About
Python TheMovieDB scraper for Movies is an early version of a Python scraper (wiki) for Movies and Movie Collections used by KODI.
The scraper relies on matching your folder and filenames to movie titles at TheMovieDB site. For this reason, it is important to ensure your folders and files are correctly and cleanly named for an accurate scrape.
This is an early version of this scraper and it is early days for Python scrapers in general, so this is available mostly for use testing. Please do test and give it a try and evaluate the speed and info it sets and whatever.
This add-on uses tmdbsimple for integrating with TMDB and for the short term it is included directly in the add-on source for evaluation and simpler one-download testing. This first version also has an older version of tmdbsimple (1.5.0) as included in the original PR.
Python scrapers are missing one notable feature in general at the moment, source and path specific settings. You must change scraper settings at Settings>Add-ons>My Add-ons>Information Providers>Movie information for them to take effect. This is pretty harsh so probably think of these Python scrapers as experimental and maybe the interface will be redesigned, but we can still give them a good testing to see how everything else works out.
This scraper will download the following:
Artwork: Poster and Fanart URLs for Movie and Movie Sets, Actor image URLs.
Metadata: Numerous.

Current issues and changes
The above noted missing feature, path specific settings.
And Karellen was nice enough to already quickly break QA
this, so here is a list of other things we currently know don't match the XML scrapers:1. IMDB Ratings not retrieved
2. No Set Overview is scraped
3. Multiple Studios returned that breaks Studio Icon lookup
4. Parsing NFO File does not work
And then a "stretch" list of possible new features that should be easy enough to add
5. Allow user edit MPAA prefix
6. IMDB Top 250
