Bug: Wont always scrape plot for episodes on movies for imdb
I notice if you scrape an episode in the movies tab the plot of the episode wont always scrape and it wont show up in the prievew either. Reason i do this is because some tv episodes are under unknown since i want to have those episdoes as an indivual movie since you cant scrape them normally using the tvshow scraper.
As an extra note you need to put in the imdb id for the episode itself to scrape as a movie.
Hi,
thanks for reporting. What do you mean by "for episode on movies"? MediaElch has two tabs: movies and TV shows. Episodes can only be loaded from the TV show tab, movies only from the movie tab.
Do you have an example? e.g. movie / TvShow+episode that doesn't work as expected?
Regards, Andre
Actually if you paste the imdbid for an episode in the movies it will scrape the episode as a movie but not every plot for episodes scrape when you scrape them in the movie tab. Since for example some episodes for shows were released as a single movie on DVD but it's not on IMDb or tmdb as movies. Like the old Goosebumps show a lot of those were released as a single DVD for certain episodes same with other shows for both websites.
That is what I meanf by episodes on movies I meant episodes as movies sorry was typo
Ah, ok. :)
I'm afraid that's currently not supported. The website layout for movies and episodes differ a bit on IMDb.
I'll mark this issue a "gap", as it's something between a bug and feature request.
What do you mean its not supported? It scrapes an episode just fine all you have to do is put an imdbid and it scrapes the episode in the movies tab and makes it a "movie" it just doesnt scrape the plot of the episode sometimes. It scrapes the episode thumnail, actors, director, writers excetra. just the plot it sometiems doesnt scrape.
