Hello, yesterday I renamed all my movies to include the year and its imdb code in its name and tried your scraper and it really works very good.
What's funny is, that with your new version 0.8.7 (which is the first one I am trying at all) I have all those problems CAndyAndy had with Trilogies and espacially with the exact same ones.
For example: James Bond - Ein Quantum Trost (2008) (tt0830515)
appears as: Dr. N.: Ein Quantum Trost
All the other collection (twilight, shrek and so have the same problem candyandy wrote here https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/...r-auto-grouping-100130/index5.html#post791572 )
Star Wars is also messed up a bit, but it seems to be sorted by year except for "The clone wars" which does not fit in there.
I am going to check it with your versin 0.8.6 beta and tell what it does.
OK, I tested it with "Ein Quantum Trost" und both versions of the scraper find it as "Dr. Nr.: Ein Quantum Trost" and as "JAmes Bond: Ein Quantum Trost". If the wrong one is found then I just resent it to importer and it found it right then. Bourne Trilogy is allright, Star Wars is not at all, just put it in by hand now to get it sorted.
Forgot to say: A real great piece of scraper ypu set up. Hut ab!

Hi MrCrabs
Try again with a film version info + V0.8.6-beta.
Remove only the bad sort in Movie manager.
Then go to Movie Importer and click unignore all file.
this has it worked for me.
maybe that was too much for the initial search.
Unfortunately, errors occur most often when you scrape a lot of movies. FilmInfof has a lot of data from different web sites to retrieve and perform a whole of testseries, which can cause some web pages do not respond quickly enough.
I can only say it worked, all 22 James Bond movies were in the correct line.

Hi MrCrabs,
glad you got it sorted and that you like it.
If a movie shows up wrong just send it back to the importer on its own or refresh from the movie list. That should sort it.
The star wars movies are indeed sorted by release year. Personally I would make them sort by episode (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6), too, but afer discussing it with several star wars fans, my understanding is that the fans prefer the order in which the films were released. I guess there are arguments for and against both ways.
I'll include them in the special movies xml, that way you have episode sorting by default and remove the entries from the xml if you prefer it the other way.
Edit: Done. See first post.
Just remembered a small feature that I forgot to mention in introductory post... Language!
Maybe some of you have noticed that FilmInfo+ does not grab any language details. That is not a bug nor have I forgotten to implement this. I dont grab language on purpose, and thats because the online sources never know, what language(s) my movies are in. Instead the user can add the language short code in brackets to the file name. For example, I've got a movie with a german and an englisch audio track I would add (de,en) to the title. After importing the movie, the language field will show deutsch, englisch. Supported language codes are: de, en, fr, no, ru, tr, cn and jp. If further language codes are required please let me know.
Btw, does anyone know of a skin that actually displays the language?

OK, all movies work well, but that Starwars problem still exists. I used your new special movies xml (which i had to rename since your scraper referrs to "FilmInfo+ Special Movies.xml" and the new one starts with "FilmInfoPlus").
But it doesn't import Star Wars as you set in that file, still old sorting.

Sorry about the renaming of teh special movies xml. That sort of things happens when you do changes at midnight...
It is weird, that the star wars movies are not identified correctly for you. It works fine with me. How are your files named?

Never mind, I resent them all to importer and that was too much. If I import one at a time it is working just fine. Thanks a lot!

Hallo Merlyn.
Danke für die Filename-Version - das ist so richtig super und ich finde diese Art der Sortierung sehr angenehm.
Zwei Kleinigkeiten funktionieren noch nicht so, wie sie sollen.
Vielleicht handelt es sich hierbei auch um Eigenarten von "Moving Pictures", aber vielleicht hast Du ja dennoch eine Idee?!
1.) Bei mir wird z.B. "James Bond" auch nicht korrekt erkannt. Bei mir heißen die Quelldateien z.B. "James Bond 007 - 1978 - Moonraker". Erkannt wird lediglich "Thunderball (as "James Bond - Dr. No"). Wenn ich nun die manuelle Suche öffne, wird als default Keyword nur "James Bond 007 -" vorgegeben. Vermutlich hat er beim automatischen Scan auch nur nach dieser Zeichenkette gesucht. Weißt Du warum ???
2.) Sobald ich irgendwelche Titel manuell nachsuche, wird nur noch der aus den "Possible Matches" gewählte Name als Titel angezeigt, nicht aber der Dateiname aus dem Dateisystem.
Danke für Deine Hilfe und Grüße,
1graser

Hi 1graser,
hoffe Du bist einverstanden das ich Dir antworte.
Bei mir hat er alle 22 James Bond Filme gefunden und richtig sortiert.
Wobei ich sagen muss das meine Quelldateien anderst aussehen.
bei Moonraker lautet der Dateiname bei mir so:
Gruß

Deine Dateibenennung weicht zu sehr vom eigentlichen Filmtitel ab, deshalb wird keine Übereinstimmung auf IMDb gefunden. Normalerweise würde ich empfehlen, die IMDb ID dem Dateinamen hinzuzufügen. Aber da du ja einen modifizierten Scraper verwendest, der den Dateinamen als Filmtitel anzeigen soll, rate ich dir eine nfo oder txt Datei mit dem selben Dateinamen wie der Film anzulegen, in die du die Imdb ID schreibst.
Verwendest du noch andere Scraper oder hast du, wie ich es im ersten Post empfehle alle anderen ausgeschaltet? Ohne eine Logdatei ist es hier schwierig zu sagen, was da passiert.
