If you try to search on data18.com you don't find it either, neither does the content agent.
Can someone look into that? If I can provide any more information please let me know.
OK, solved my problem. Didn't see the N.A. site problem you described on page 4. Is there really no other chance or site which can do this better, maybe with an API?
Antoher request would be, if this agent has any solution to search for the content ID. The anidb.net plugin from the forum here has this search (you just type aid:XXX (XXX=ID)). Maybe someone can use this plugin to implement it here?
I am have the same issue as well. Agent finds correct version after "fixing incorrect version" and then replaces it with the wrong thing. I cant find any metadata on the file that would indicate the incorrect version as well.
The problem is the page "number" associated with newer titles. The metadata agent takes the URL for the movie page and places it in the "Tagline" field, but appears to expect only a 6-digit number. The newer movies have 7 digits and the agent is stripping off the last number, leaving a reference to a different movie.
Seems to be working for me. Make sure you uninstall it and then re-install the addon. I had to delete the library and re-add it as well but others might not have that issue. Thanks for the fix and update!
Found a problem but it's slightly more related to the scanner not the metadata agent. Relevant info for anyone who wants a "fix" though. The default movie scanner sees the string 'xxx' as a miscellaneous tag to be removed during matching titles. I happened to have quite a few parody titles which used that in their name.
Ex:
The ■■■ Files a Dark XXX Parody (2009)
The scanner however will match the title as 'The ■■■ Files a Dark Parody', which you would think wouldn't be a big deal. However when data18 attempts to find the metadata for it, it will use the url:
No problemo. My hack'ish solution was to re-implement the default Movie scanner but leave the XXX string alone. This actually happens inside VideoFiles, which is used by Movie Scanner in the CleanName function. Mostly copy'pasting and changing the usage of VideoFiles.CleanName to just CleanName (because it will be defined locally in the script).
So if you have a title that REQUIRES the string 'XXX' in the title to be matched correctly, you'll have to use another scanner.
Another way to achieve a similar result would be to name your file “the ■■■ files a dark”. Data 18 searching does well with search terms that contain the result. This of course gets difficult with popular words, or search terms containing few words.
The Data18-content agent does not seem to find movies scenes any longer (at least for me, after it worked well for a long time). Is ti maybe related to the change that the Data18 agent for movies needed? Could someone look into it, please? I also like the idea from justmultiplex to simply add/search the data18 content id so I can manually add stuff as fallback.
