[QUOTE="RoChess, post: 812333, member: 18896"] [b]Re: IMDb+ Scraper - Movie Scraping on Steroids v3.3.9[/b] I can add support for any other movie website that allows me to get a direct match when I provide it with an IMDb tt-ID. The multi-language support is done at details node only, so imdb.com is used to do the search-node to locate the correct movie, and then the correct IMDb tt-ID is available, which can then be used at other website that supports it. So far this includes imdb.de (German), imdb.fr (French), imdb.es (Spanish), imdb.pt (Portugese), imdb.it (Italian), filmtipset.se (Swedish), kvikmyndir.is (Icelandic) and finally moviemeter.nl (Dutch). Find me a Polish movie site that gets me to "Avatar" via tt0499549 and I can add support for it. This is one of the enhancements already planned for next version, but because it also required an update to IMDb+ plugin to expose the new scraper-script option, I could not release a new version yet. If you want to use your modifications now, you need to use an SQLite tool to edit the 'scripts' table, because that is where scraper-scripts have always been stored by MovingPictures. The last row should be the current v3.3.9 edition of IMDb+. The IMDb+ plugin downloads and installs the IMDb+ scraper-script and inserts it directly into the MovingPictures database once you start MediaPortal GUI and the plugin is run for the first time. We're trying to expand it so that you can do the download+install of the scraper-script while inside MediaPortal config, but that is easier said then done. When you open MovingPictures config, and manually manage the scraper-scripts, what do you all see then? It should look something like: [center][img]http://blixy.net/mp/FAQ.MovingPictures.1c_Movie.Details.Data.Sources.png[/img][/center] Look for "IMDb+" in there, if it is grey then use the [+] icon to enable it, and move it up to the top position to ensure that it gets used. If you do not see it, try re-installing the IMDb+ plugin and launch MediaPortal GUI to see if it will then try to install it for you. You should see: [center][img]http://blixy.net/mp/IMDb+/MePo.IMDb+.1.png[/img][/center] Which should show v3.3.9 got installed (current version of IMDb+ scraper-script). Then you can open IMDb+ plugin and adjust all the options to your liking (such as Spanish for language), and then use the hidden menu option "Force IMDb+" to switch all your existing movies over and use the refresh method to update all your existing movies via the IMDb+ scraper.
