[QUOTE="RoChess, post: 804410, member: 18896"] [b]Re: IMDb+ Scraper - Movie Scraping on Steroids v3.3.6[/b] Glad we finally got that sorted. I made a bunch of screenshots from the new plugin and will update the wiki. I'm also going to look at some of the scraper-script option descriptions in IMDb+ to make sure they still cover the new version. It's also time for a skin-designer guide so that more skin developers can add support. I've also begun going through a list of 350 movie titles to fix the dual-title problem on Original/Classic/Remake/etc versions of the same movie, or when it is a totally different one that shares the title (right now I'm using theme/country to differentiate those). The most modern or popular one will then get the title as-is without any postfix. So far only been able to do 30 titles as it takes quite a bit of time to verify all the titles. Once the English rename database is done, I'm going to be looking at foreign title support and having a localized/translated rename database for those supported languages as well. Will need some community support on that, but will ask when the time comes. Danish support via a scope.dk proxy system is also on the agenda then. The ability to edit/add rename database entries will be added to the IMDb+ plugin as well, including more enhancements to the refresh system. Those will take a lot of time to implement, so won't be anytime soon. Hiding the scraper-script options that rely on the setting of others is also on the to-do list, for example being able to adjust the 'foreign title first' option is pointless when the 'add foreign title' option is disabled. Right now you can adjust it, but the scraper-script then ends up simply ignoring it. By actually hiding the options it hopefully makes adjusting the scraper-script options a little bit easier to understand. And finally there will be support for custom downloadable MovingPictures categories. The main category inside MovingPictures will be named "IMDb+ Categories" (this will be adjustable).
