View Full Version : Italian language scrapers - FilmUP
Hi! This is my first post and my first scraper! :nod:
This is the filmup (http://filmup.leonardo.it/) version, but now i will try other sources, too many differences from a movie to another.
Director - 90% working(when the name is without link)
Writer - not avaialable here
Genre - 100% working
Year - 100% working
Tagline - not avaialable here
Plot outline - 100% working
Rating - not avaialable here
Runtime - 100% working
MPAA Rating - not avaialable here
Thumbnail - 100% working
Cast - 1% working :sad:
Try it : FilmUP.zip (http://www.noizemm.ch/xbmc/videoscrapers/FilmUP.zip)
:D
I have corrected many errors, now the developement status is:
Director - 99% working(escape characters used for names like:"Alejandro González Iñárritu" -> in the code is "Alejandro González Iñárritu" the problem is present only for names with stranges charaters)
Genre - 100% working
Year - 100% working
Plot outline - 100% working
Runtime - 100% working
Thumbnail - 100% working
Cast - 100% working(no rule field on filmup)
Writer - not avaialable here
Tagline - not avaialable here
Rating - not avaialable here
MPAA Rating - not avaialable here
Take it here: FilmUP.zip (http://www.noizemm.ch/xbmc/videoscrapers/FilmUP.zip)
Can i use a custom function for take the missing fields from imdb?
yes you can. see how the ofdb scraper does it.
Mh.. in the ofdb page there is the direct link for the imdb page, like:"http://german.imdb.com/title/ttxxxx"
On filmup, no link to the imdb database. So, we have 2 possibilities:
1) make another search, this time in the imdb site
2) add a line to the nfo file, 1 for filmup and 1 for imdb
any other idea?
PS.. ops (I had forgotten the nfourl section, now it's ok, same link :rolleyes: )
FilmUP.zip (http://www.noizemm.ch/xbmc/videoscrapers/FilmUP.zip)
It's not possible to modify the info page to display only the filled fields?
I have contacted (email) the filmUP site administrators, but... for now.. nothing.
I have tested the scraper with many friends and it's 100% working (99%... some fields missing on FilmUp, but it's working).
... It's done.
It's possible to include it without the reply from the administrators?

NoiZe sei un grande... xbmc con filmup è una meraviglia!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ciao a tutti! Ho notato che da 1 po che XBMC blocca quando uso lo scrapes di filmup, nello specifico quando cerca le informazioni dei film più recenti! Capita anche a voi?
please, these forums are english.
Sorry! I have a problem with XBMC and filmup scrape. When i search an info for new film (recent of 2007), the mediacenter freeze on the film info panel...
can i have a debug log or atleast the name of the movie?
The title of film is Pathfinder, Perfect Strangers, The good shepherd and many others!
..and thi si the debug log.. http://pastebin.com/m62ade6cb
This is a message for all the italian users of xbmc!
In the FilmUp site the results pages are generated differently and with many errors. They are not collaborative with the users... in many months no 1 requested movie have been added.
The only solution is to find&chose another movie database site more collaborative and functional, then i can make the new scraper.
.... possible sites are like:
-comingsoon.it (http://www.comingsoon.it)
-mymovies.it (http://www.mymovies.it)
-it.movies.yahoo.com (http://it.movies.yahoo.com)
..
..any other?
What about:
- www.cinemazone.it (Really nice one, high priority)
I really think its a great site. It has detailed info, and lots of strings

Hello! This is my first post on XBMC forum.
I was interested in having a scraper for movies, working with a site in Italian language. In effect FilmUP is not really updated... I cannot find many film.
MyMovies.it seems really a good site! All the movies I searched were found.
So I looked for a scraper for mymovies and found this one:
http://xbmc.org/trac/ticket/5099
Bit it wasn't working correctly: many fields were not valued, especially an important one... the title!
So I changed the scraper.
Now it works for me and is able to fetch: Title, year, genre, runtime, year and the plot!!! the main fields, in my opinion!!!
You can find the Ubuntu/Debian install package in Trac, just download and doubbleclick and the scraper will be added to XBMC automagically!!! I've posted even the scraper XML file for those users that doesn't use Ubuntu/Debian.
P.S.
To all Italian users: for "TV Shows" I suggest to use www.thetvdb.com since it can manage many languages... If you can't find your show, just add an entry in the DB! It's community driven!

Thx BUDO for fixing this one....also the vote/rating (mymonetro) is working???
I think this is also a very important field....
thx
Hello, I found a small bug in filmup.xml .
The first line
<scraper name="FilmUP.it" content="movies" thumb="FilmUP.gif">
refers to image "FilmUP.gif" but the actual file is "filmup.gif".
This prevents the image to be displayed under Linux in the list of scrapers. This is not a problem under Windows since its file system is case insensitive.
The line should be:
<scraper name="FilmUP.it" content="movies" thumb="filmup.gif">
thx
cheers. next time please submit a diff on trac
hi all
i still have problems with sraper for mymovies.it
I'can't get title.....

Hi for the italian users you suggest thetvdb but I tried for example "Romanzo criminale" and "Heroes". Both series appear in english. How can select the languige? What I wrong? Other url for italian tv shows? How I add the url?
Thanks

Reading the XML definition of the scraper I understand that it read HTML code of the website pages (is this correct ?).
Does someone get in contact with mymovies.it webmaster to verify if it's possible to use a API to query database ?

ehm...:nod:

it's impossible! :sad: I try to contact them, but never get answer...but this is normal, if you don't see their pages you don't see their advertising...
I wrote mymovies.it scraper 1 year ago and now nothing work, reason: new graphic for mymovies.it.
In this day i'm rewriting the scraper...i hope mymovies don't change for some times :rolleyes:
