Message: <blockquote data-quote="RoChess" data-source="post: 727625" data-attributes="member: 18896">Re: IMDb+ Scraper (short/long summary, imdb/RT score, US/UK rating, and more)I had serious delays today as well caused by themoviedb scraper, and it was enabled at the lowest priority. I forgot it was still enabled, because I knew of the issues regarding the scraper. In the end I just deleted (actual delete, not disabled) all the other scrapers to clean up the list, and was left with IMDb+ (1st), CDUniverse (2nd) and XBMC (3rd), but I kept themoviedb disabled as 4th.Reason for disabling themoviedb and not delete, is because I do still use it for fanarts and cover backup, and if you delete a scraper it is gone for all 3 methods. So for covers I have Local Data (1st), IMDb+ (2nd), themoviedb.org (3rd), moviepostersdb.com (4th), CDUniverse.com (5th), and XBMC (6th) with the rest deleted. For fanarts Local Data (1st), themoviedb (2nd), XBMC (3rd) with the rest deleted.However, what you also need to pay attention to is the "Primary Source" field when you look at a movie entry in the "Movie Manager" tab. If this is blank or has another scraper entry besides "IMDb+", then when you refresh the movie the IMDb+ scraper is *NOT* used. To fix this you have to sent the movie back to the importer, and as long as IMDb+ is in the 1st priority position it will be assigned as primary source.You can also fix this via other ways, such as editing the db3 database file with an SQLite editor, but it is much easier to use the above methods to avoid any problems.PS: All my own movies have all been imported with the imdb.com <id>874902</id> scraper (usually my own modified version), so what I did was replace the ID on the IMDb+ scraper to match this. This way when I updated the scraper script, it automatically adjusted the "Primary Source" on all my movies to "IMDb+", so that a simple refresh was enough to try out the new scraper version. That is when I discovered the bugs in v3.0.9 that lead to v3.1.0 when manually refreshing roughly 350 movies, that was a mix of foreign and English titles.Normally I would then highlight my entire collection, by highlighting the first movie, and then SHIFT+END to refresh all of them, but I have a few series grouped by title via manual title changes. So I need to find/verify that list first, so I can redo all the title changes after a mass update to retain the grouped series.PPS: "Seven Swords (Uncut).avi" is somewhat of a gamble in regards of a match. The scraper will locate <a href="http://akas.imdb.com/find?s=all&q=Seven+Swords+%28Uncut%29" target="_blank">these imdb.com results</a>,  and indeed it has <a href="http://akas.imdb.com/title/tt0429078/" target="_blank">Qi jian (2005)</a> as 1st entry, but the '(Uncut)' part of your filename could prevent an automatic match from happening. It is extra work, but if you rename the file to "Seven Swords (Uncut) [tt0429078].avi", then it will always be a 100% auto-approved match. After you have imported a movie, you can actually have MovingPictures rename all your files in such a format by editing the advanced settings. Then in the future for unforseen reasons if you ever have to reimport your collection it will not require any manual verification.</blockquote>
