MovieMeter.nl Scraper Script Update (1 Viewer)

[Justchill]

Where do I have to put this XML ?

anyone?

Goto the config screen. Click the Importer Settings tab. Click the "Movie Details Data Sources" button. You can use the toolbar to add new or update existing scripts.

What is the status on this?

The current script should still work fine (recently also had a cover grabber added ) and i'm currently testing a new dataprovider (using the special API) for moviemeter.nl. I don't think you would notice much differences between the scraper and the dataprovider. However it should improve the time it takes to get movie information and it can lookup movies using imdb id. I can't give you an exact ETA because there's a lot of other stuff that needs to be done first

Alright, thanks for the detailed answer!

It seems like the scraper isn't downloading writer info anymore. Is this possible?

 

[Schenk2302]

Yes, that's right, there's no writers block in this. Moviemeter site has no writers info, so you have to get this from imdb.

 

[armandp]

Correct, there's no writers data on the source (it never retrieved that data in the first place)

 

[Zinu]

Hmm, I guess i totally missed that then. Sorry

It would even be more awesome if the scraper would get the summary (in Dutch) from Moviemeter.nl and the rest of the film info (rating/votes/stars/plotline/actors/runtime/etc.) from imdb.com
