It seems like the rotten tomatoes rating scraper is broken. Did RT change the way to retrieve it again? I know there was a problem with it for a few months last year..

How do you uninstall this add on? The relevant sections in the add - on information for uninstall or disable are greyed out.
I have 2 machines running Kodi which I am using for testing. Machine 1 only uses The Movie Database add on which correctly identifies all the movies and assigns the correct posters. Machine 2 has the Universal scraper and mangles roughly 10 titles at least one of which is not fixable (DVD of stage version of Cats)

Further to my last post I am now getting very confused and deeply irritated.
A manual search on both IMDB and The Movies Database finds the right movie instantly. I have even put in a nfo file which the scraper completely ignores Trying to refresh the movie information does not work because whilst it will let me change the title the scraper refuses to accept that there is a movie called Cats even though, as I say both IMDB and The Movies Database clearly show it. I has fixed that problem so that it uses the locally stored information on a refresh (I would have thought that should be the default option and only if no local info should you go to internet)
Now I face another problem - getting it to use the correct poster/fan art. I thought that would be simple after all in refresh information there is an option for choose art. It is hopeless no matter what I click it endlessly cycles through a series of windows and never actually adds anything. I even tried changing the nfo file so that it pointed to the correct title on movies database - it completely ignored that). Anyone got any suggestions

I recognize that the scraper only imports the 'above the line'* cast from IMDB ... enough is (normally) enough! Sometimes though, a movie's stars end up below the line, and are not scraped into our library. Case in point, Jessica Chastain is listed as a star in Interstellar, but her cast entry is below the line, so she doesn't appear in my library.
What I would propose, is that when scraping, both the Stars field and the Cast field are scraped, then those fields are merged, and that merged list is imported into Kodi. Sounds simple enough, and would certainly increase usability, for those of us that use the cast field.
* By above the line, I refer to those cast members who are displayed on IMDB without having to click on 'See full cast'.

Does anyone know if there's any update on the add-on to make changes that include the rotten tomatoes ratings again?
