Hi, have a stuborn movie.. It imports ok, but doesn't download any art and I have no idea why.. Hugo (2011). Looked on themoviedb and art is present. Any idea what the problem is?

Thanks!

You did not provide a lot of info, so all I could do was recreate it on a wild guess of what might go wrong (filename gets matched up with wrong movie).

So trying "Hugo (2011).avi" it ends up getting matched with: http://akas.imdb.com/title/tt1922620/ which is an exact match on title and year, but just happens to be some 12min short.

I'll see if I can finetune the matching algorithms to prevent that from happening, but it usually sorts itself out quick as IMDb website adjusts the results.

In the meantime, adjust tile to "Hugo (tt0970179) (2011).avi" or create "Hugo (2011).nfo" that contains 'tt0970179' and have the simple NFO system enabled in Moving-Pictures. Then sent movie back to importer.

Ok, the mystery is even larger.

Search with "Hugo (2011)" = redirects immediatly to 12min short = http://akas.imdb.com/find?s=tt;q=Hugo+(2011)
Search with "hugo (2011)" = shows proper search results that would get the right movie = http://akas.imdb.com/find?s=tt;q=hugo+(2011)

This seems to be a 'bug' at IMDb website though, so I hate to make a rush jump to modify the IMDb+ scraper-script that could break something else when for all I know the developers of IMDb website will fix their 'bug' soon.

So please use the temporary solution to add the IMDb tt-ID reference to filename, foldername or NFO file. In the meantime I'll try to see if I can figure out best way to deal with this issue.

Hi, thanks again for the help.

As I said in the original post, I thought it was importing the correct movie, but it was not downloading any artwork. Maybe it was actually grabbing the 12min short details. I will manually find the movie with the IMDB movie ID as you suggest.

Thanks alot

You clearly found a bug, but the bug lies with the IMDb website search engine.

From what I found, I could implement a work around by lower-casing the title before doing a search. For some weird reason 'hugo' works when 'Hugo' does not. But a seemingly small chance like that could have big impact on other search results, so can not go lightly about it and need to do a lot of testing first.

But in the meantime, you can add the movie correct via the IMDb tt-ID method.
