I would appreciate any help from users familiar with MovingPictures scraper engine to update the default IMDb script for support of 'Release Dates' and 'Plot Keywords'. Collections is not supported on IMDb as far as I know.

For 'Collections' support as well as the other new fields in this release (plot keywords and release date) you can use the TheMovieDB scraper or IMDb+ (Rochess scraper/plugin):

Note: TheMovieDB scraper is built into the plugin, for IMDb+ you need to install it separately.

I would appreciate any help from users familiar with MovingPictures scraper engine to update the default IMDb script for support of 'Release Dates' and 'Plot Keywords'. Collections is not supported on IMDb as far as I know.

IMDb+ relies on the same source of imdb.com as the default IMDb scraper-script, so the scraper-script code I use inside IMDb+ for regular fields can be used as-is. Granted you do need to skip over all the IMDb+ specific stuff then, so I've made it easy:

Release Date:

 <!-- Release Date -->
 <set name="rx_release_date">
 <![CDATA[
 <h4 class="inline">Release Date:</h4>\s*(?<releaseDate>\d{1,2}\s*[^\s]+\s*\d{4})
 ]]>
 </set>
 <parse name="release_date" input="${details_page}" regex="${rx_release_date}" />
 <set name="movie.release_date" value="${release_date[0][0]}" />

Plot Keywords:

 <!-- Plot Keywords -->
 <set name="rx_plotkeywords">
 <![CDATA[
 <h4[^>]+>Plot Keywords:</h4>\s*(?<moviePlotKeywords>.+?)(?:&nbsp;|<nobr>|See more|</div>)
 ]]>
 </set>
 <parse name="plotkeywords" input="${details_page}" regex="${rx_plotkeywords}" />
 <set name="plotkeywords_clean" value="|${plotkeywords[0][0]:striptags}|" />
 <replace name="movie.plotkeywords" input="${plotkeywords_clean:htmldecode}" pattern="\s*[|]+\s*" with="|" />

Collections are indeed impossible to do with the info that Amazon/IMDb currently provides. That is what lead me to the semi-automatic method that IMDb+ now uses. However MovPic is setup to rely on other scraper-scripts when fields are empty. The IMDb tt-ID allows for a perfect connection between IMDb and TMDb, so technically it would still work, provided the 'collections' field is set as such a field to allow other scraper-scripts to update it when it is empty.

Thanks Rochess, I will need to test if 'collections' gets filled in when falling back to other sources.

Update: just tested it on 'The Smurfs 2' and it filled the collection field with 'The Smurfs (Theatrical Series)' from TheMovieDB even though IMDb+ was used to to import data from which was missing collection info.
