Spanish Scraper FilmAffinity.com with IMDb.es bonus to get fanarts -- v2.1.0 (1 Viewer)

Fixed @RoChess. THANKS again.

If I find any problem I'll provide log from now over.

I found two rather unknown child films which have same behaviour: "send to importer" doesn't retrieve imdb id, when you "refresh movie info", then you get it. Log attached for both films.

@peque, one quick thing to notice, is that "La.Estrella.de.Laura.(Spanish.English).DVD-Rip.XviD-AC3.by.mercedes.avi" is turned into "La Estrella de Laura (Spanish English) DVD-Rip - by mercedes" to search for a title. It then finds "La Estrella de Laura", but it can not auto-approve, because there is a 56-char difference in exact title match.

This is what the noise filter in advanced settings is for, you could for example add |\(.+ at the end it always strip everything from the title after the first parenthesis. Then "La.Estrella.de.Laura.(Spanish.English).DVD-Rip.XviD-AC3.by.mercedes.avi" is turned into "La Estrella de Laura" and an auto-match would occur.

Of course you might have a filename that then fails, so you would have to provide me with a full list of all your filenames with a parenthesis in it, so I can expand on the regular expression for the noise filter to not generate false positives.

(will look at the rest of the log file later for why they fail to get the IMDb.com details after you manually approved them)

Ok, found problem faster then I thought it would.

Filmaffinity detail page = http://www.filmaffinity.com/es/film234240.html
Filmaffinity title = "La estrella de Laura"

IMDb.com search = http://akas.imdb.com/find?s=tt&q=La%20estrella%20de%20Laura
IMDb.com search result = no match found for title+year​

Solution though is to look for Filmaffinity "Título original = Lauras Stern (Laura's Star)"

IMDb.com search then becomes = http://akas.imdb.com/find?s=tt&q=Lauras+Stern
First match = right one (though still complicated to match due to additional AKA situation, but at least possible to figure something out)​

Will have to think about it a bit more to see what the best solution is; as it is also never a good idea to go by one movie result that could cause other results to break.

Hi Rochess,
I am getting a mistaken info for popularity field. Number got is very low and does not correspond to "votos" on filmaffinity. For instance "Diario de un escandalo" gives to me 170 for popularity and correct number is 10467.
Maybe some change in filmaffinity?

Thanks in advance.
Mario

Try v2.1.2, and let me know if that fixed it.

Hi RoChess, I just noticed I did not thank you for your last solution. so Thanks now.
Some change must be happen in filmaffinity because since last days actors field become something like this instead of the name of the actors.
Any idea?

Try v2.1.3

FilmAffinity changed their HTML code again, wrapped a <span> around the actors name that was not there before, but v2.1.3 will compensate for that now.

 

[alamagar]

it works perfectly! thanks again RoChess

 

[RoChess]

Enjoy.

I am sure FilmAffinity will change something again soon, so just post again what they broke and I'll do my best to fix it.
