Own TV scraper doesn't load IMDB info in some cases

Open Metal-Snake opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

Scrapers that don't work:

  • [x] IMDb
  • [x] TMDb

Details which are wrong / not loaded: Title, Original title, Rating, Votes

MediaElch Version:

  • [x] 2.10.3-dev (nightly)

Operating System:

  • [x] macOS

Additional context: This seems to happen only with one particular show "Das Geheimnis des Sagala" when using the "own scraper".

Old info I already have in the nfo: Bildschirmfoto 2023-07-23 um 14 46 16

After scraping to get updated information: Title and Voting got removed Bildschirmfoto 2023-07-23 um 14 47 11

Scraper settings (the missing info is set to IMDB): Bildschirmfoto 2023-07-23 um 14 41 41

The scraper window: Bildschirmfoto 2023-07-23 um 14 41 16

If I use the IMDB Scraper it works better: Bildschirmfoto 2023-07-23 um 14 54 18

Thanks for reporting! I'll try to have a look at this next week.

Fields are cleared even if the assigned scraper does not report any data. I want to move to a "merge" features sometime in the future.

I you scrape a TV show only via IMDb (not the custom scraper), does it work?

IMDb is hard to scrape. It does not support localization, so sometimes it fails to load TV shows in other languages (e.g. German in this case).

yes, that works as shown in the last screenshot in the bug report. ;)
