[QUOTE="RoChess, post: 801249, member: 18896"] [b]Re: IMDb+ Scraper - Movie Scraping on Steroids v3.3.3[/b] I'm getting awesome help to add a new option to the plugin that will "Force IMDb+..." on more then juse the default IMDb scraper. Plan was to first add only TheMovieDb as forceable option, but will look into possability of a universal system that supports any scraper-script that put a valid IMDb tt-ID into the database. Yes, as mentioned in the description, only the short summary on the main details page is currently supported. This scraper already does a massive amount of fetching HTML pages and is therefore very large in scraper-script code (almost 5x laster then default IMDb scraper right now), so I did not add in yet that the foreign scrapers can obtain the 'long' summary from that plotsummary page. But it is on the ToDo list :) As for OFDb.de support, I was impressed with that Merlyn did with the FilmInfo+ scraper that he made after seeing this one. So I figured I would add basic German support from imdb.de as it was only a few lines extra, but it would be no problem to also add "German (OFDb.de)" support or perhaps just combine it into the current imdb.de support. I'll add it to my ToDo list, but you might want to also have a look at the FilmInfo+ scraper on the forum, it is maintained by somebody who actually knows German, so the results should be much more to your liking. In the meantime, I'll add OFDb.de support on the ToDo list, but it will go to the bottom. I am working on 'proper' support for foreign titles, however you can trick the current system to some degree. [list][*]Original Title = OFF [*]Country Filter = Add Sweden to the list, so "us|ca|gb|ie|au|nz|se" [*]Language Filter = Add Swedish to the list, so "en|sv"[/list] NOTE: The virtual keyboard doesn't support |, so it will show '.' (dots) This should in theory give you Swedish titles when imdb.com has a Swedish title available. It only works for when imdb.com shows you the title in your language when you go to imdb.com. For example if I visit: [b][url=http://imdb.com/title/tt1132620/]The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2009)[/url][/b], I get: [list][*]Title = The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2009) [*]Original Title = Män som hatar kvinnor (original title)[/list] But you looking at the exact same page from Sweden are probably getting: [list][*]Title = Män som hatar kvinnor (2009)[/list] If that is the case, then accepting 'sv' as language and 'se' as country, will make my scraper accept that title as if it was an English one. It will then still "translate" other foreign movies into English, such as the Dutch movie "Zwartboek". And hopefully I'll get proper support working, which will rely on the localized title from the Filmtipset.se site for proper Swedish titles. Awesome, please get me a few screenshots, so I can update Wiki. Preferably one of the main screen that shows different options then the current DefaultWide, aMPed and StreamedMP screenshots do. The only option right now would be to manually do via fancy SQL queries what the plugin is going to do for you soon, or to simply delete all your existing movies (use the same method as you would to mass-refresh in config, but use the 'X' to delete instead of icon to refresh), and then you go to the import tab and use the gear icon to unignore all the movies you just deleted. But this method will remove any watched flag (unless you are using Follw.it or Trakt) and the date-added info will be gone. So yes, wait :D I got a feeling before the end of the month, if not sooner.
