[QUOTE="Matt Kirby, post: 719065, member: 95689"] [b]Re: IMDb+ Scraper (short/long summary, imdb/RT score, US/UK rating, and more)[/b] I'm in the UK and I've also had issues getting the wrong title for films, and I've come up with a work-around / fix. I followed Rochess's notes on looking at the HTML source from IMDB, and I was seeing "GB" for the country-code. As RoChess said, this scraper checks to find one of US|UK|CA|AU|NZ, if it does find one of these codes it uses the main title, if not it uses the "Also known as" title. If anyone (in the UK) wants to manually fix this themselves, it's a fairly simple fix: Open the .xml file for this scraper Search for "US|UK|CA|AU|NZ", and replace with "US|UK|GB|CA|AU|NZ" (not sure if UK is even needed or used, my guess is that it doesn't hurt to leave it in!) Save You will then need to remove this scrapper from MovingPictures and re-add it I think (not too sure on this one!) Then, refresh movie details from internet for each of your incorrect films Now for some guess-work. For people who are not in US|UK|CA|AU|NZ who want to use the main IMDB title using this scraper, you might be able to get it to work by doing the following, but a lot of this is guess-work, and I have no idea if this will cause other issues, so do so at your own risk: Search for a film on IMDB, and then view the HTML source of the film's page. On line 49 you should (hopefully) find the country code that IMDB is using for your country. It should be a 2 letter code, surrounded by quote marks, and should have "title" in the line above. I am making several assumptions here- the country code might not always be on line 49, and I have no idea how IMDB's region detection works for their website! Assuming that you've found your country-code (and you want to use the main IMDB title rather than the "Also known as" title), edit the .xml file (as above) to enter your country code to the filter list. Once again, this is based on guess-work and several assumptions, so YMMV. [USER=18896]RoChess[/USER]: thanks for all your work on this, this scraper is great! I've always wanted my films collection to show the UK cinema rating, which this scraper does for me excellently. Could you add "GB" to the official version of this scraper, as "GB" is the correct country code for the UK and seems to be what IMDB is using. I don't think that UK would even be needed in your scraper. Many thanks. [/QUOTE]
