IMDb+ Plugin 2.1.0.291 with IMDb+ Scraper v4.9.xxx (14 Viewers)

This works! When manually inserting the scraper it works like a dream and very fast too. Also using Custom. Thanks!
I suspect some error in the automatic updating through Manager. This works, so I think you have done enough!

I have three places with an MP install and IMDB+ working. Suddenly, one of them stopped working, but now all three do not scrape at all anymore. Any changes that you are aware of?

No updates to IMDB+ or Moving Pictures plugins.
Just tested and the scraper is working for me.
What version of IMDB+ scraper does it have in your Moving Pictures Data Source? Should be 5.0.1.

 

[fredco]

You were right. One of my installs IMDb+ did not have version 5.0.1. Now it does.
One issue remains from the start: I have a EWF concert, which is named:

Earth, Wind and Fire - Live tt5611926 (2001).mkv

And has an entry in the custom XML:

<rename id="tt5611926" title="Earth, Wind and Fire - Live" />

This is completely ignored and not being picked up by the scraper. Why?

 

[KJ-Cox]

Try a name without commas or dashes

 

[fredco]

I changed the name to:

Earth Wind and Fire Live tt5611926 (2001).mkv

Same result.

 

[KJ-Cox]

Try moving the imdb to the end

Same result.

It's because that is not in TMDB.

Earth Wind and Fire — The Movie Database (TMDB)

The Movie Database (TMDB) is a popular, user editable database for movies and TV shows.

www.themoviedb.org

You can sign up free and submit your request to add the movie.
The scraper gets all the information from TMDB, so it cannot do a rename on nothing.

As a workaround add this line to your Rename dBase IMDb+ Scraper (Custom).xml
<rename id="tt0294912" title="Earth, Wind and Fire: Live" />

Then rename your file to
Earth Wind and Fire Live (2001) tt0294912.mkv

I already checked themoviedb.org and it is there:

Earth Wind & Fire - Live

One of the hottest R&B groups of all time, the legendary Earth, Wind and Fire in concert define excitement. Performing hit after hit in their distinctive style, the band gives everything they've got in this concert, captured live on their remarkable 1994 SRO tour of Japan, co-founder Maurice...

I even added the TMDB number to the filename, no luck.
