fetch them in Portuguese.

But nevertheless, i will try fetching it in the English title, give me some moments.
