Episode rating not scraping?

[Tushar Bhutt]

Hello,

it seems to me that the episode rating scrape does not work (this is for MC 3.7.3.3 74 bit on Windows 10 Pro). II am not sure if I am doing something wrong but that is highly likely!

I have tried the following settings:

Using XBMC "The TVDB" Scraper function:

1. uncheck ratings from alternate scraper and uncheck get episode ratings from IMDB

2. check ratings from alternate scraper and uncheck get episode ratings from IMDB

3. uncheck ratings from alternate scraper and check get episode ratings from IMDB, check fallback to TVDB

4. uncheck ratings from alternate scraper, check get episode ratings from IMDB, uncheck fallback to TVDB

5. check ratings from alternate scraper, uncheck fallback to TVDB, uncheck get episode ratings from IMDB

6. check ratings from alternate scraper, uncheck fallback to TVDB, check get episode ratings from IMDB

Series and Episode ratings from IMDB (fallback to TVDB)

1. check include ratings from alternate scraper
2. uncheck include ratings from alternate scraper

For all of the above scenarios, the result is no score, with the NFO file showing:

<ratings>
    <rating name="tvdb" max="10" default="true">
        <value>0.0</value>
        <votes>
        </votes>
    </rating>
</ratings>

Is there something else I should be looking at?

Thanks,

TB

Not seeing an issue here
Just scraped a Simpsons episode, rating from tvdb worked correctly

    <ratings>
        <rating name="tvdb" max="10" default="true">
            <value>7.8</value>
            <votes>43</votes>
        </rating>
    </ratings>

with Include ratings from alternative scraper

    <ratings>
        <rating name="tvdb" max="10" default="true">
            <value>7.8</value>
            <votes>43</votes>
        </rating>
        <rating name="themoviedb" max="10">
            <value>7.6</value>
            <votes>7</votes>
        </rating>
    </ratings>

and include IMDb (different episode this time)

    <ratings>
        <rating name="tvdb" max="10">
            <value>7.4</value>
            <votes>29</votes>

Hmm...

Umbrella Academy, S01E01:

<ratings>
    <rating name="tvdb" max="10" default="true">
        <value>0.0</value>
        <votes>
        </votes>
    </rating>
</ratings>

Simpsons S20E01:

</credits>
<ratings>
    <rating name="tvdb" max="10" default="true">
        <value>0.0</value>
        <votes>
        </votes>
    </rating>
</ratings>

Screen shot shows settings.

[Rob]

Very odd.

Cause for Simpsons S20E01 I got

    <title>Sex, Pies and Idiot Scrapes</title>
    <season>20</season>
    <episode>1</episode>
    <aired>2008-09-28</aired>
    <plot>Bounty hunter Ned is forced to scrap his partnership with Homer when the hapless layabout skips bail, and Marge mistakenly takes a job at an erotic bakery.</plot>
    <playcount>0</playcount>
    <director>Lance Kramer</director>
    <credits>Kevin Curran</credits>
    <ratings>
        <rating name="tvdb" max="10" default="true">

        </rating>
    </ratings>

Your settings look right, but something isn't meshing properly.
Can you try renaming the Settings folder and starting MC clean. Add just the Simpsons series and rescrape that S20E01 again.

I did that and got halfway there...

<ratings>
    <rating name="tvdb" max="10" default="true">
        <value>7.0</value>
        <votes>
        </votes>
    </rating>
</ratings>

No ratings from other sources and no votes. Then I flipped to the XBMC scraper setting and back and I was back to zeros across the board. I deleted the .NFO files and started again with the XMBC scraper and now I get all the data.

<ratings>
    <rating name="tvdb" max="10">
        <value>7.0</value>
        <votes>91</votes>
    </rating>
    <rating name="themoviedb" max="10">
        <value>6.0</value>
        <votes>4</votes>
    </rating>
    <rating name="imdb" max="10" default="true">
        <value>7.3</value>
        <votes>1112</votes>
    </rating>
</ratings>

But...

I picked another episode that had an existing NFO file and asked for a rescrape, and the program did a search for new episodes instead. This behaviour was repeatable until I restarted the program. Upon restart, the episode refresh stopped working:

<ratings>
    <rating name="tvdb" max="10" default="true">
        <value>0.0</value>
        <votes>
        </votes>
    </rating>

I deleted the NFO one more time, and did a search for new episodes and the metadata is back. Rescraping it worked fine but a duplicate episode showed in the list. Picking the next episode down and asking for a rescrape started the new episode search again.

Asking the program to search the specific show for new episodes removes the duplicate episode, but also the one I was just working with from the list (but since the NFO files still exist, doing a refresh all brings them back, but not with the correct votes or ratings).

Curious indeed

[Rob]

Yes, I see a serious issue with MC creating duplicate entries in the treeview, and I am working on finding where this is happening and how to fix it.

As for your S20E04 episode disappearing, from the NFO, there is no Unique Episode Id. Something went wrong and this has disappeared. And I suspect this is why it disappeared from the series when you did a refresh.

Will let you know when I find the issue and get it corrected.

[Tushar Bhutt]

Sounds good, thanks for looking into it.

[Tushar Bhutt]

Hello, any update on this one?

[Rob]

No fix for the duplicate entries yet, This is a tricky one to resolve, but still working on it.

[Tushar Bhutt]

Sounds good, thanks
