Boxee Scraper

[PepePolo80]

Hello,

Im new in boxee world. I started with Boxee in Windows and a few days i bought a boxee box.
In Windows version of boxee i have seen that are multiple scrapers in the directory "Boxee\system\scrapers\video\"

I'm from spain and i wanted to have my library with information in spanish.
Anyone Knows how can i use those scraper?
Does it exists in Boxee box?
I'm particularly interested in filmaffinity and if exist in a IMDB.es scraper.

If now only is posible user scraper for IMDB.com i hope we can use it in near future.

AFAIK BoxeeBox scrapes the metadata for movies from IMDB and there's not any option to use any other scrapper However you can use .NFO's for Spanish content using Ember Media Manager. More info on NFO creation can be found in this thread http://forums.boxee.tv/showthread.ph...ht=ember+media .

Thanks for your quick answer.

I really dont understand why in windows version exists that scrappers and dont uses the boxee box. (I think dont uses that xml windows version neither)

Even if i try to modify that XML i cant put in the boxee box.
The Telnetd was close for "our security"

I know about NFO way to have the library in spanish but
We pay 180€ and i think must be another way in we haven't to do work with other programs to get NFO files.

Even XBMC have scraprers in spanish !!!
Im really very disappointing to buy this media center for 180€.
We pay a lot of money for a closed system and It doesnt gives us funcionality that a free program like XBMC gives.

Im thinkin sell it and buy an apple TV.

PC/MAC versions don't have custom scrapers since ALPHA version I think, and I really hate this. I saw the directory you were mentioning too, but I think it's just a remnant from the past versions.

I'd like to have an Italian scraper, or at least an implementation of the A.K.A. service from IMDB: i'm so tired of creating NFO, or renaming my movies in english :@

They sell the box internationally but the only country that seems to matter is the U.S.A. and of course, now they are busy with the revolutionary tuner (still, US only)
I just want to use the box for my media (there are no cool apps like vudu, netflix & co here) without going crazy with all nfos and stuff like that. Am I asking too much?

I'll suggest you guys to open a ticket on support.boxee.tv & create an issue on jira.boxee.tv to let Developers know what're your issues !!

Thank you for the answer, but I'm afraid it's not a priority at the moment! (or at all?)

Yeah you're right there're already jira issues on this. Since iomega Boxee is launched in EU and other non English speaking countries, I think they have to support it eventually !!
