[QUOTE="RoChess, post: 800784, member: 18896"] [b]Re: IMDb+ Scraper - Movie Scraping on Steroids v3.3.3[/b] You are welcome :D I'm going to be enhancing the IMDb+ scraper-script with the following: [list][*]Add a simplified debugging system. Right now there are a few additional logging entries made by the scraper to indicate some serious errors and show what it is doing, but when imdb.com or RottenTomatoes changes their website it still is not enough to find a fix. So want to add some more debugging that can be activated by the user via IMDb+ plugin and which will allow me to find problems without needing scraper-debug mode to be enabled in MovingPictures configuration. [*]Improve search auto approval rate by skipping TV-Series by default, but allowing for option to enable it. That way if a user adds "Ghostbusters.avi" it is not automatched with the TV-Series from 1986, but with the movie from 1984. The movie is named "Ghost Busters" (with an AKA title that is correct), but the TV-Series is matched as "Ghostbusters" via an exact-title match, which is ranked higher. The reason I'm not totally eliminating support for "TV Series", is because some users might prefer to have for example "Planet Earth" or mini-series that are very movie-like such as "Band of Brothers" & "The Pacific" added to MovingPictures and not the MP-TVSeries plugin. [*]Support for Dutch based MovieMeter.nl. I've already finished the PHP based proxy script, but need to add this to the scraper script (and plugin as selectable language). It also needs more stress-testing to make sure it aborts properly. [*]Support for localized titles for the supported foreign languages, including rename system to group titles, based on English database series prefix and localized subtitle.

[/list] Some of the above features will take longer then others, so they will be released as things progress, and some might be delayed to allow for a less hectic update regime.
