Use multiple or combined grabbers (1 Viewer)

[psiebe]

Currently I am using moviemeter.nl to retrieve details for my films, it's quite accurate and the info is in Dutch, which is better for me. However, I don't like the rating system on that site (or the raters and I would like to be able to grab tag-lines.

Would it be possible to grab those fields separately from IMDB, or combine calls from that script somehow?

thx,
Patrick

in 0.8 it will be possible to use multiple dataproviders to grab detail information.
However this system will work in such a way that only information not filled by the previous provider will be updated by the next provider.

Currently you can create your own hybrid moviemeter/imdb to do what you want.

That's great though, thanks for the reply

And how do I do that?

What I want is moviemeter info and Imdb rating.

Try the following:

1) Duplicate the moviemeter script.. give it a new name, ID and version
2) Remove the part from the new moviemeter script where it fills the rating
3) Setup your data providers so that the new moviemeter script is primary and the imdb script is secondary

now imdb will fill the rating because moviemeter doesn't provide it.

edit: just remembered that moviemeter isn't a script anymore :/ anyway you can also do the reverse then.. make a new imdb script that only does the Title, Year and the Rating and moviemeter will fill the rest

Thx I guess, but I don't know how to make scripts and such. Can you make it for me? That would be awesome!

I guess I'm not that smart. I don't understand what to do.

So you succesfully made a scraper with imdb rating and moviemeter info? If so, can I borrow it
