Hi,
I'm using XBMC Live with SVN 21913, the filmaffinity scrapper doesn't seems to be working fine. It downloads the movie info, and the fan art but not the thumbnails. It works fine with IMDB scrapper, so i think that filmaffinity scrapper needs to be modified in some way.
Also i've noticed (before this bug, because some SVNs ago it was working fine) that for the movie "The Matrix Reloaded" it doesn't download the right thumbnail...
regards,

instead of wrapping the thumbs in a <thumbs> tag, return multiple <thumb> instead

Well, i've partially solved the problem that way (removing the <thumbs> tag) but there is also other problems retrieving the info for other sites. I'm not sure about the use of buffers (clearbuffer and dest) and i can find any documentation about it...
How can i see the scrapper generated output? May be that if i see the output i can understand better the problem.

debug log outputs all scraper results.
you do not need the clearbuffers trick any longer. just return <details><thumb>..</thumb>..</details> from the new functions. the clearbuffers thingy was needed when all thumbs needed to be wrapped in a <thumbs> tag, stuffing results in a buffer then finally adding them all at a final expression. you probably see one <RegExp> which has tons of input buffers at the end of the chain.

This is a total nightmare xD. I'm about to surrender... I don't understand the filmaffinityscrapper at all... i'm comparing it against imdb.xml scrapper but dest buffers are different and i don't know how to change them to fit into the filmaffinity scrapper functions...

Updated scraper in SVN r21923. I think there's some room for improvements but for the moment this should (hopefully) work.
