Moviescraper
« on: October 07, 2013, 09:55:12 AM »
Hi,

I have a bunch of european movies that I tried to scrape. The scraper got all the titles and fanart correct but there is no plot outline. I did edit them all manually in the xml file but then I only see the plot outline in the overview and not when u click on the actual movie itself. Is there any easy way to have these movie scanned properly? And if not where do I edit the plot on the actual movie page itself?

There may not be a plot outline in your languge. You can try changing to  a second language in Setup...or failing that please add one to  the database. Don't just make your  own via the XML. Remember  all  the scrape you have found so  far was posted by other movie fans.

you would need an online account:-

Or you might not work in jukebox mode.
Is jukebox mode set to on in setup?
Did you map the top folder to favorites and open from the favorite menu?

Jukebox is on and the folder is in favorites. I think I have to set the jukebox language to english instead of dutch to make it work then

Can you give some example titles of movies that are missing plots?
It is easy to verify then if Dutch translation is avail on themoviedb website.
If it is not there, then it is sure that it is the root cause.

None of the mentioned movies had a Dutch translation on TheMovieDB.

So next time you can do the following when you run into the same:
1] add a translation yourself and contribute to https://www.themoviedb.org
Just create an account over there - it is pretty simple to add translations
2] or set temp the setting to English if you don't care to have English plot only.

I have just added all Dutch translations for these movies now (to show you that it will work), so you should be able to get Dutch plots when TheMovieDB has synchronised them to their api cache.
Do a rescrape tomorrow and I you sill get Dutch for those.

Editing the xml file doesnt help when into the movie box cause the info in the screen is in image format (.png)...

But it's possible to  rebuild the scrape as that function is needed if you want  a different scrape skin. You don't have to  re-scrape to re-skin.

It isn't the way it should be done as it means users are bypassing the scrape sharing agreement. Users should be willing to  add scrape to  the database, not just use what's there.

You can edit xml and then rebuild the about.jpg file.
Trick is to manually remove the about.jpg file, edit the xml file and do a new scan to rebuild the about.jpg

See this tip:
http://www.mede8erforum.com/index.php/topic,12159.0.html

But still best way is to contribute to https://www.themoviedb.org and add the translation.....
That will help to get as much as content avail for the scraper and everybody taking having the benefits of that.

That is way there are so many things online to autoscrape already - it is a community effort where everybody does some parts.....

You can..by changing the Scrape Language. A re-scrape with a different lanaguge should only add unscraped movies.  That might need fine tuning as you might  get a scrape with no XML the first time.

I thought you had no XML becuase there was no entry in your language?   Is it giving you  scrape in the wrong lanaguge, rather than no scrape?
