Thanks for this agent, you have done a awesome job, I was having trouble matching some content, but I found a easy fix by doing a manual match and using the numbers in the data18 url and it works.
for example http://www.data18.com/content/1160670
if i use plex and do manual match and type 1160670 as the title it finds it. This helped me out a lot
Also for some reason my evilangel covers are really low quality how can I fix this?
Hello,
I want to start by saying i LOVE this metadata agent, it certainly has saved me a ton of headache as my movie collection grows. I am having an issue though since I updated my plex media server/web player to version 2.6.0. When I add videos to my library, the date is disregarded. If I click the edit window after refreshing a title to get all the metadata, the date will be blank, but all other information is correct. This also poses a problem when adding videos to my library that share a name with another video. For example, if I have two movies in my collection named ‘Amazing Amy,’ one from 2014 and one from 2015, i can name one of the files Amazing Amy (2015).mp4, and the metadata agent normally matches the correct information to the video. This is no longer the case since it seems the date isn’t working anymore. Anyone else having this issue? Thanks in advance.
Just to chime in here and say that the data18-content agent has stopped finding the year of the scenes for me also, for about a week now – last time I seem to recall data18 had changed how their webpages were laid out and a small tweak had to be made to the agent to get it working again. Is it possible to restore this functionality?
http://plexuas.com/package/Data18.bundle This Zip is broken 
Can someone email the bundle to me please?
Nevermind I found a link on the first post
But How do I move the folder into Plex/Plugins? do I rename the whole folder Data18.bundle and plex will be able to use it?
OK I made it into Data18-1.bundle with my Youtube.bundle and Soundloud.bundle
How do I use it? Its not showing up in channels where youtube and soundcloud is? Can I associate it with my Adult Library somehow?
Ok I found the option to use the Data18 for the database, but when I ran a scan none of the Videos were renamed or posters changed…
The image proxy is a bit beyond my technical ability to setup is that what I need to do or should it be able to run without it?
Hey all,
I took a quick look at what’s going on with the date, and have found the culprit. Looks like there was a recent change to coding of the Data18 site, which is throwing the agent off the right track and it’s no loner parsing the date correctly.
Basically, in your “init.py” file you need to replace lines 47-50 (inclusive) with these:
'release-date2': '//*[span[contains(text(),"Release date")]]\
//a[@title="Show me all updates from this date"]',
'release-date3': '//*[span[contains(text(),"Release date")]]\
/span[@class="gen11"]/b',
I’m actually not entirely sure if the last two lines here are right, but the agent seems to work again as it should. Halkon, maybe you can verify when you have a minute…
Actually, I’ve got another little bonus to share. There are some genre tags that the agent pulls down which I don’t like to see, but rather than hard coding those omissions in the script, I found a way to get them filtered out as an external variable:
Now when you go to ‘Edit Library’, under ‘Advanced’, you can specify the genres which you want filtered out, any and as many as you like, with a semicolon between each entry. Refresh your library, and the unwanted genre tags should disappear.
@Halkon, if you want to include this in the distribution package at GitHub, please go right ahead.
Cheers,
How hard would it be to have a “scan” feature/plugin/button added like they used to have for car radio. I have a rather large library that contains all my data18 matched movies. I think it would be cool if before you settled down to watch a flick, the shuffle button would just play the first 30 seconds of the video so you could then see what you’re “in the mood for” LoL.
How should I be naming my folders/files so that this plugin picks up the correct files?
I have them in the following structure:
Pirates (2005-09-26)/Pirates (2005-09-26).mkv
But the plugin doesn’t even come close to finding the correct match.
It should be names just Pirates
http://www.data18.com/movies/123748 I guess that is your movie.
@SharQ I modified the code as you said and it seems to be working just fine now. Thanks a lot for the help.

I tried that but not all the movies got picked up so that’s why I added the year.
I changed the folder name to 123748 and it picked up the correct movies.
Is anyone else having an issue where it pulls everything but the picture? Just started today, added 12 movies the same way I always do and it pulled the years and synopsis, but no pictures. Would love to hear ANYTHING back so I can rule out if its the Plugin or something else. Not really sure what else it would be since everything else works just fine. Thanks.
Still happening as of this morning… Reinstalled everything, rebooted everything, I can’t see anything else it could be… anyone else having similar issues? Plugin is pulling everything but the art.
HI All, I am a total newbie here and to PMS. I installed the package for this Plugin but I am not seeing it in my channels list. How and where do I find this and how do I use this Plugin? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

It’s not a channel, it grabs the metadata, posters etc for videos you have from the site.
Well, this plugin went from working fine for a year to not working for me at all. Im getting 0 assistance here in the forums, not even an acknowledgement lol. Can ANYONE tell me if they are able to add a new movie and it successfully grab the artwork for it? Going on days now without functionality.

I had to change my folder name to the movie ID on data18.
So instead of calling my folder Jesse: Sex Machine 2 I’d call it 1147664.
Just tried it out today and it worked perfectly.
BTW I believe asking nicely and being patient is the best you can do on a forum. The developers of this Agent are not paid nor full-time on this. I am sure they will get back when they can, always have in the past.
