IMDb+ Plugin 2.1.0.291 with IMDb+ Scraper v4.9.xxx (13 Viewers)

Exactly this worked! Thanks very much. So no tt-number did the trick?

 

[KJ-Cox]

Yeah, search for the name without an imdb number. It must be missing from TMDB entry.

You say version number SHOULD be 5.0.1, but it gets automatically changed to 4.10.10. Of course I can manually change it back, but I'm curious as to how this happens. I had an issue before with a wrong version number and I am sure it was right before!

 

[KJ-Cox]

The version embedded in imdb+ is the older version. A reinstall of plugin would cause this problem. It's working fine for my two computers. Even if you did reinstall the plugin, the auto update would force the newer version when you run Mediaportal and the next day you run MP it would update the database. Outside of that I have no idea.

Just tried to add a movie to Moving Pictures using this scraper and after a match it says it has none.
Not sure why but all movies are currently failing. Not just IMDB+ it's other scrapers as well.

I did not experience a failure like you describe. It all works as it should.
I do have a strange small issue. I have entries in my custom XML:

<rename id="tt2948356" title="Zootopia I" />
<rename id="tt26443597" title="Zootopia II" />

I have both movies with folder names:

Zootopia tt2948356 (2016)
Zootopia 2 tt26443597 (2025)

Result from IMDb+:

Zootopia (2016)
Zootopia II (2025)

So the first Zootopia seems not to check custom. Like EWF I tried different file naming. No luck yet.

Can I verify for myself if the IMDb number is missing from TMDB? Can I add the number to TMDB if I login? How?

In the IMDB+ Scraper Options you might have the option enabled to Remove roman numeral from first movie.

The setting in Options of Remove ... first movie is disabled. I have always had all my movieseries start with I, so no change there. It still may be a missing tt-number from TMDB.
That URL you provided gives me an error, probably because it contains your own API-key. It should be my own, I think. I tried to change it, but result is the same. Maybe a screenshot if possible?
