IMDb+ scraper-script v4.4.0 released.

Weird bug in IMDb new search system were "title+(year)" can sometimes fail if the title is not EXACTLY right. So added second search with just "title" if that happens. Thanks go to @TheBatfink for providing me with the log files that revealed what was going wrong.

It is not a critical bug for most users, so just relax for 24 hours to pass by and IMDb+ plugin will update automatic on default settings.

IMDb+ scraper-script v4.4.1 released.

By helping the users of FilmInfo+ script, I stumbled on another change IMDb did to their search system and that is switch to UTF-8 encoding for special characters. So if you ever end up with "De fûke (2000).avi" or an alike weird-character filename, it will import correctly now

IMDb+ scraper-script v4.4.2 released.

Icelandic language should work correct again. The source site stated they use UTF-8 and all pointed towards that as well, but in reality was using a different encoding all together. Was a little headscratcher, but is all fixed now.

IMDb+ scraper-script v4.4.3 released.

Thanks to @kiwijunglist fixed another bug (two actually) that caused search results to be skipped when multiple movies with the same title were released in the same year. IMDb changed their results from "Title (year/I)" to "Title (I) (year)", so had to compensate for that inside regular expression. The other bug related to the way the no-year additional search worked that was added in v4.4.0, which is now fixed as well. It would only have a 1 in a thousand chance of ever surfacing for somebody, but better safe then sorry

IMDb+ scraper script v4.4.4 released.

Fixed foreign language issues for sources that have unsafe headers. This was especially needed to fix Icelandic languages for Moving-Pictures v1.4.x, but might also have fixed some reported issues on Dutch languages (please reply if it did).

IMDb+ scraper script v4.4.5 released.

Fixed Icelandic genres.

IMDb+ scraper script v.4.4.6 released.

TV mini-series now work again. IMDb is using new HTML syntax, so once again had to adjust RegExps to match. I hope one of these days they will settle on everything and leave it alone

Thanks for the quick fix. Sent you a beer.

Is there a problem again? Notice I'm only getting matches from tmdb again and no imdb.

Also, is there a reason why matches with imdb+ have stopped putting [imdb+] at the end of the match.. I never know if its imdb+ or not these days..

Debug logs attached. Thanks.

MovPic does that, and it only puts [IMDb+] behind it when multiple scrapers found a match... if something auto-approves as the only scraper that found something then nothing is shown, and this is normally supposed to be IMDb+ as it will position itself as primary scraper-script. Problem is that you never quite know for 100% sure. So I've put in a request to always append [<scraper-name>] for that reason, but I guess it was deemed low priority.

As for your other matter. You got scraper-debug mode enabled. The IMDb+ plugin looks to have trouble updating the scraper-script the normal way and remains stuck at v4.0.1, because MovPic allows weird debug methods to be used in scraper-debug mode. This shows in IMDb+ log as: 23/12/2012 17:36:59[Check for Updates][24][Warning] Load Script Warning: Scraper debug-mode enabled, so existing script was replaced.

This is normally still supposed to work, but I don't know if this is a bug with IMDb+ plugin or with MovPic, but results are as reliable as a coin flip. Disable scraper-script debugging and allow IMDb+ plugin to update inside MediaPortal GUI. IMDb+ v4.4.6 is current, which you can verify via IMDb+ plugin hidden menu -> "IMDb+ Info..."

I really should push out a new IMDb+ plugin that bundles the current IMDb+ scraper-script, but the auto-update system normally works fine and I've got a lot of additional features I want to integrate at the same time.

By the way, do you have any clue how you might have ended up with IMDb+ scraper-script v4.0.1 again? Did you restore a backup?

PS: You also had some other funky errors in log file, such as: 23-Dec-2012 18:30:04 Debug [DirectoryInfoExtensi]: Error while retrieving files/directories for: \\SERVER\Data\Movies\Scooby Doo Camp Scare (2010) System.IO.IOException: The specified network name is no longer available. This might be underlying cause for other serious issues, so keep an eye on it.
