Message: <blockquote data-quote="Guzzi" data-source="post: 687584" data-attributes="member: 55213">This tool is beta and NOT intended for endusers!After some request for it, I post the utility, that is used to create and modify grabber scripts for myfilms.Afaik it's initially written by titof, who was supplying grabbers in the past.Due to changes on some websites - including imdb - some of the grabbers aren't fully working anymore.So if anybody is willing to try, existing grabber could be optimized or new grabbers could be posted here.To make it easier, I recompiled the latest sources from sourceforge and made an english translation (original language was french).So all tooltips should now give explanations on how to use it - mainly it's a GUI to set grabber options and store them in the grabberscript.Usage:- Create a new grabberscript (or open an existing one)- To add a site, you should firt go to the site and run a search - then copy the URL, that is used for search in the respective field and replace the name of the movie you were searching for with #Search# - if the result also has several pages, replace the pagenumber with #Page#.- you then can load this page in the utility with a searchword and get the results in the bottomscreen- set the rules to find info on the page - mainly it's about finding strings that identify the positions in the websitesourcecode- set the rules for details (the URL to the page you identified on the searchscreen)- save the results and testTry to use identificationstrings that are not changing too often, otherwise the grabber would fail after even small changes on the website.As a start I would recommend to open some of the existing scripts and see, how it's working.There are still some bugs in the tool an I just provide it for testing.Included in the package are the latest scripts delivered with AMCupdater - new scripts for testing could be posted here.</blockquote>
