Hi, I'm currently rebuilding my library and for that, I'm also adding NFOs with special sorttitles and appendixes to the titles (like "(de)" for german language films).

This mostly works, but some movies simply don't seem to want to get scrapped that way. I used to have these movies in my library so at some point it has worked, also, I can see them on IMDB when clicking the links.

Two examples:

- "Der Papst ist kein Jeansboy" ( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt6931292/ )
- "The Carsony Brothers" ( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4385962/ )

Here's the debug log:

This is the first NFO:

Code:

<movie>
    <title>Hermes Phettberg 2: Der Papst ist kein Jeansboy (de)</title>
</movie>

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt6931292/

And this is the second:

Code:

<movie>
    <title>The Carsony Brothers: Von Simmering nach Las Vegas (de)</title>
    <sorttitle>Carsony Brothers: Von Simmering nach Las Vegas (de)</sorttitle>
</movie>

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4385962/

Thanks for your support!

What scraper are you using? https://api.tmdb.org/3/movie/tt6931292?a...anguage=de
Open failed with code 404

the log correctly indicates the tt6931292 title Der Papst ist kein Jeansboy (2011) and Mysql names it as # idFile=85411 but using the above link "The resource you requested could not be found." Not being familiar with the intricate function of Mysql and it's writes, I'm unsure if this actually makes it to the library.

Suggestion: use the updated universal scraper, manually locate title Der Papst ist kein Jeansboy (2011) in file mode and refresh using the 'information' page, and manually delete the title and replace it with the #TT number and see if it scrapes the direct meta-data, then purge the local cache (browsing your collection for a few minutes) return and see if the data for this file is in your library.

Hi! I'm using... and this might be exactly the problem... "The Movie Database" scrapper. I have set it, so the description texts are retrieved in German (for that source), a setting I cannot find in the Universal Movie scrapper. I only could find the setting to retrieve German movie titles, but not the plots...

Funnily enough, this setup works with most of the other movies -- just not with a couple of them.

Can you point me to the setting where I can change the plot language in the universal scrapper?

Thanks!

Should be in the add-on settings, Plot>get plot from>prefered plot language. Try using the #TT number and report back.

Hi PatK,

the Universal Scrapper works better, but I have the problem with the plot / plot-language. For the "Phettberg movie" ( tt6931292 ) I don't get a plot, for the "Carsony brothers" ( ) I just get the English one.

Also, the "Phettberg movie" doesn't have any artwork, even though I can see artwork on IMDB. I don't know how to check, if a plot is available in a given language, but I was not able the setting you mentioned. I can only specify, from where I can get the plot, not a preferred language -- that's the main problem I have with that scrapper.

Thanks for your support!

No language setting:



IMDB has poster artwork, scrapped version does not:



Also, the country should be Austria, not Germany, but that's a problem with the data in the IMDB.

The split scraper should pull in the plot via OFDb.de or the moviedatadb.org with the German choice, (also note under search> secondary language)  if you find that doesn't work, then you might want to check the specific thread for issues and updates https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=129821 Picking up the poster shouldn't be an issue, but the holidays have brought heavy traffic and you might be experiencing time outs.

The problem is, that' a "secondary" choice. Meaning, if it find english, it will use english, no? From what I understand, it always uses the system language as primary language (different to themoviedb scrapper), so it doesn't seem to work for me, because I have three different kind of things. English stuff should always be English, German stuff should always be German, and other languages ( I have a lot of foreign stuff, too ) should always be English, too.

English + Foreign work nicely, German sometimes makes troubles. But never mind, I'll create the NFOs for the exotic stuff.

[PatK]

In your circumstances with three different kind of things, I would be tempted to put each in it's own source, then set the scraper that does it best for each. I doubt any scraper will be perfect, and it's likely that the meta-database is not compete. Once you have exported meta-data, you can easily pick up the plot in any language of choice using cut&paste techniques, the pull this data back locally with a refresh.
