Multiple Database source for movie details (1 Viewer)

[Seb120]

Hi,
First i want to thanks the people working on this plug-in who is for me the best on MP.

My question
Is it possible to have differents data source for movie details. My wish is to have every fields get from IMdb except for : title, sort by and summary i want it from Allocine (French database source).

My MP
Media Portal 1.1.0.0
StreamedMP 0.9.601
Moving Picture 1.0 Beta 2
On Windows Vista Home Prenium (32bit)

If somebody know how to do that or where i can find a solution. Please tell me

Sorry for bad english.

The Moving Picture plugin will use the imdb.com scraper to complete all the missing information that your other scrapers failed to obtain. However for the imdb.com scraper to do so, it would need to have the IMDb ID number, as in the tt.... code.

For 'The Wolfman' for example, that would be tt0780653, but there is no reference on Allocine to that ID, as per: Wolfman Bande-annonce VF - AlloCiné

Now the NFO scraper would be your rescue. The Moving Picture plugin is able to obtain the IMDb ID from this file. But I don't think this scraper still gets used to obtain the IMDb ID if your French scraper found an auto-approved match. The XMBC NFO Scraper might then work, but not sure how the combination would play out.

Thanks for your help i think i find a solution. I make a fresh scan of my movies today with Allocine (french scraper) and i notice 2 things :

- All the field who was not get from Allocine scraper was by IMdb
- The Imdb ID was almost alway here (i keep the original release nfo in my movies folders maybe it help).

But i realy like to have the IMdb rating (who i think is the world best movie rating) but the scraper give me the one from Allocine.
Is there a way to make the rating inactive on the allocine scraper ??? So maybe the IMdb scraper will do the rest.

Yes, you could edit the scraper script and add your own version to remove the rating part on the Allocine one (read the <!-- remarks -->). Just make a backup, before you make any changes, incase things go wrong

Where is it located ? I can't find it. I use vista

Well it is inside the database, so an easier way is to grab the source from SVN @ Allocine.xml - moving-pictures - Project Hosting on Google Code

First modify "<id>874930</id>" into "<id>874931</id>" so that your custom version doesn't mess with the existing one, and then edit out the <!-- Score --> section to disable the Allocine ratings.

Save it and import it as a new scraper (place it above the existing one, or simply disable that one).
