Well I figured out what's wrong with hd-trailers.
First of all, the string that the scraper uses to parse the trailer from the website is the Original Title found in filmaffinity site. This title sometimes have like an alternative title between brackets, and this confuses the scraper because in the hd-trailers website the movie is listed without the words between the brackets. So that will result in an unexisting page.
Second, I realised that the hd-trailers page doesn't have a really big collection of trailers, so, in my case, most of the times the movie does not exist.. that will also return in an error for the scraper and you will get no trailers at all.
Before switching to the filmaffinity trailers I would suggest that:
Maybe the scraper can first parse in hd-trailers, and if it doesn't find any trailers, it could fallback in the filmaffinity trailers.
Another idea would be basically the same as filmaffinity trailers, BUT, the scraper can obtain the trailer that is in english, because I don't like translations :S. Or if the filmaffinity page provides an external trailer, go for it.
I know it seems like a lot of work.. so it'll be nice if you consider it.. for now on I'll switch to filmaffinity trailers.
Hope I made myself clear, sorry for my english and thank you again for all the good work! Cheers!
