Scraping inconsistency scrap.exe/xbmc?

[ezd]

I'm making a scraper for AsianDB.com. It seems to work flawlessly under scrap.exe, but XBMC misses a lot of info it retrieves. Here's an example details XML output:

<details>
	<title>Violent Cop</title>
	<year>1989</year>
	<director>Takeshi Kitano</director>
	<runtime>103mins</runtime>
	<thumb>http://www.asiandb.com/data/title/mini/4141.jpg</thumb>
	<rating>7</rating>
	<votes>3</votes>
	<genre>Action</genre>
	<genre>Crime</genre>
	<credits>Takeshi Kitano</credits>
	<credits>Hisashi Nozawa</credits>
	<actor>
		<name>Takeshi Kitano</name>
	</actor>
</details>

XBMC doesn't extract the director, genre, credits (correct way to enter writers?) and actors, but does get all other items.

Is there a bug in my XML output? (Note: pretty-printed for readability, no extra whitespace in actual XML)

Also, pressing X+Y during boot did get me in debug mode, but didn't tell much about the scraping process. Is there a method (like in the old days ) to set the debuglevel to 'insane' or similar?

Thanks for any help you can give,

For reference, I've upped the current asiandb.xml to pastebin.

before each of those you have regexp's that grabs the relevant pieces of the html. on those you don't specify 'noclean="1"' and hence all html tags are stripped off. i guess the scrap.exe doesnt honor this.

any progress on this scraper ?
i really need this one.

[spiff]

wise-ass... if i could don't you think i would ?
some people have learned them selfs programming skills, other artistic skills.

it doesnt take programming skills. that's the whole reason i created the scraper system. it only takes some logic and reading a 10 min regexp guide.

if you think it's that easy for everyone, then why is 'esd' having problems with it ?
I'm pretty much code-blind, but if you (or anyone else) could give a little help i might give it (another) try.
