Introduction

Thanks for all the XBMC contributors.

This is my first attempt to write a movie scraper for Traditional Chinese users, especially who live in Taiwan.

Current version of the scraper downloads movie details from atmovies.com.tw, probably the biggest movie website in Taiwan. It will download following information in Traditional Chinese:

1. title
2. year
3. runtime
4. outline
5. plot

1. director
2. actor
3. thumb
4. fanart
5. rating
6. genre
7. votes

Other information will be added in future version.

In my experience, the search engine of AtMovies is quite strict. One may found nothing in search result if you mistyped a letter in English. So my suggestion is that users can categorize your movies in the form of \OriginalTitle\EnglishTitle.mkv. Thus if you want to do scraper things by this Traditional Chinese scraper, you can search them by directory name. On the other hand, if you want to search them in English websites such as IMDB, you can search them by file name.

Note that if you can find movie titles but can't download movie detail, please try again at another time because of the connection issue of AtMovie.

Details

Just extract the scraper files( xml & png ) into the /system/scraper/video under XBMC installation directory.

For Dharma release, it is recommended to install this scraper from the addon manager in XBMC( System->Add-ons->Get Add-ons->XBMC.org Add-ons->Movie information ) for future updates.

To fully enable all the functions of this scraper, it is also recommended to set this scraper as the default movie scraper( System->Video->Scrapers )

To obtain information of director, writer and cast, be sure to have IMDB scraper installed. It is installed by default in XBMC 9.11, but need to be installed by yourself in Dharma beta currently.

若已經建立過影片資料庫，則先由資料庫模式進入到檔案模式

Note

注意，根據我的經驗，開眼電影網似乎在晚上時間比較難連線，若發生找的到片名但是找不到詳細內容的話，請換個時間試試(如早上)

建議存放影片的命名方式為 中文電影名\英文電影名.mkv 理由如前述...

為了全面發揮本scraper的功能，建議在使用的時候將本scraper設為預設的電影scraper站台( 系統設定->影片->網路站台)。

如要取得導演、編劇、演員等資訊，請確保xbmc也安裝了IMDB的scraper,9.11版是內建，Dharma Beta要自行加入安裝。

Dharma版的建議安裝方式

由於本scraper已經進入xbmc官方addon中，所以建議從xbmc的addon管理中心安裝( 系統設定->附加元件->取得附加元件->XBMC.org Add-ons->電影資訊)，以便後續版本的自動更新。
