The movie Caligula (1979) would not be find with xbmc movie scraper. I have tried to find it "manually" without any success. Can you please have a look at it. Thanks in advance https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/9453-caligola?language=en

Hi pet74lar,
It's marked as an adult movie. Is it?
I don't believe XBMC has the ability to search for adult movies. This is why you aren't finding it via the API.

On IMDb is categorized as Adult, Drama, History. It is a mainstream movie with some nudity and sex scenes. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080491/

Cases like this one can be easily solved by XBMC users. Just create a text file with exactly the same name as the movie file, but with a NFO extension instead of the video file extension. The contents of the text file are the URL of the movie, and this NFO file must be in the same folder as the movie file. That simple. For example, if the movie file is named Caligula (1979).mpg the text file must be named Caligula (1979).nfo and the contents must be http://www.themoviedb.org/movie/9453-caligola The scrapper should now find the file in TMDb. For further home-customisation after scrapping the movie I suggest using the XWMM add-on, namely to make corrections to the Genres of the movie, or to handle Sets / Collections.

Do you have XWMM working with XBMC 12? As far as I can tell on the XWMM thread, the latest version is for XBMC 11.x

I have two different machines, one acting as a local network file server where I have XBMC 12 (Frodo) installed, and I can confirm that XWMM is not (yet) working with it. My other machine, acting as a client, where I have XBMC 11 (Eden) installed, I've no problems with XWMM. It's just a matter of waiting for an upgrade, as they already did when Eden was released.
