Yes, the direct and web spider pull the plot info.

Wierd how it works for u on the free XL version. I changed my spider and now it works..

old one
//Plot old
// <h5>Plot Outline:</h5>.*?<a class="tn15more inline" href="(?<url>/rg/title-tease/plotsummary/title/.*?/plotsummary)">more</a>
// <p class="plotpar">.*?(?<plot>.*?)<i>

new one
// Plot new 071212
<h5>Plot Outline:</h5>.*?(?<plot>.*?) <a class="tn15more inline"

Lasse - I think Wes is talking about the PreRelease not the FreeXL (pre-calrad version).

The updated code you entered works but only pulls the outline from the main movie page. To get the whole plot summary from the PlotsSummary page try:

Code: Select all

//Plot
<h5>Plot Outline:</h5>.*?<a class="tn15more inline" href="(?<url>/title/tt.*?/plotsummary)" onClick=.*?more</a>
<p class="plotpar">.*?(?<plot>.*?)<i>

I think that should work although I haven't tested it in XL. I'll try and find some time this week to update my spiders for FreeXL. I know a few of them need some tweaking.

good luck,
tsw

I think he's talking about prerelease too. He prob missed that I actually posted on the free XL forum, he he.

never mind. Thanks for the updated code.

Sorry I was not clear, It is only for the pre-release versions.

I thought so. I haven't moved to the prerelease on the real HTPC yet. Eagerly wating for V3 to make the change.

I cannot seem to get the plot to download correctly for BOTH a single-line plot (ie Juno) and a multi-line plot (ie American Gangster)

The single-line works fine, but for something like American Gangster, I get garbage characters...
