Downloaded Ratings sometimes do not appear #754

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
With many of my movies, the current IMDB rating does not seem to get
downloaded (leaving it a 0/10 on MP).  You can see all of the ones here
that did not get a rating: http://thesoundaswordmakes.com/movies/  .  

I don't know if this is a bug, or a setting that requires a minimum amount
of ratings perhaps?  Either way, I think we should have control of this...

Also, is there a way to set an "auto update rating data" setting?

LRFalk01, when you have a free moment would you mind investigating this?

Scott, can you please verify what your scraper versions are?

MovingPictures configuration -> "Importer Settings" tab -> "Manually Manage" -
> "Movie Details Data Sources", and it should look like: 
http://blixy.net/mp/FAQ.MovingPictures.1c_Movie.Details.Data.Sources.png

The latest version of IMDb scraper is v1.4.7, because the rating problem was 
present 
in older versions, but pretty it is fixed. I will verify (imdb.com keeps 
modifying 
their website), but maybe it is as simple as you updating your scraper. Use the 
Moving Picture FAQ otherwise for help on how to do so (the forum FAQ will be 
added 
to Wiki soon to make it easier).

I just installed the latest beta....  doesn't this mean it's the latest 
scraper? 
I'll check though - where is this FAQ located?  Sorry I can't find it, ha!

The textual steps I laid out should have already clearly shown you the order of 
scrapers and their versions. The FAQ is at: 
http://forum.team-mediaportal.com/moving-
pictures-284/faq-frequently-asked-questions-read-first-76721/

And yes beta3 comes with IMDb v1.4.7, or at least v1.4.6 (which also contains 
fix 
for rating), but maybe something went wrong on your setup, that's why we need 
your 
help to find out what/where/why/etc.

I verified again just now and I can not find anything wrong with the 
score/rating 
RegularExpressions inside the scraper, for example "2012" movie that shows up 
blank 
in your list, so the key right now is to find out why things didn't update for 
you.

There is also the possability that your database contains the right value, but 
that 
your XML Export list messed up, are you sure you verified where the problem 
lies? 
Check the "Movie Details" listing inside MovingPictures configuration.

It's not the exporter, as it's also "blank" inside moving pictures config and 
in MP.
 I'll double check though in a bit, thanks.

ok yes, i had an old version.  I updated to the latest from the forum, 1.4.7.  
Now,
how can i force it to re-look for information from IMDB on all the films?

In the Movie Manager (on the config screen) select all the movies in your list 
(hold 
down the shift button while clicking) and then click the refresh button on the 
toolbar.
