    There seems to be something wrong with the scraping from tmdb, its not detecting the movies anymore, but if i do a change movie, it works..

    the error on scraping is TMDB may not be available or Movie Title is invalid
    I've tried on both the new 3.7.50 and the previous version

    In the Movie Preferences, Check the option Enable Advanced Title Search
    Should work for you from now on.

    MC will be dropping using Kodi Scraper in the next release due to so many changes outside of MC's control.

      Did you finally drop the Kodi scraper or are you still using it ?

      The settings panel still name the option to use TMDB for movies as "Use TMDB XBMC Scraper".

        Not at this time as Kodi scraper hasn't gone fully Python....yet.

    Hi Rob,

    Awesome that worked great!

    On a side note, I had noticed that the app was written in VB, and wanted to offer up my services if you guys are looking for anyone else to help with coding or troubleshooting or anything. I have written a couple apps before for the companies I worked for and would love to help with a project that I think is great.

    Thanks,
    Tom

    Hi Tom

    If your interested, download the source and take a look.
    Most info is in the Wiki here on programs we use.

    If your keen, I can promote you to allow edits. But first check over the code.

      1. Some infos need to be updated in this Wiki. They are still related to Codeplex that is not anymore in use.
      2. The available VB version in your dowload link is "Visual Basic 2019". Did you check if changes are needed to you use it? Personally, I have use it for small debugging in the past, but I haven't do extensive tests.

      Awesome, I had already downloaded from the code tab and realized that was a really old version, I will take a look and download the needed software tomorrow. are you really using vs 2015 or are you using more current version? I may still have my msdn copy of VS2015 on a drive somewhere if that's what's needed.

    I have VS2015 and it seems to work fine. Although I'm not actively developing, I still download Rob's changes and build from there.

    Yes, VS2015 (and have VS2017), but mainly debug and build on 2015. I'll have to look at the Wiki and update it.
