Quick question: Is it possible with this scraper to take all movie info from IMDB, but to use another language (moviemeter scraper for example for Dutch) for the summary?

I'll go see if i can figure out how that search works! I'd love to have that option

Let me know, I just went through all the scrapers, and I'll be able to add support for Swedish and Icelandic, as their respective movie websites (filmtipset.se and kvikmyndir.is) support direct IMDb tt-ID references.

API - MovieMeterWiki
is that something you can use??
I asked the admin for the search option like the 1 (you showed above) for Rotten Tomaties, and he said the API could do that.

the moviemeter.nl api has a function to search by imdb id: film.retrieveByImdb
Not quite sure though, what the exact syntax is... The wiki looks like you have to send a xml file to the api to then get the results back... pretty confusing... might be google translater... Oh and you need to get an API key which again you need to keep private...
LoL, after rescanning i'm getting a 5,8 (that's already closer to the 7 on imdb)
But now it the scanner starts to hang an manual approval for some reason. Time to start over with a clean dB.
Yes, I would need to convert the XML based IMDb+ scraper into a C# one, just like what was done to the actual MovieMeter scaper. However then it requires a new release of MovingPictures when changes are made to the scraper and my scraper updates too many times to risk that.
