La casa de papel - kodi scrapper

khunalex wrote 4 years ago: 1

Hello.

La casa de papel has 2 listings (originally aired and netflix) in tvmaze database labeled as World premier and English language premier.

However with the tvmaze kodi scraper seems I can only get one of this 2 listings (the originally aired one)

I tried with all the "preferred episode order" in the addon settings (Default, English, Broadcast, Streaming, Country, Verbatin, DVD) and none of them download the info as showed here in the website under English Language Premier (Netflix).

The closest it gets is to show properly season 1, 3 and 4. But it skips the 2.

Is it a bug or is there something I am missing ?

I'm checking it. So far I noticed that in "English premiere" listing some episodes are listed twice: http://api.tvmaze.com/alternatelists/17/alternateepisodes?embed=episodes I haven't watched this show so my question is: how accurate is this "English premiere" listing and why those episode duplications? For example, s01e01 and s01e02 in "English premiere" order point to the same episode: https://www.tvmaze.com/episodes/1150962/la-casa-de-papel-1x01-efectuar-lo-acordado

Also issues with TVmaze Kodi scraper should better be reported on Kodi forum: https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=349813&page=3 or on Github: https://github.com/romanvm/kodi.tvmaze/issues TVmaze Kodi scraper was created in close cooperation with TVmaze team, but technically it's an independent project and I don't visit TVmaze very often to check for any possible issue reports.

Casa de Papel is a particularly messed up scenario: Netflix took the original episodes and cut them up from ~75-minute episodes to ~45 minute episodes. That means there's no clear mapping between the alternate episodes and the originals, and multiple alternate episodes point to the same original episode.

This is possible but an extremely rare scenario, see https://www.tvmaze.com/faq/40/alternate-episodes, so I don't know if you'll care to add support for it..

I already have a fix that seems to work with stub episode files but I need to test it more.

Yes it is messed up but therer is already 2 matching listing: 

https://www.tvmaze.com/alternatelists/17/la-casa-de-papel-english-language-premiere under "English Language Premiere".

https://www.tvmaze.com/shows/27436/la-casa-de-papel/episodes under "World Premiere"

 

With Kodi tvmaze scrapper i can only get the "world premiere" even if I set in the addon settings to obtain "English Language Premiere". Its like it ignore the settings...

Actually, under the "English Premiere" listing (aka Netflix) the episode titles are showed accurately. Episode 1, Episode 2, Episode 3.... are the generic titles that Netflix shows for seasons 1 and 2. (I just checked it). Seasons 3 and 4 have proper titles.

https://www.tvmaze.com/alternatelists/17/la-casa-de-papel-english-language-premiere (4 seasons: 13+9+8+8). We can say that to scrap this info as it is, it's perfect.

Anyway, glad to hear you found out how to fix it. Looking forward to downloading the patch or update the addon? It's a very popular show and it's a pity all the kodi scrappers fail with it. Your contribution is the closest one to succeed and after your fix, I believe it's gonna be the first one :)

Apologies for posting the issue here. To be honest I wasn't aware where was the right place to post it.

Thank you very much for your support.

What "Prefered Episode Order" has to be selected in order to scrap the English Version (Netflix 13+9+8+8) of La Casa de Papel?

The available options are: Default, English Language Premiere, Broadcast Premiere, Streaming Premiere, Country Premiere, Verbatim, DVD/BluRay Release.

Is there any connection between how the file is named and any of this options? 

And what is the version including the fix? I am using 1.1.0+matrix.1.

Episode orders available in the addon correspond to those on TVmaze. If the selected order is not available for some show, the default order will be used. For "La Casa de Papel" it should be "English language premiere" as I understand. Again, I'm not familiar with this particular show.

Fixed version is 1.1.1 and should be published soon.

It works perfect now after the update to 1.1.1. Thank you so much.
