Ok, I'm currently trying to fix the ofdb-Part of this script. What I really need is a delay function or something that delays execution for some seconds. Is there anything like that?
Found it. The main problem still is that the called API often returns no summary at the first call (BUG) but if you wait some seconds it can deliver. This is what I'm trying to fix.

    Modifying the <retrieve> node should do that. Set retries to 2 (default = 5), timeout to 15000 (15 seconds, default = 5000 / 5secs), and timeout_increment to 10000 (10 seconds, default is 2000/2s).

    Or adjust to what you prefer.

    If the ODFB server is slow then you definitely want to adjust those values, and running them manually in your browser and looking at network stats on timing helps, or use POSTMan tool.

    I worked some hours last weekend and could improve this script so it would at least use all informations available over ofdbgw. Now geeksphere seems dead and I can't find any active gateway providing access anymore. I won't script a html scraper as this would take me weeks and just replicate what ofdbgw already achieved.
    Sad.

    I noticed that only the German age rating does not work. Would that be a lot of work to implement just that?
