I did an almost complete new installation of Mediaportal with Moving Pictures and IMDb+. I used MP 1.35 and Moving Pictures 1.8.4.1 and IMDb+ 4.10.10 from 2021. I have added the IMDb tt-number to ALL my movie folders with FileBot 5.2.0. This is important. Filebot scrapes the IMDb site for...

@el-Dia Yes, I still have a great working IMDb+ setup. Problem is the maker of this plugin (RoChess) has not been around since 2023. And the guy that picked up where he left off KJ-Cox (formerly Budinski) also left in 2024. But he made a version of IMDb+ (340273) that still works like before...

It's working! It was my bad. I wasn't aware there were TWO versions of your scraper: no. 339278 and no. 340273. I kept on working with the first and after a really thorough read of all your postings I finally understood you attached TWO DIFFERENT versions. After using the right one, it worked...

Some more info: when I import the same disk into my old working setup with all of your additions it works completely through IMDB+. The differences to the setups are: 1. Working: Windows 7, MP 1.33, Moving Pictures 1.8.4.1, IMDB+ your version 2. NOT working: Windows 11, MP 1.35, Moving Pictures...

Ok, thanks. When I'm talking about a new instance, it is on a completely new computer with a new install of MP, so yes, all settings need to be set anew. I did some more research and found out that the movies that were correctly scraped by IMDB+ were exactly ALL the ones that had the tt-number...

To KJ-Cox: is your solution to IMDB+ still working? Because I tried it on a new instance of MP. The difference to my working settings is: Windows 11 instead of Windows 7 and MP 1.35 vs MP 1.33. I tried scraping a disk of movies and most (not all) are picked up by themoviedb.org as shown in the log.

Done this. It worked like a charm! But I have more instances of Mediaportal in my home. I checked the Options on another one. By default, it has "special_edition", "rename_titles", "refresh_all_fields" and "secondary_summary" set to "true". I have never done anything to the options. This is how...

I don't know how to test the localization also. RoChess (lives in the US) advised me to use a VPN also and set it to the USA. I did this, but the results were the same. It's not so easy to fool the original IMDB.com. But if you log in with your IMDB-account, you can set the movie titles to...

I did what you said.

I found something: when scraping almost all movies are being picked up by IMDB+ according to Moving Pictures thanks to your adjustments. But it seems that the Rename dBase IMDb+ Scraper.xml is not used. A few examples: Despicable Me (2010) becomes Despicable Me (2010) instead of...

Thanks again. You being from Australia, you won't have a problem. Me, from the Netherlands I do. I am confronted with a localized version of IMDB. If a Dutch title is available, it is used. But if I use the IMDB site and search for i.e. Snowwhite and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) I get all info in...

You truly are a wizard!!! Your tips worked like a charm! Now IMDB+ is doing what it always did. Thank you very much. I myself would never have found the way the XML is put into Moving Pictures. How did you find that out? And more so: how did you find out about the changes IMDB.com imposed and...

Great stuff! I want to try your update, but I have two issues: how to download your attachment as an XML file and where to put it? I looked everywhere for the original IMDB+ XML, but haven't found it.

I have tried everything you said and read it over and over again, without succes. I let it rest for a while and almost got used to the scraper "themoviedb.org". Today I re-read your comments and one remark from you struck me: Well, this never was the case, but I thought: what the heck? Just...

Thanks for your elaborate answer! I have done the following: installed 1.32 x86, plugins were all at the latest version already. Running import in Moving Pictures: same thing. All movies being picked up by themoviedb.org and NOT IMDb+. I also tried your attached script: no change. You wonder...
