NFO files for unfound movies not working
#1
Hi all,

I have added a movie source using themoviedb.org scraper. Inevitably there are a few movies that are not identified by the scraper.
Looking at the wiki i believe i should be able to create a .nfo and write a IMDB URL in it to add the details, thumbs etc.
I'm using the latest XBMC SVN. My movies are all in individual folders e.g. films/Drop Dead Sexy/ which contains Drop Dead Sexy.avi, Drop Dead Sexy.nfo

The NFO file contains http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0397401/ and nothing else.

However the movies are not being identified.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers

EDIT pastbin for the lookup for Drop Dead Sexy http://pastebin.com/mbbd69ab
Its finding a malformed NFO file.

imho would be the best if you just add the missing movies to themoviedb ... this way you dont need to bother with nfo files and give something back to the community! ... just my 0.02$

but you log (allways post complete logs) shows its scraping themoviedb with the imdbid

Code:
http://api.themoviedb.org/2.0/Movie.imdbLookup?imdb_id=tt0397401&api_key=57983e31fb435df4df77afb854740ea9

this is correct .. but since the movie isn't added yet to themoviedb it won't find any results. as said add it yourself or change your scraper to imdb and resfreh the missing movie!

Again, this debug log file is useless since it has no version information.
What happens if you click "info" on the file or folder in files view?

Thnx guys,

Is there no way to force a single attempt at using another scraper - i thought thats what the NFO URL did - not just pass the IMDB id to themoviedb.

I was having trouble signing up last night to themoviedb - hotmail did not allow their email through but have now signed up using a gmail account.

I will update themoviedb instead nwo i have an account.

Cheers again.
