[QUOTE="RoChess, post: 1014457, member: 18896"] Fixed with v2.0.6, they indeed changed HTML code again, so adjusted the regular expressions to match. However, on a test with "The Wolverine (2013)", it found the correct IMDb tt-ID via "Lobezno inmortal (2013)". This is a fuzzy match, meaning an IMDb search is done after a match has been found with the FilmAffinity search system. That means no user interaction is possible anymore, and the scraper-script has to be 100% positive it is the right movie. Would be a lot easier if FilmAffinity had a reference to the IMDb tt-ID number themselves, but they never it make it easy. Still the existing method works, because IMDb does have a large collection of alternative titles in their database. To make sure the movie found is the right one, a match on year is done as well. So if you are still having issues with movies, give me some more info please so I can find out what is the cause and possibly figure out a solution. [/QUOTE]
