[QUOTE="RoChess, post: 553011, member: 18896"] [b]Re: Adult movie scraper (details+covers) -- v1.0.1[/b] I use the details page for the cover as well. If you manually find a movie at CDUniverse.com you will see it has a small cover image and then a link below it "Large front" and "Large back". With the scraper I follow those links and then copy the URL to the larger image. If you find cover images elsewhere that you prefer, simply get the URL on the image (h**p://example.com/image.you.prefer.jpg) and enter it directly into the movie details (bottom left area is for the covers you have the option to add image from disk or URL, the MovPic plugin will then getch that image and make a copy in the thumbs folder). As for mismatches or lack of title listing, the blame for that unfortunatly lies at the crappy search engines that those adult sites have. They might have the exact same title as my search string at CDUniverse.com and it will be listed as the 11th movie, meaning it won't make it into the Moving Picture listing. To compensate for that I adjusted the search parameters to list the most recent movies first. This seemed to be the solution for the relative small sample collection I have, as 12 out of 14 movies auto completed and the other 2 had the correct title available in the drop down box for manual verification. This matches about the same auto-approval rating I get with the IMDb.com scraper, so I didn't bother fixing it. So please provide me with a list of your folder+filename structure that failed to be listed at all, so that I can just rename some dummy files on my system into that name, and see where the problem lies. Send me a list of those filenames in an attachment, or private message, seeing as the nature of some filenames might not be suitable for this public thread. To generate the list of folders+filenames that I need use the following exactly as is (modified to your own "d:\movies" folder of course): WinKey+R -> [b]cmd /c dir "d:\movies" /b/ogn/s > "%HomeDrive%%HomePath%\Desktop\Adult_List.txt"[/b] This will place "Adult_List.txt" on your dekstop, so please attach that to a reply. Based on the results I'm able to verify with your filenames, I might decide to go with an idea I had before and that is to use Google.com combined with the "site:cduniverse.com" option. Normally I try to avoid Google for certain searches, because they know enough about me already, but they do yield fantastic search results. As for your other adult site suggestion; I was unable to find a positive match on a lot of movies in my own collection.
