The IMDb scraper won't find information on the movie S.W.A.T. Anyone else see this?
Also, it would be nice if it followed the "more..." link to pull all actor bio's.
Should I enter a bug?
This is due to the fact the scraper will try to replace chars like dots and dashes to spaces.
To workaround you'll have to rename the movie to "Swat" or use a nfo file to point to the correct imdb url. See Video nfo files containing an URL (http://xbmc.org/wiki/?title=Import_-_Export_Library#Video_nfo_files_containing_an_URL) for futher information on nfo scraping.

Thanks...do you know why it replaces dots and dashes instead of just stripping off the suffix and searching the complete name?
As a side question...do most people use IMDb or is there a better choice?
