IMDb+ Plugin 2.0.0.281 with IMDb+ Scraper v4.9.41 (3 Viewers)

[RoChess]

i would like to have your plugin, support also MyVidéo

PS : imdb.fr ( and i think all imdb.xxx) is death, except imdb.com
so all infos are in english now only Tmdb have for all language.

I still don't run MePo 1.3 yet myself, so I haven't been able to look at MyVideos scraper system and see if I can add support.

And yes, Amazon killed the foreign localized versions, which I would have understood if they want to have everybody use imdb.com, but they removed the localized summary aspect, so there is no way for me to get the foreign data on that anymore until they fix it. Since title does work, I thought it was just a matter of being patient, but I have a bad feeling now they aren't in any rush to do the same for summary

TMDb requires API access keys, which is not doable with XML scraper-script. This is why the TMDb scraper build into MovPic is C# based. I could do the same trick I did for moviemeter.nl and use my own webserver as API-proxy, but will have to think about that.

Adding Media-Passing might be possible if they allow a GET method to convert IMDb tt-ID into their own ID. Do you happen to know if they do?

Have to assume you actually know French, so perhaps you can help me.

I was able to get as far as: http://wiki.passion-xbmc.org/Aide:API#Pr.C3.A9ambule_:_S.C3.A9curit.C3.A9_des_identifiants

That means I have to request API access, and get username, password and API key. I can do the SHA hash calculation on password external and save the result within XML scraper-script, so I should be able to execute the GET command to get an XML response back. Of course have to verify it with the owners of passion-xbmc as well if they allow access this way.

The same is done for Icelandic language support inside IMDb+ where Avatar allows me to do the following: http://kvikmyndir.is/xml/movingpictures/?id=0499549

So if you can help me go through the process with passion-xbmc (not sure if Google translate will be enough) to get that far, then I can do the 'Movie Search' part as defined on that WIKI link further down, and I'll be able to restore French title+summary functionality into IMDb+. Infact if I do a seperate query via Movie.GetInfo I will be able to get genre and certifcation as well (even artwork looks possible). Shame actually that they do not have an additional parameter for Movie.Search to also provide those 2 attributes, so I could do it all in one fell swoop, but the 2 seperate queries will work, just puts more strain on their servers.

Of course I might be able to do all the above with TMDb as well and add support for a lot more languages, but I believe their API access requires more communication so I can not reduce it to a GET query as easy as passion-xbmc appears to allow.

As for MePo v1.3, I've had the parts for my new HTPC since Black Friday, infact it was running fine at one point, but I had to harvest parts out of it, so it is temporary down. It's running Windows 8 (soon to become 8.1), MediaPortal v1.3 with all the plugins I use, and all the tweaks to make system boot straight into MePo. I did finally get around to tweak Titan skin as well into what I refer to as Titan+, so it is all to my liking. But I still have to test SteamedMP and Avallonis White to see what skin will actually become my new default. My wife will bring hell down upon me if I break the main HTPC or keep adjusting skins on her, which is why it takes me extra long to test new stuff and I usually end up sticking with older versions when I've reached a 'it works stable' point. She is prepared for all the changes MePo v1.3/4 are bringing, and she actually mentioned how Titan 'looks pretty'.

Yes, it use original IMDB for grabb and saves 2 ID (Imdb and MediaPassion-ID ) in DB also !
Media Passion offer abaility to grabb Info ( French and English) , Covers (maybe for each country), CdART, Fanart, movie set ....

Ok, your other post confused me, because your wording was negative on providing help. Must be the non-native language barrier.

Well what I need is all defined in the previous post, so you think you can help me obtain that?

In short:

1. API key
2. API username
3. API password
4. Question answered if placing the full GET request for Movie.Search with username+SHA(password) in an open-sourced XML file still retains account usage as it can be easaly exploited by others without my control. Of course the same can be done on other solutions via WireShark, mine will just be exposed more open via SVN.
5. If they support a TMDb API alike method of 'append_to_request' to condense the API requests from 2+ into just 1.

Thank you

Are Titan Screenshots for Wiki still required?
